Chairman Stanlin is the "pump group".

Stan, you guys hired a pump group yet?  There's still no activity in the exchanges, esp. at Poloniex since that's where most of the BTS volume is.

You can reply via PM if you don't want to make it public.

That is certainly true, which is why BitShares 2.0 has a built-in referral program.  You get 80% of the lifetime fees generated by everyone you sign up - if you do all the work of getting them going yourself.  There are plenty of people who will split that reward with you if you simply send someone to one of their automatic sign-up "training sites".  Check out OpenLedger.info for example - the first full service exchange to offer its fiat gateways to every other exchange and coin that joins the incorruptible decentralized blockchain based BitShares Exchange Network.

So lots of chances to make money as the system grows just by making sure that your friends find about it and learn to use, even some of its features.  (No one person, including me, uses everything, so don't let its array of features intimidate you.  Just use the ones that suit you and ignore the rest.)

But it's not just one-on-one viral marketing.  Everybody who has a bunch of users or readers already can become their referrer and immediately become a full partner in BitShares - reaping 80% of all the fees they ever pay.   One guy represents a professional engineer's society with tens of thousands of members.  He's drooling about being the one to get them signed up.

Whole exchanges can introduce their customers to trading on the BitShares Exchange Network which will grow to have the combined market depth of all its members.  Got 20,000 traders on your exchange?  Be the one to sign them up and teach them how to use it.  Doesn't even really matter if your customer's are cryptoheads.  Got 100,000 readers of your blog on permaculture?  Sign them up!  Preppers?  Sign them up!

In fact, BitShares has the throughput to host all 600+ coins on coinmarketcap.com (even Bitcoin itself).  So a lot of coins who a looking for that key boost will simply port themselves and all their owners onto the BitShares network and become their referrer. They'll still be their own coin, just accelerated to 3 second transaction times. Instant state-of-the-art real-time coin with all the features you can read about at bitshares.org and instant monetization of their lifetime fees for using your own coin and everyone else's!  

And there are partner's galore!  Here's some of the major announcements that happened this summer:

Indian Summer Announcements

And with six days to go till BitShares 2.0 goes live, I haven't even gotten around to adding the news that another real-time platform based on the same Cryptonomex Graphene technology is launching just 2 weeks later.  This is the PeerTracks Music application riding on the MUSE real-time block chain.

Everything starts out with "zero network effect", even Facebook and the original Apple II computer.  

The key is to get the viral marketing plan right.  We're really excited about this one.

Imo without network effect you are nothing. Someone explained it very good.

I've told my friends about it and they've picked up a handful. I'm monitoring for sure, and made a move. While I'm no expert on this project, My primary issue is the complexity. When people bang on LTC, and not having "innovative" features, I immediately disregard their future opinions. It's primary feature is bolstering stability with confidence of the Bitcoin blockchain technology. Stability and trust are nothing to scoff at, BTS 2.0 is WAAAAYYY more than that and you see how NXT, UNITY, XEM, and ETHER (I respect each of these projects) has responded in market place: volatile. All are more than just a token, it's an attempt at a paradigm shift which may or may not take immediate hold without wider acceptance of token based technology such as BTC / LTC.

So yeah man, it will be an interesting ride. It seems as though it's been extensively tested and I hav listened to lead dev on a couple podcast; seems quite bright and tuned in with the movement. Again, my only caution is that if you don't frequent this forum or REDDIT, the objectives of this project are completely foreign to Joe Six-Pack. But at 2100k sats I think there's a lot room for improvement.  

Hey guys,

Well Bitshares guys are proudly walking around talking about this new thing of theirs. A coin that will have 3 sec blocks and will be able of 1,000 TPS. This will let them essentially compete with Visa!

What do you think about this? Are they up to something or is this compete BS and will never work?

Thanks for your opinions!
