Bitshares - State of the Network - 17th October 2017

The Bitshares State of the Network Reports seeks to combine raw data from a wide range of metrics and combine them into meaningful information to identify emerging trends and changes in the Bitshares network.

Observation from this week

This section will highlight any observations made while analysing the data.

  • The Bitshares foundation has put forward a worker proposal to elect a spokesperson on behalf of the Bitshares network. This worker proposal is for $50,000 USD over 15 months and has already been approved by the Bitshares holders. You can find more information about the proposal HERE

  • Billbutler has announce a new version of the Bitshares GUI wallet this week with a brand new portfolio page showing balances, active and open orders in a much cleaner and professional looking UI. There was also a lot of smaller but very useful cosmetic changes this week. You can find his announcement HERE or check out the changes live in the official Bitshares web wallet HERE

  • In addition to the 'Spokesperson' worker proposal which was proposed this week there is another proposal for a 'compliance' work. This worker will focus on compliance but also strategic direction and exposure for the platform. This worker is for $50,000 USD for 15 months consisting of a team of 4 community members. You can find the proposal HERE

  • Asset creation is currently suspended on the network due to a potential issue discovered and being investigated by @abit. You can view the discussion relating to the topic HERE

  • Kevin Messerly is currently running a 5000 BTS giveaway on twitter. To be in for the chance to win view the details on his tweet HERE

  • The Bitshares delisting from Bittrex has been put on hold while further discussions take place. There is no clear answer at the moment and during this time trading of BTS has been disabled on Bittrex. Further evidence of this is suggest by looking at Bittrex's API which has removed references to the other project that were delisted in the same batch but at this time Bitshares is still present.

  • Ronny Boesing (CEO of OpenLedger ApS) has announced the release of their new rebranded website. Visit https://openledger.info to see the new design

  • Bitcoin.com has published an article this week focusing on Bitspark and their strategic decision to change their remittance business from the Bitcoin blockchain to Bitshares. You can find the article HERE

  • @abit has published Bitshares Improvement Proposal (BSIP) #33 Titled 'Refund Create Order Fees Paid in Original Asset on Cancel'. This BSIP proposes a protocol change to prevent fee pool draining from happening, while still keeping a similar "Refund Create Order Fees on Cancel" feature in the system. You can view the BSIP and participate in the discussions HERE

  • Bond On Blockchain is a new project that is seeking to raise funds for their project which will run on the Bitshares network. The crowdfund is KYC/AML compliant so investors will need to verify their identity to get involved. Interesting note, one of the asset classes this company is looking to invest in is the Billion Hero Challenge. You can get more information HERE

  • Discussions of a rebranding from the name Bitshares has been taking place on Telegram and Discord with names being suggested ranging from BTS, DEX, TRADEX, HyperDEX and more. For the time being these are just discussions and a poll of the top 26 vote proxies is being conducted to consider the pros and cons of such a change.

  • @bitspark have released their first fortnightly update for the Zephyr Project. Their plan is to release updates on the Zephyr project every 2 weeks to keep the community informed of their progress. You can find the first update HERE

  • This week’s Bitshares hangout recording has been published and is available HERE

  • Current registered wallets/accounts within the Bitshares network is 441361; an increase of 5810 wallets/accounts since last week

I don't know who keeps selling Bitshares day in and day out, but I read these reports and can not think of a single reason any investor would do anything except buy BTS. It's crazy! Tinfoil hat time, but the only thing I can think of is a competitor trying to keep a lid on Bitshares because it threatens their business model. Hmmmmmm....

Man, just look at that comparison chart - then go look at the market caps of each coin. Does that make any sense whatsoever?

A lot of misinformation about dPoS, especially by not very tech literate people like Vitalik who obviously don't read much about other blockchains.

  1. many don't know about any chain other than top ones like btc or (ew) eth and don't know there are faster options
  2. many don't understand how dpos is decentralized because it's so different. e.g. we have consensus decentralized over 36k bts holders which is more than there are full nodes in eth for example. and it's more obvious of effect on consensus than a arbitrary node. our validators are more decentralized than mining or staking pools as well, and we solved all major issues with PoS.

I updated FAQ today to address some of common questions I hear people make: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1949828.0

So a lot of the selling was madatory selling because of margin calls. As the price falls people have to sell to maintain a margin level. If a large number of people Hodl. And there is a then market and then a bunch of people take out margin and the price starts to fall, eventually some gets a margin call. They have to sell. That causes the next person to sell, and that causes the next person to sell and so on. They fall like dominoes and the market can not absorb the impact. If you even took out a small loan when it was at 30 when it hit 4 you are likely to have a margin call. (or be forced to sell to and pay back that loan before then. Either way. It adds to the selling. This happens regularly in the Stock and futures markets.

Great point you posited.

One word - Betamax.

Totally agree with you John..I've been watching the price action myself like a hawk and every time it gains momentum it gets pushed down..may be whales accumulating at cheap prices...this price is insanely cheap..with companies like Bitspark moving over it just shows how massive this opportunity is..with Bitshares being able to handle the same volume of the Nasdaq and the dirt cheap fees, this is going to be the go to place for institutional money and venture capital, because they can accommodate so many aspects in business, from remittance, banking, payroll and insurance...the list goes on...wait until the truly large investors catch on and wallstreet is able to load up

Benar,,, kalau di pikirkan memang tidak masuk akal......

@steempower Just wanted to let you know that this account is taking your work and making it his own. He just tried to do the same thing to me, but he was caught.

LOL, they even replace @abits name with their own to suggest they discovered and are investigating the asset creation issue :) Thanks for the heads up

Can anyone explain in relatively simple terms what the whole HERO thing is and the Billion Hero Campaign? I've read a bunch of the stuff on their website and still really have no idea what it is.

HERO is a stable crypto which follow the price of the USD + 5% per year.
The billion HERO campaign is a fund in HERO to be dispatch later to ten NGO when the fund will have reach 1 billion USD in value.

Thanks @chrisaiki, not sure why they don't just say that on the website! How will the fund reach $1 billion in value? Do people contribute money to the fund? Is there anything in return for contributing?

They are expecting VIP to contribute to the fund and with the interest the fund will grow by itself. Stan is giving the first million. It is a marketing campaign, try to make the buzz, people may want to participate to "something big". I like this idea very much.

@steempower,
Awaited to read this article! Today you made the week perfect!

Cheers~

Thanks Guru, Cheers mate!

That was a really good read. I notice that the Bitshares' Dex interface really has improved a lot. It's so much easier to interact with and navigate. I think they could leave Bitshares/DEX with the same name. I don't think that's the issue.

Good article, thank for sharing. If there is time to visit my blog, thank you

Chinese ban (Chinese community were largest holders), Bittrex issue and some rumors on top shakeholders holding some marketing campaigns hearted BTS most. However, there are not all fundamental issues for BTS, technically it is a superior coin. However, in current market, hype and publicity matters most (:

Lots of good traction -still very little action

Awesome 1.5 sec Confirmation time...
