Nice article.  People are finally starting to see crypto has more uses then just an exchange of value.

Huge article in Forbes Magazine:

Is The NanoCard Bitcoin's 'Killer' App & Can It Transform The Global Remittance Market?


With it Bitcoin and other crypto get a Just-in-Time off-ramp at any merchant that accepts debit cards.

Key acceptance problem solved for all major crypto-currencies!

Yes!  Like I posted last month, this opportunity is open to all coins, not just Bitcoin and BitShares:

Looks like BunkerDEX might be heading in that direction first:

Any plans to add the Canadian dollar?

Looks a little bit like this one, strangely:

Bitshares Corporatism / Communism crushing the common man.

I'll see if I can get a detailed process flow from CCEDK.

Stan any background on how the NanoCard actually works from start to finish in a transaction?  Does Bit-X or CCEDK hold a bank account in USD which the cards actually draw from?  How does it go over the normal banking/credit card network?

Also, this one:

CCEDK and BIT-X release first true crypto debit card.

Latest article out today on the CCEDK Nanocard.

Nanocard turns exchange account into secure wallet and integrated cashcard.

Here's the transcript to last Friday's global press conference with Dan Larimer.


A brief sample follows:

BitShares Dev Hangout – Bytemaster : Cryptonomex and Brownie.PTS

Dan Larimer of Cryptonomex talking with BitShares community members regarding BitShares 2.0 updates along with the introduction of BROWNIE.PTS and what they’re all about.

[00:01:31] fuzzy: Welcome everyone. today we’re joined by bytemaster for his weekly hangout. bytemaster is the CEO of Cryptonomex. which is a company that is going to be working on the BitShares blockchain, as well as others. As we move from BitShares being a one team show, into a more decentralized chain, the community is very important.

[00:02:20] fuzzy: The format is we’ll let bytemaster give his updates for the week. then we’ll open it up to community questions. feel free to type your questions into the chat box and I will try to ask them for you.

[00:03:14] bytemaster: It’s been a busy past 2 weeks. we have been working long hours, trying to make sure that everything is ready for the testnet. We have started doing our own internal test network over the internet. This week our goal is to work out as many bugs as possible with the testnet before we turn it over for wider community testing.

[00:03:57] bytemaster: The reasoning behind this approach is, if we can still find issues, and it’s real easy for us to find things, then it’s more efficient for us to fix it, than to open it up for the entire communities input.

[00:04:22] bytemaster: That said, we believe we’ve completed the basic protocol and things are really starting to solidify. One of the things that we have done is we’ve postponed the bond market features. Not because they’re not implemented, but simply because we don’t have the resources to thoroughly test them as much as we would like before we could release it. And because there is no user interface for it. It’s such a niche feature, we figured we’d rather release all of the stuff that is compatible with BitShares 1.0 first, then follow it with a 2.1 release that includes the bond market feature.

[00:05:12] bytemaster: That will give the community some extra time to review the proposed changes and it will also be the first hardfork voted in by the community. We’re really happy with the progress. we appreciate the patience everyone has. software development always takes longer than we would like.

[00:05:40] bytemaster: At this point I will open it up to any questions.

[00:05:45] CryptoPrometheus: I know there’s going to be a 30 day window before the snapshot day, are you going to do the same thing for DevShares?

And BitShares went live in July 2014 to round out the Bitcoin 2.0  Summer Class of 2014 (Counterparty, Mastercoin, NXT and BitShares).  Each of the four products chose different trades between time to market, technology, and feature sets.  Now we each live with those decisions.  The market will determine which was the best strategy.

Asset exchanges are nice, but that's not what we're most excited about.  (Lots of companies make cars with four wheels.)

The BitShares Exchange Network is a Network of multiple, independent Exchanges, not just one asset exchange on a blockchain.

It's the combination of features that makes centralized exchanges eager to stop having private, stovepipe order books and put them all out there on the BitShares blockchain as one transparent, shared, unhackable order book.

And you can see all the pieces of that attractive package at bitshares.org.

Connecting all the dots is an exercise for the student.

Counterparty - April 2014

NXT - 12 May 2014

Yeah, that's what I meant.
Idiotic, misquoting, missing the point shilling really improves the situation.


Market pegged assets/DACS, to be pedantic.
That's the point: BTS was, once upon a time, focussed on pegged assets and DACS. Seemed sane enough.
So at which moment did BTS decide to focus hype on the fact that they will have a completely open NXT-style exchange, the BEN ?
Why is this so hype-worthy ? Is copying a NXT feature the best that BTS can come up with ?

And, no I don't think that Nxt AE was the very first AE implementation, but I do think that it was the first completely open implementation.
(anyone got exact dates for XCP or MS/Omni, btw,?  NXT AE went live May 2014)
BTS, Counterparty and Mastercoin/Omni all required a certain level of input from their communities/dev teams to issue assets, NXT allows anyone with access to $14 to issue an asset, for better or worse.
