You guys keep humming your song, but all I have to if Bitshares wasn't garbage, it's value wouldn't just be a constantly decline tell yourself whatever you want to hear to make yourselves feel better about your investment
It's funny you guys even mention cryptofresh, some no name Ruby developer made a block explorer better then / before the official team even made one that's worth using... what a joke.
Man, bishares didnt run away with peoples money wasnt hacked even, this in 3 years.....what survives in crypto soace 3 years n remains strong like a rock? Almost none....
Price is not there? Right, it happens in all market, the good thing its a bargain right now in crypto space for the size, reputation, tech, expertise, experience, community, network effect, volume, china users
Just my 2bts
I actually bought some Bitshares the other day but decided to sell them off once I read more into the Bitshares community. I'm not too sure who's really leading the Bitshares platform at the moment and i'm not exactly comfortable with that. Perhaps I did not do that much research into it and you can assist with clarifying? Just feels at the moment, it's just the Bitshares community holding it up. Whereas, in other Cryptos, e.g ETH has Vitalik or the ETH Foundation, SIA has Taek, etc.
If you can assist me with identifying who are the core members of Bitshares, that would be great. Am trying to find the roadmap for it as well but can't really seem to locate any.
It's still the fastest and cheapest blockchain around...

At this point, BitShares has moved beyond a single leader, which IMO is a good thing.
There are many groups actively developing and promoting BitShares in different ways:
SVK and xeroc develop and support tools for the users (web wallets, python api tools, docs, etc).
BitShares Munich group (led by Chris and Kencode) develop and support an android/ios mobile wallet. They also are integrating BitShares into point-of-sales systems. They've also expressed plans to update the web wallet to support stealth transactions (blinded and stealth transactions are currently only supported in the command-line interface wallet).
OpenLedger, led by Ronny, supports a number of gateways for selling popular crypto and fiat assets on the decentralized exchange and they are constantly adding new ones.
Roadscape develops and supports the block explorer,
www.cryptofresh.com. Transwiser provides a gateway for CNY and a couple of cryptocurrencies as well.
BlockTrades.us (my company) runs a shapeshift-like service that supports popular cryptocurrencies. We manage a "blockchain maintenance worker" that adds new features at the blockchain layer and we also make fixes when necessary (I'm happy to say there haven't been any significant bugs at this level for quite a while). We're currently working on adding a feature to allow UIAs (user-issued assets) to pay "dividends" to their holders. We've also hired a new web guy to improve the web wallet in areas of most interest to us (i.e. bridge functionality and gateways) and I'm in the process of hiring another C++ guy now.
There's also a couple of other groups working on mobile wallets and fiat-tracking assets for several different countries.
Cryptonomex, led by Stan, still works tirelessly to promote BitShares and is constantly seeking new partners to join our ecosystem.
Please note this is by no means a complete list of the groups working to build up the BitShares ecosystem, this is just some of the ones I know reasonably well.
