Well, if you guys want some range time and a visit to Spaceport America, I might be able to find some space(s) on the guest list for the launch, when we finally get a date.
Wow, that is a really cool project!
Brings back many fond memories of times spent at remote test ranges.
(Testing remotes, of course.)

Well, there will either be a whoooshhh, followed by some zoom, and a gentle glide back to Earth......or whoooshhh, followed by a large KABOOM !
Here´s an overview of the project so far:

I feel the need for some kitten action, tbh.
This kind of sums up my day:
But, if anyone (like Crestington
) feels the need for some excitement, there will shortly be a chance to watch NXT zoom into the upper statosphere (or crash spectacularly into the New Mexico desert....)
NXT in Spaaace!
Thought Stan might like this, with the being a rocket scientist and all.
We're currently waiting on FAA permission for the launch, but it should be cleared pretty soon.

Lol, NXT is literally going to the moon. NXT thing you know they are going to let you send transactions to their moonbase so you can buy lunar latte's.
AAACK! We just took heavy air-to-air fire!
No worries. This thread is for sophisticated and erudite puppy lovers.
(But I am pleased to note that there are now more than six BitShares related threads that regularly make the front page here.)
Something for everybody!
I never said the ideas weren't good, I think highly of Bitshares. I was just saying that you should look for some more entertaining ways of presenting your ideas, like PBS meets FOX news.
That is maximally cute (for a cat), I must admit.
But this illustrates the essential problem with cats:
There he is surrounded by chicks and doesn't seem at all happy!

Meanwhile, something that makes me happy is this AWESOME short video from Max Wright
(Author of BitShares 101 - available in Six Languages already).

Max summarizes everything the decentralized community accomplished in the past 50 days.
I especially liked his main point about the next big touchdown being how BitShares and Bitcoin maximally complement each other.
Good stuff!

I think you guys need to get rid of the puppies and go for some more exciting marketing. The puppies look dumb, I actually preferred the old thread with all the meme's of Stan and Bytemaster.
Maybe you could do themed marketing where you base a bunch of your new ideas in terms of the theme.
Remember, you want Crypto to be EXCITING!
Grab some smoke machines and some laser lights and your halfway there.

That's not how BitShares voting works.
Good to hear. Update https://bitshares.org/blog/delegated-proof-of-stake/ please, statements like

Every share can be set to vote either for or against a potential delegate.
are very confusing.Agreed. I had to go do a WTF on that myself.
You can set your defaults to follow the voting slate of some other delegate or group of delegates that you trust rather than picking the full set yourself.
If you do that, then the "thumbs down" icon means, "ignore any recommendations for this candidate".
So, you can toggle the thumb on each candidate between "Thumbs up - add to my custom slate", "Thumbs down - remove this one from my default slate(s)" or un-selected - "do what the default slate(s) I am following recommend".
But all this does is effect how your slate is defined. When you vote, all you can do is add or not add votes to a candidate.
You can't do anything to subtract the approval they have from other voters.

That's not how BitShares voting works.
The only thing that an individual voter can do is indicate which potential candidates are most acceptable to them.
If a candidate ceases to be acceptable, the voter can remove that approval.
That's all.
She has no ability to "down vote" anybody or concentrate negative votes on certain candidates.
There is no such thing as negative votes.
Each candidate runs in his or her own independent election.
Each seeks a high percentage of approval from the voters of all shares.
The 101 candidates with the highest approvals get the jobs.
Theoretically 101 candidates could each receive 100% approval.
In practice, our top delegate currently has about 18% and Delegate 101 has about 8%.

There's a lot more to BitShares than you typically see on any forum thread.
It is very decentralized with a score of independent marketing and technical projects underway in parallel.
If you've wished you could have a one paragraph summary of every activity
and insights about who is doing what, well, now you can.
Here is the first decentralized BitShares newsletter.
Legend has it that it simply wrote itself!

No need to make it any more complicated than that.
I respectfully disagree. You need a more complicated method because otherwise you have a weak spot. An adversary doesn't need to earn credibility to enter top 101. Lowering credibility of the competitors works too. What is especially bad is that the current voting is asymmetrical - you need N units of effort to earn credibility and N/10* units to lower credibility of other candidates because everyone will likely do the same. I didn't analyse this tactics closely but suspect that cooperation of outsiders trying to asperse the winners and take their place is a powerful trick.

Interesting opportunity if you still have a lot of mining equipment looking for something to do.
