Are bitshares on any exchanges yet? I have not noticed them listed on market cap sites yet...

"Initial testing shows that aside from some user interface and RPC updates BitShares XT is very close to being able to launch making the Feb 28th snapshot liquid." - Daniel Larimer, 28th March

Bitshares XT is the official test chain for Bitshares X. Bitshares X is the first Bitshares product to be released. I believe product deployment will accelerate after this, as a lot of the work is currently going to parallel development. Especially:

Dan worked on refactoring the BTS X code into a "shell DAC" which is easily extensible. While he did this I used this new shell to work on BTS DNS. The ease with which I was able to implement an MVP (well, not actually "viable" without tests/a client/CLI/RPC, but still) gives me great confidence that there will be a critical point after which we'll be seeing many new DACs in the same way we see tons of new BTC clones every month. Arlen will be working on the Lotto DAC while documenting the process to make it super easy for other developers to follow. Eric V and possibly another recruit both have networking experience and will be working on the hard parts (from my perspective) of the client which will be used by all DACs.

Looks very good. Lots of information there tough. So Bitshares is is a opens source platform kind of like Etherum but instead having one block chain to rule them all you have many specialized(finance,games) block chains ?

That's exactly right. Daniel Larimer, core developer, takes the economic perspective that we want separate chains as required to minimize overhead expenses.

Now that's a good idea! There's no iron-clad rule saying there only has to be one blockchain.

Yup, it's ancient wisdom really:

Quote from: satoshi on December 10, 2010, 12:29:28 PM

Piling every proof-of-work quorum system in the world into one dataset doesn't scale.

Bitcoin and BitDNS can be used separately. Users shouldn't have to download all of both to use one or the other. BitDNS users may not want to download everything the next several unrelated networks decide to pile in either.

The networks need to have separate fates. BitDNS users might be completely liberal about adding any large data features since relatively few domain registrars are needed, while Bitcoin users might get increasingly tyrannical about limiting the size of the chain so it's easy for lots of users and small devices.

This prediction seems to reflect the current political bickering between Bitcoin core developers and Counterparty developers.

In fact, Bitshares DNS is launching soon. Check out this "alpha" video with the lead developer. Bitshares DNS is being designed to prevent name squatting. Lots more info in the DNS section of Bitshares.org

I see Sergio Lerner is being highlighted in the March newsletter as a new Invictus consultant, but I don't see him listed in the website Team section. Is he an active contributor to the project yet?

Yes! He'll be listed on the website in the next update.

Your ignorance shines through (commenting without having first investigated).

I think BitShares X as an investment instrument will prove to be invaluable to situations like what we saw yesterday with massive swings in bitcoin prices. The ability to store value in crypto assets such as bitUSD, bitGOLD, and many others; that peg prices by a prediction market to the actual assets, will inevitably eliminate the volatility of BTC before price discovery is found. Which means stability to the BTC market can happen sooner than the mass adoption needed to create a stable price. THIS is what's going to make BTC investments and holdings stable to the point people will be much more comfortable spending, transacting, and saving - without leaving the crypto ecosystem [vs. having to convert directly to fiat].

Nice website! BTW here are few BTS related topic, what's "the one", where all important updates will be anounced?

Good question! Going forward this important update thread will list all the most critical updates, and the official blog will (soon) provide regular important news.

Thanks! Too many threads are making it confusing to monitor the situation

What happens to protoshares now bitshares is available? Will they become worthless coins, or still have some value?

They still have value as PTS holders will get a piece of future DACs that are created, like BitShares DNS, BitShares Music and many other that are in the pipeline being developed. BitShares is just the first of many DACs that will be created.

Check out the newly released march newsletter for more info on this as well.

Bitshares-PTS (used to be called Protoshares) are not meant to be used as currency like Bitcoin. Instead they are meant to be "shares" of future businesses. So say you have 10 Bitshare-PTS you will have at least 10 shares in whatever new decentralized digital company is released in the future. It would be kind of like saying if you own 10 Bitcoins not only do you keep your Bitcoins but you also get 10 Litecoins 10 Mastercoins 10 Dogecoins etc. In other words your wealth just keeps increasing. Check out the forum and the bit shares.org website.
