RE: Bitshares GUI Release v2.0171205
send your Bitcoin/Litecoin to a newly created wallet at https://wallet.bitshares.org
Then buy Bitshares on the exchange built into: https://wallet.bitshares.org
Both of these can be accessed from the menu at the right top corner.
when you send BTC to your wallet in bitshares using the blocktrades bridge it automatically buys BTS with your BTC - what is the benefit of your method above cheers ?
You can set a low buy order to receive more Bitshares. That is if it executes before Bitshares rises in value vs. Bitcoin. Using the blocktrades must make a market buy order at the current sell price which might be much higher than placing a buy order right above highest current buy order.
ok that makese perfect sense ! so to send BTC but buy BTS later do you choose Gateway - OpenLedger instead of Blocktrades ?
That is correct.
