Topic: [ANN] BitShares 2.0 - page 42. (Read 153028 times)

This video was made with the help of the greatest word wizard of BitShares, CryptoPrometheus, and our latest BitShares freelancer who is now accepting bitUSD, Thekool1s.

This video took a few days to get right, but working with Thekool1s was an absolute pleasure. He had to make several edits to get it right, but he never complained, always eager to make sure it was done right. He showed he cared about making it a great video, and wouldn't stop until it was just right.

I highly recommend if you are considering getting a video like this done to contact him. You can see his offer posting here: https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php/topic,17033

Feel free to thumb-up our video on Youtube if you agree.

Leaning forward as if to tell me a secret, Lyford went on, “But that wasn’t their killer business model at all!  Sure, they are a stand-alone decentralized exchange on a blockchain that you can interact with from your own wallet just like Bitcoin, but that was just their prototype demo.

This year they are upgrading to an industrial strength platform that can handle every transaction in the whole crypto industry with enough bandwidth left over to host everything Visa is doing as well!  And their transactions verify in 1 second not 1 hour.”

Why do they need that kind of bandwidth? 

“Because they are offering their “Smartchain” as a safe, level playing field for use by the whole industry.  It can serve as backbone network to all the exchanges as a way for them to trade with and against each other.  Instead of keeping their order books in a dark, closed, isolated, hackable stovepipe, they can put them all out there in the transparent open where all their combined customers can trade against all their combined assets!”

He sat back as if he had just explained The Universe and Everything.

“Don’t you see,” he went on, “With shared order books we have deeper markets, tighter spreads, and greater liquidity.  And since our customers keep their own keys while trading on this network we can’t get hacked!  Not only that, with BitShares easy to use hierarchical multi-sig capabilities, even our customers can’t get hacked.”

Agreed, that was eloquent. +5%

i have one question, i had several balances of the former PTS, AGS and imported the keys some time ago into the new bts client.
when will i see the imported balances "official" in the bts client and is there a console command to verify what kind of balances will pop-up in the future?

The BitShares Blockchain now has a whole new purpose.

Not only is it a second generation coin containing a decentralized exchange that produces smart-currency products...
Now it's also a transparent inter-company network letting exchanges give their customers and assets trading access to customers and assets on other exchanges.


Here's the details about why this is revolutionary:


Yeah, but it will never happen, right?

Not so fast! Check out this week's Big BitShares Announcement!

I don't expect end-users to do such thorough research at all.
The referral program and secure SmartCoin banking services will attract them.

This information is to attract businesses to build on top of bts and for investors to see the potential before 2.0 is released. If all this was easy to understand then many of us would not be in the position we are in now.
Nothing is free - extensive research is the cost to feel comfortable betting big on cutting edge technology.

I think UIAs are going to bring in the most customers. Shopping chains will issue discount coupons, gaming services will issue tokens to enhance the experience and innumerable other uses will get their attention.

BTS will capture customers from where they are already comfortable and improve their life - not persuade them to understand crypto.

DPOS 2.0 solves so many of the problems in crypto that its almost too good to be true.
Can't wait!

Hello Everyone,

Here's two links to the whole Monday Special Mumble DEV Chat session with Bytemaster announcing the new BitShares 2.0
This was a 2hr Hangout, so I've broken it down into two 1hr segments.
Hope you enjoy!

Heh, I remember as a kid hearing my mother hum the jingle to this famous ad as she did the laundry:



Funny, I don't remember her ever telling my dad that

1.  "The tensile strength of this soap powder far exceeds that of dirt."
2.  "This detergent's oder is far more powerful than the smell of your work socks."
3.  "Did you know that Ajax can do the same thing as Atlas -- without shrugging?"

So, from nearly sixty years of training in front of the old boob tube, I've become an expert a recognizing the purpose of a good advertising slogan.

If you can get people to ask, "Oh really?  In what way exactly is Ajax stronger than dirt?", then you have solved half the marketing battle.

So, if we can get the ordinary, non-crypto-aware consumer to ask a similar question, "Oh really, In what way exactly is BitShares safer than a Swiss Bank?" than we will have done our marketing job.

So, I would appreciate it if you would continue to complain everywhere you can about my favorite marketing slogan.  I'd like to see everyone's mother humming that jingle on the way to collect her yield on her unconfiscatable, unrehypothicatable, un-bail-in-able, uninflatable and unbetrayable savings.

I'm not surprised.  You're the calibre of individual they seem to draw.

The actual quote on bitshares.org was "Better than a Swiss bank account". It was there for a quite a while.
