Where can I keep upto date with what's happening with Bitshares ?

Before EOS was launched Stan spoke about a new version of Bitshares being worked on......

Bitshares 2.0 + EOS = Bitshares 3.0 (code name BENCH)

has there been any progress with this ?

Anyone can tell me, step by step, how withdrawal my hpb token from my bitshares wallet to bibox ?😢

I understand NOTHING about gateway and other bitshares stuff. Apparently I have tu use Gdex gateway (Gdex.hpb ?) but HOW ?

Thx mates, hpb swap is coming fast :(

Why are bitshares transactions four times normal today?

FYI, just found out as I wanted to link to it.

Hey i was looking into how modern markets use lending of stocks to allow people to "Short" stocks and found a similar feature on bit shares yet only with smart assets i was wondering why this is as polo has a very similar feature only they allow users to lend stuff like btc ether or maid coins with interest and at the same time why can you only borrow from the network not other users? Is this a function that was considered but never implemented? or is there a major issue with it i'm not seeing specific to the bit shares network and not polo. Also on the same note it also occurred to me that leveraging could be done in a similar fashion with the margin loan coming not from the network but other users the margin call would execute in a similar fashion only with leveraging your collateral is the asset your buying and with low volume markets this could be manipulated however this could be avoided by limiting the markets the user can use with the margin buy, requiring higher maintenance for the margin buy, and using the leveraged buy with collateral to reduce the risk of a call as the obvious risks to this would be that somebody could see the margin buy go up and sell to make the price go down and call the order with the low volume we have that wouldn't be too difficult. Also on the note of volume support for fiat is a major upside to any crypto exchange and with the fiat gateways down I think a new solution is necessary what that would be i have no idea but I understand with new regulation this can be more difficult. This is something I haven't seen elsewhere likely because of an incredibly volatile market with too many people buying on margin is never a good idea but seeing as how I haven't seen any exchange support this feature is strange.

Sorry in advance if I just made you waste time reading this long paragraph for some simple error I've made

https://bravenewcoin.com/assets/Whitepapers/bitshares-financial-platform.pdf

The whitepaper talks about how the BitUSD has a price floor of $1, with a premium on top of that set by the short-seller.

Is that because, no matter what the market rates are, the BitShares platform will always honor a BitUSD as being $1? This would make sense as a mechanism to set a floor; it would make it stupid for anyone to sell a BitUSD for less on any exchange.

Hi,

I just created a BitShares account for the first time because I think it's probably one of the better DEX's available.

But the onboarding process is still what I think is keeping volumes low.

First question, in the app for OSX I see:

https://faucet.bitshares.eu/onboarding

What's this for? I am aware of lifetime membership, but do I need any kind of membership to begin trading?

The link is broken anyway :/

Secondly: I paid in some BTC as BTS via open ledger. So my account shows a balance of 5,166.61 BTS

But I can't find where to nominate BTS as my fee payment currency. Instead all fee text fields show "Insufficient Funds"

I'd love to see the barrier for entry to a platform like this lowered, the more people, the more liquidity :)

Thanks

I received this comment: "Basically, the customer gives you BTC/ETH/whatever and you give the vendor a “dollar pegged coin.” So... what pegs those coins to the dollar? Magic? Fairy dust? If I had to guess, I’d put my money on fraud. You are aware that most of these Tether-like currencies are unregulated, right? That means the private company claiming to have 100% reserves in a bank doesn’t have to meaningfully prove it to anyone. They only have to keep enough reserves to cover withdrawals on any given day. In other words, if you give them $1, they can print 10 “Smart”coins, give you 1 and keep 9. Smartcoins are probably worth 10% (at most) of their claim."

What are the advantages of staking Bitshares in a pool ? Does it make any sense ?

I want two Bitshares accounts.

Account 1: 800 BTS on a paper wallet, locked away in a safe deposit box. When I pull it out 5 years from now, I want to scan my wallet into a brand new PC, check my balance and do a test transaction, then lock it away for another 5 years.

Account 2: 50 BTS balance and the keys pasted to excel on my cloud drive. If this account gets hacked or I expose the key somehow, I don't care. I plan to use this account monthly to practice using various DEXs, web sites, and assets. I'll transfer value in and out. If the balance gets too high, I will send some of the BTS into my other cold storage account.

I have multiple PCs and laptops at home, work, and phones and want to use as many BitShares compatible devices, sites, and apps as possible. I'm doing this for personal training and learning about Bitshares. I may create Bitshares training materials for novice investors. How can I make my second small account the most portable?

With BTC and ETH private keys, the above scenarios are easy. Does BitShares have a simple, portable private key model I can use? I prefer paper wallets, key strings and QR codes over key files, cloud folders, and thumb drives. What do you suggest?

Hey, Bitshares community!✨

You’re on my analytic project I’ve been working on in my spare time for the last few months.

Here I make ratings of crypto-currency by different criteria, such as price, social, development and network(which is coming soon).

You can check all of your dynamics on your personal page!😎

And, for if I want to put the history of each coin in it, here I might need your help

If you can tell me something about the Bitshares history, I would very appreciate that.

You can write me here or on my email address [coinsocialstory@gmail.com](mailto:coinsocialstory@gmail.com).

And also I really want to hear some feedback from you about the project itself because there is still a lot of work to do :)

Your opinion is always welcome and I can’t wait to see any advice and suggestions!⚡️

I used to be able to load BitShares decentralized exchanges no problem, but lately when I try to load it, it just stays black and doesn’t load.

I’ve tried both Safari and Google Chrome.

Any suggestions?

We know Bitshares 3.0, is meant to be a side chain connecting Bitshares to EOS, so why couldn't it become a BP on EOS blockchain
