⛒ Is Any Topic Off Limits?
Yes. We reserve the right to learn from the newest trickster trolling steemit consistently searching for way to insert chaos into the equation and devise future strategies for negating these. Naturally if these efforts become ham-fisted attempts at shutting down free speech in honest conversations, the audience will hold us accountable.
But with that said....pretty much anything can be covered--even up to and including current events. However, I personally will only be voting up stories that touch the blockchain in some way shape or form and will be asking the community to downvote absolute Rubbish! ;)
What are Beyondbits and Whaleshares?
Beyondbits and Whaleshares started as a conversations in the BeyondBitcoin hangout series shortly after Steem was launched historically in those very hangouts. It began as "community tokens" or "tag coins" for those who never knew to listen in who may wish to listen to the origins in our BeyondBitcoin Podcast Series. Drop in and listen to them sometime!
These tokens give their hodlers the power to Summon a Whalevote to posts without having to pay for attention. And they are only given to people who Win Contests and do other things of value to the community!
These little hidden gems are held safely just for you. Waiting for the moment when you prove yourself in the arena of contests and hangouts like the whaletank...so if you haven't yet, you should follow @officialfuzzy and watch out for his new contests, or join the Whaleshares Discord where there are a community of Beyondbit Experts!

The Scorum team would love to join this week's Beyondbitcoin bitshares hangout to discuss atomic cross-chain transactions on the Graphene Framework!
Delighted that you can attend to discuss! The following example might be helpful for readers to demonstrate a use case (this example omits the the technicalities and extra steps that are required):
One chain (Chain A) has an asset called Apple. Another chain (Chain B) has an asset called Banana.
Dan has an account on Chain A and B. Nathan also has an account on Chain A and B.
Dan owns 1 Apple on Chain A. Nathan owns 5 Bananas on Chain B. They want to trade.
At the end of the ACCT, Dan will own 5 Bananas on Chain B, and Nathan will own 1 Apple on Chain A.
Items to note:
Excerpt from this weeks Bitshares State of the Network report
BTS being used as collateral for the smartcoin economy has increased by 13.5% this week which brings the total BTS being locked by the network to back smartcoins to a record high of 19.7%.
This week has seen a 55.8% increase in Open orders on the Bitshares DEX!. At the time of writing there is currently a 24 hour volume of over 40 Million USD and last week’s record setting 170 Million USD 24 hour volume is suggesting the liquidity is increasing as adoption grows as more people seek a more transparent and open means of exchange without restrictions that can be imposed on centralized entities.
PoloniEX is reporting issues with their Bitshares wallet... again.. The Bitshares spokesperson has reached out to PoloniEX to offer support if they require assistance, they have also offered direct line of communication in case of any future issues. They are currently awaiting a response.
The BitShares Blockchain Foundation has announced they have started returning excess funds from the Bitshares escrow that has been used to pay worker proposals. They are releasing these funds back to the reserve pool in small chunks to prevent spikes in the weekly statistics.
@apasia.tech has introduced a WordPress WooCommerce Bitshares Gateway Plugin. This is still a work in progress project which @apasia.tech has been focusing on and he has suggested an ETA of about 3 weeks to finish works on the plugin.

Some of the benefits for a trading bot are quoted as being:
Please review the worker proposal from inside of your BitShares wallet.
BitShares Quick Reference Guide
Suggested Duration: 2 to 5 minutes
A very attractive and helpful Quick Reference Guide about BitShares has been prepared by Aaron/Crypto Fielder and Kevin Messerly/Kimchi King. It categorizes various topics about BitShares and how to use it which should be helpful for many users. Links within each category lead to relevant information all over the Internet.
Accounting Report by BitShares Blockchain Foundation
Suggested Duration: 5 to 10 minutes
A detailed 6-month accounting report has been provided by the BitShares Blockchain Foundation (BBF) for various worker proposals that it escrows. The BBF handles workers that are (1) technically paid in BTS, and (2) ultimately paid in bitUSD after valid invoicing by team and conversion of BTS by escrow; excess BTS is later returned to the BTS reserve pool.
Escrow projects include:
BSIP-18 (Black Swan Revival): ~23,000 USD paid
BitShares GUI Team: ~98,000 bitUSD paid
Steemfest Hackathon: ~7,000 bitUSD paid
Infrastructure: Pending
👍 Once again the last hangout and after party was a feast of knowledge and wisdom that went on for hours. Thank you @Intelliguy and @Taconator for the topics of discussion and @SteemPower for the weekly State of the Network report. You are all appreciated!!!
💬 Was great to have the discussion with OpenLedger about the OPEN.EOS / EOS token exchange coming up in June.
I keep reading rumors about EOS keeping a native token on the Bitshares DEX after the ICO locks on June 1st in various EOS Telegram channels - is there any truth to this? or just 100% made up?
As usual this evening...
Bitshares doing it's thing, not breaking a sweat...
