How to Launch a Crypto Currency Legally while Raising Funds

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

Fortunately I have already purchased some 

Just issue a user issued asset on the BitShares blockchain and be done with it.

I would suggest  https://moonstone.io/   for 15% return on your investment.

I hope everyone actually reads the link in OP's post:

You will quickly realize that there is a proposal, put forward by a marketer - not by Stan or any dev, that is being discussed and debated. You will realize what an ignoramus OP is. Is he such an asshole that he wants to shut down debate?

Yes!

The only question is why wouldn't the OP automatically include the alt which has been fourth in market cap and first in innovation month after month?  BTS

Could you be specific about what it is that you want to exchange/trade?

I'd also like to see a stable cryptocurrency (BitUSD, BitGOLD, or BitCNY).

BitUSD is already on Shapeshift.io so it is a natural.

I invest in both silver and gold coins and in bitSILVER and bitGOLD. Both the physical and the crypto assets have properties that make them valuable to my portfolio.

And now there's a third.

Why peg to the dollare when you can peg to silver or gold?

bitSILVER and bitGOLD

I was Mt.Gox'ed once.

Never again.

No more centralized entities for this now wiser fool.

"BitShares will resolve the problems arising from fractional reserve banking, naked shorting, and high-frequency trading manipulation. An equally important advantage of BitShares is that its developers are not simply faceless identities hiding behind anonymity on the internet"

That's just silly. I am not an I3 member, nor have I ever met one. But I have been involved with this project since the very first day of mining PTS (and even before that, when I read the white paper and articles on Let's Talk Bitcoin).

And EVERY change has been debated and has turned out to be to the advantage of my wallet as well. The Larimers are by far the most transparent and honest people in the crypto space. Their integrity shines through every action and decision.

Something entirely different adds an obnoxious odor to your postings, Newmine.

Here's the text:

Many of the core developers are critical to the success of BTS and they are implicitly trusted by everyone who downloads the wallet.

For this reason I would like to suggest that the next release of the BTS wallet set the "default" approval for the following core developers:

Me, Toast, Nathan, Vikram, Valentine, James, Ben, Dan N., Eric F.   

Each of these guys is implicitly trusted and contributing directly to the github source.    This would really help the core team to get and keep the votes necessary without having to worry much about their salary.   Users could always "unvote" them.  

Thoughts?

This is very obviously just a proposal for the community to discuss the pros and cons. OP is spreading FUD for whatever his reasons are.

I have been buying and mining bitcoin since early 2011. I now exchange almost all my bitcoin for bitshares (bitshares.org).

Check it out. It sells itself. 

I wanted to attend the live session, but there was an unannounced time change?

I'm skeptical - but interested.

DPOS is either superior to POW - or it isn't.
