Not sure why the authors said we were only the fourth most popular chain.
Great Grandma Larimer assures me we are the most popular.

Who are you gonna believe anyway? Cointelegraph or her?

Anyway, here's an article with actual content!

I enjoy BitShares, but why in the world did it have to be Amanda Johnson that decided to write this article Sad

Really? You don't own a single BitShare?

This is a friendly reminder to all Bitshares holders that you are paying Stan to post dog pictures to this ridiculous thread. Good investment. Stan maybe when you're done milking this Bitshares scam for all it's worth you can get a job with the Doges.

For the sake of completeness to this "historically significant" archival thread, I'll post this here too.

When you hold BitShares, this is your community:

Lots of promising projects, worth to at least check it out

"Perhaps the most exciting update I have for the BitShares community is in regards to Follow
My Vote’s recent visit to Oslo, Norway. As the Founder and CEO of Follow My Vote, I was
invited overseas to attend a national meeting for the Pirate Party of Norway. Members of the
Pirate Party had recently learned about the verifiable online voting platform we are
developing in partnership with BitShares and wanted to learn more about it first hand."

"DACx (Delegate: dacx.baozou) has been a main focus in the Chinese community for a long
time for its crowd-funding platform using the BitShares blockchain. The business model was
reported on city wide TV program in Shanghai last week. Some people are even stockpiling
bitCNY in order to participate in the crowd-funding projects to come on DACx"

That's just some of the interesting stuff we have happening atm!

“If we do BitShares right, users will use it without even knowing they’re using it. BitShares will be like FDIC insured, that’s the kind of approach that will get the most adoption, because you don’t want to have just one thing. And it also encourages wider adoption if you have many different companies do it, and it’s seen as a neutral platform, versus BitShares being the company that’s trying to make all of the money and trying to compete with everyone else. We should allow everyone to come in [and] use BitShares. BitShares [would] be a neutral platform, utility if you will, that provides trust free settlement of orders and contracts.”

- Daniel Larimer

^^^^^ THIS.. I recall listening and when he said that I was like.. YEEEES! That's spot on the direction that needs to be taken. +5%

By the way, BunkerShares just launched its presale campaign... another business using the BitShares platform.

EDIT:

BitShares developers have not done any integration with TOR.
No reason why someone couldn't though...

From BitShares Developer Nathan:

Quote

I haven't attempted to connect BTS through TOR, but in theory it should work fine. Maybe try torify?

As to a bootstrap download, there's no official one but I have a personal one at https://nathanhourt.com/raw_chain.tar.xz
Unpack it into $DATA_DIR/chain/ and then open the client. It will still have to reindex, but it should only need to sync the last day or so. If connecting through TOR, this should be much, much faster.

Two questions:
1- can bitshares client connect through TOR, if so how?
2- is there a bootstrap download

thanks

Peer to Peer Road Trip Successfully Completed

Quote from: Chimel on June 11, 2011, 01:30:05 PM

Having driven over 4400 miles in 24 days,
while conducting over 13 interviews with community members and core devs in 7 states,
I can definitely say it was worth every mile!

It was a long and inspiring journey!
We learned so much on this trip, and captured some really great footage along the way.
