If I have 100% of my vesting balance available to claim.  Is there any benefit in not claiming it now?

If you have a high balance that is already 100% vested additional funds entering the vesting balance will vest more quickly.

Not that I know of

Can I continue to earn coin days that will allow access to other operations that demand 90 day vesting period but earlier than the 90 days as I have saved x number of coin days?

Good one .. no idea .. but I expect that it wouldn work that way .. @pc: I think you looked into it .. do you know?

Hello, I would like to bring some money in Open Ledger to trade regular crypto coin but something is not clear for me.

First thing is why there is 3 assets related to Bitcoin ? (BTC, OPEN.BTC and METAEX.BTC).

I also have "NO DATA" when I click to see the OPEN.BTC market and several others market, what could be the reason behind this ?

I'm a big fan of Bitshares but to be honnest this is no engaging

BTC is the market peged asset(bitBTC)
OPEN.BTC is an IOU btc from open ledger and METAEX.BTC is an IOU BTC from metaexchange, and there is also TRADE.BTC from blocktrades I think, every exchange that joins can have its own "IOU.BTC"

This is the nature of decentralized exchange. Anybody can issue their own assets, so of course there is several IOU-assets for bitcoin, and probably there will be more in the future.

I agree that it might sound confusing at first, but once you understand the reason, it should be clear.

www.obits.io says market capitalization is $ 1,610,017 (3,710 BTC) and coinmarketcap.com report $ 402,346 (926 BTC), why such difference ?

Maybe Coinmarketcap takes in to account only the ammount of obits that have been sold so far, while www.obits.io takes in to account the total amount of obits in existance, thats my guess.

I think that NO DATA apears in markets with no trade hapening like OPEN.BTC <-> USD

Does bitshares have an alert system like bitcoin?
I'm just wondering if some people still doesnt know the latest hardfork for stealth transactions.

No.. but it sounds like that could be a nice feature.

- I am always mixing up "ask" and "short" .. is there an easy way to remember what is what? Especially if you consider that the market USD/BTSX can be flipped to BTSX/USD??

ASK  = LONG
SHORT = PUT

Is the fork today? Will we get a thread saying if it was successful, what changed, etc?

The HF succesfully took place at 18.00 UTC.

Changes:
https://github.com/bitshares/bitshares-2/releases/tag/2.0.160216

https://github.com/bitshares/bitshares-2/wiki/Changelog-2.0.160216


Still, you would wait for the GUI updates to be able to easily use STEALTH

Here's the answer to the question I think may follow.

"So we suspect that we’ll have a Beta of the new GUI with STEALTH transactions out within the next week for everyone to play with. We’ll get some testing on the user interface and then assuming everything works as we would like we will roll it out officially for OpenLedger." - Dan Larimer

Thanks, I guess I confused stuff, but wasn't something scheduled for the 23rd? Was it the GUI update?
