I have a question about the attempt to peg to the dollar. The dollar isn't going to be the world reserve for very much longer, wouldn't it be better to peg to the value of something tangible and limited in quantity and has a low constant rate of increase like world gold supply. Pegging to a bankrupt fiat currency thats about to deflate or hyper inflate and die ether way will hinder this project. I would suggest not having a peg because they aren't sustainable. the swiss franc broke its peg tot he euro and made a mess, when china unpegs from the dollar watch out. pegs can look like good ideas but the stress of the markets will break them and that is always messy. bay should be allowed to float and compete along all currencies, the market, smart contracts and features will be its value, volatile at times but necessary because we are volatile creatures.
Happy Bank Running

Bitbay and blackcoin, the two coins are Dzimbeck participate in the development of the coin, the coin is very good, but the two coins are lack of marketing. Will not be Dzimbeck or the team lack of contacts?
Do not attach importance to marketing, like people will be disappointed and give up.
Do not attach importance to marketing, like people will be disappointed and give up.
We absolutely do not lack contacts in marketing, we are simply working on things and are really not ready for a big marketing push yet. The client is in beta, it needs work on templates and UI, and is still being tested to make sure everything is working in all situations for everyone.
Hence, it is not the time for a big marketing push, it is time to spread rumours about the great things being worked on. Once client is out of beta, and everything is 100% ready, then we will bring out the big guns and get this promoted everywhere.
Be aware that larger media outlets are not interested in reporting on unfinished work that people cannot properly use yet.
And remember, true marketing is creating a product that the market wants, not pushing just anything down its throat!
I dont agree with this entirely, the markets have been teseted extensively and there is definitely a lack of marketing in both Blackcoin and Bitbay. Although I do agree that the marketing push is going to be much stronger once the templates and other things are finished. Forget rumors, there is no marketing. Also, considering that we are the only coin with decentralized markets, it doesnt make sense to give other coins time to catch up. At a minimum everyone should know about it even though there is more to do. Also, assume that we are waiting for a marketing push. Ok so who is designing the materials for that? What about advertisements, banners, diagrams, writeups etc? So many materials to prepare why not do it in advance?

So just a noob question as I just got into BitBay. Why can't I have the marketplace and my wallet open at the same time? It gives me an error message. Can I fix this using different ports for each one? IF there is a fix please fill me in. Thanks!!
It can be fixed by changing the port but we will wait until its made obsolete.

There's no fix for it that I know of. It's because both wallet and client contacting theBitBay daemon (bitbayd.exe) gives a conflict.When staking has been implemented to the marketplace client, the QT wallets will become obsolete anyway.

It would be best to let David & Team,
Put a list of tasks together for marketing & promotion.
Then we can volunteer and they select qualified members for the task.
Since David is very busy it would be wise to assign some kind of manager who reports weekly to David. David on his hand will report to him/her regarding updates etc.
A bigger Bitbay team would help us a lot, since we have more resources and reach.

We welcome anyone who wants to help in any of the many ways needed to make this project succeed. We are already pretty organised on slack and encourage anyone to join us there so we can join efforts. Just send us a PM and we'll get you on there!
On that note, we could really do with finding good mathematicians and macro-economists to discuss some interesting things we are working on, so if any of you out there qualify, get in touch

We normally organize all of these things on slack. A note to anyone who wants to chip in and help promote should request to get on slack so we can all coordinate/communicate
We can always organize bounties of course too.

Very quiet.
Since the smart contracts is almost ready, wouldn't it be a great idea to start looking for people to do some marketing?
Well volunteered! :-) what do you suggest?

Is there a step by step video yet for creating contracts for selling in the market? I was just about to start posting a few things and I have just a few questions. One is I realize all the templates are not done. So I create a contract under make an offer, add description price etc. Where do I send it to? How do I get it to go to the market place? None of the buttons work to barter or sell something on the home tab yet, so I assume I am just missing what goes in the Send to field. Any guidance would be helpful. Thanks!
Actually the way to do it, is to click "custom contract" and it will fill out the market address automatically. The other way is to select "custom" from the dropdown box in the markets tab before posting and post it. Its the other templates that dont work. Instant refund isnt necessary but you should fill out all the other fields. When clicking custom it will fill out the market address let me know if that doesnt fill out. It will also ask you if you want counter-offers. The counter offer system is similar to bidding of course. And for certain auction style contracts, i might have it say place bid instead of counter.
Automatically accept is another option it will give you and that basically would be for either pre-screening bidders or disable it so you can accept multiple offers on the same contract.
So basically "custom" is the only template available and the rest will come soon and the others will be much more friendly. i will try to get more videos in the video library when everything is totally finished. Or maybe the community will want to make some.
I did one contract for a Xbox 360 Kinect Sensor. So far its in my pending offers. If you see it could you check that its correct? I think I did it right. Thanks! Also I see there is conversion to USD on the main tab for my total but can that also work in the amount within each contract?
In fact, it can. If you put a $ in front of the amounts when typing it will convert from USD to Bitbay automatically based on the current exchange rate. Of course it confirms the rate with you first. Let me know if it does that for you im not sure what i included in the last update. I will boot up Bitbay, everyone here should be able to see your order.
The markets are sort of empty for now, all the active orders were sold and i know a few expired like the webcam(unless that was also sold).
When i finish the templates i will add automatic reposting in the settings so orders can stay alive more than 2 days. Lots to do, then next update will be significant. The next one is all about user friendliness, the program will handle as much as possible for you so no need to think about deposit levels it will make those recommendations.
Hmm... i noticed an amusing bug. Since when you posted your offer, you switched the template in the dropdown box in the markets to "Sell something" after you already clicked on "custom". Since that template wasnt activate yet the market wont be able to accept it. Just use "custom" and when posting dont switch it.
Yes that is what the templates are going to do. It will be n00b friendly. I'm trying to make it "grandma" friendly but we will see. Some grandmothers still dont know how to turn on a laptop. lol
Awesomeness! Please forgive me, I still haven't tried the joint account yet with my brother. I thought I was going to have a free weekend but my wifey told me otherwise. Moving is a bitch! Still been slowly digesting the client's "Help" "documentation" file so I can prepare to make a joint account. This stuff is so amazing. The possibilities are endless!
