Read that in conjunction with Own YOur Identity with Bitshares

Most of you may not be aware that 'Keyhotee' was initially a cornerstone of the Bitshares project. I am excited to see that the idea is getting implemented. This in tandem with the 'vote' and reputation features which will get included will make for a good combo.

Belarus Forex markets bow to BitShares 24/7 free (really low fees) free market currency trading solution which (without any competition at all) should become the most liquid Belarus currency trading platform for at least the next 2 years.

The Bitshares test network, called Devshares, is going to be launched. A fully functional test network will help Bitshares immensely in testing out new codes.

New blog post from BitShares founder, Daniel Larimer (aka bytemaster).

What is BitShares? - Dec 18th
"Answering the question “What is BitShares?” has been one of the most difficult challenges I have faced. BitShares is so many things to different people and there are a thousand different ways of understanding what BitShares is. This post will tell you what BitShares is to me, its founder. Before getting into the long-answer to this question, let me give you the executive summary. BitShares is one of the most important tools that any community can use to secure their freedom; an idea whose time has come. After reading this post I bet you will agree."

Bitshares.tv launched! Check it out, there a few useful videos there already. It has started with an accompanying Bitshares 101 guidebook available from Amazon.

This is a big deal, especially the Bitshares 101 book.  It's a very accessible explanation of Bitcoin, BitShares + crypto 2.0 as a whole.  Everyone in this space should read a copy.

User Issued Asset Upgrades
https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php?topic=11921.msg157114#msg157114

1) You can now specify a required transaction fee (payable in user issued asset) once per transaction that withdraws that asset type.
2) You can now have multi-sig issuers/control over an asset
3) You can now have child asset symbols like child accounts to facilitate trust in a common issuer of related assets.
4) Issuers can now optionally retain complete control over all balances in their asset. (Freeze accounts, etc) Needed for legal compliance.
5) Issuers can now optionally white list public keys that may own/trade the issued asset.

With these powers Gateways can comply with all regulations just like with Ripple.  Companies can issue shares while remaining in full compliance with the law.

BTC38 enables bitCNY deposit - bitCNY now backed by BTC38!
When you deposit bitcny to us, you'll get CNY in your balance.
1000bitcny = 1005 cny
At the start time. each user can only deposit less than 5,000bitcny. total limit is 100,000bitcny at one day.
https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php?topic=12203.0

This is one huge news which has gone relatively unnoticed. Kudos to Btc38 for taking this step; maybe in future they will allow customers to hold BitCNY too and trade directly in the CNY markets, with the added benefit of earning interest on their BitCNYs.
