[BTS] Bitshares #1 Fastest Crypto, Tokens, DEX, ICOs since 2014 (unofficial ಠ_ಠ)

[scaryvirus]

There are some good ideas that you have mentioned but I have to ask.. Why not just make the trading screen emulate Polo ? They have by far the easiest trading section around. You easily scroll and see what all of the alts are doing, nice small tabs (unlike the big ugly ones on the dex). Easily add tools to the trading screen. All the little sliding windows is crap because you can never see what you want. After using for a week or so and figuring it all out I haven't been back. Just put a note in my keepass for my wife to find the BTS there when I die

to me the layout looks identical to poloniex, which is why I'm confused. we're talking about same dex, right? https://bitshares.org/wallet/#/market/OPEN.BTC_CNY

Tools wise you're probably right, but almost everyone uses external charting for trading from my experience.


Also it has to accommodate pretty much infinite trading pairs of every combination unlike limited selection on poloniex so list is larger.

Weird things going on with Poloniex. I got completely off a few weeks ago and it doesn't look like I'm going to have much reason to go back - just the opposite. I hate to badmouth other people, but it is what it is. I've never seen such antagonistic notices before. Very strange.

What's the utility/purpose of the Bitshares coin within the Bitshares decentralized exchange?

Do Bitshares coin holders get the trading fees (are there any?) from the Bitshares decentralized exchange?

Thanks

It's the basis currency for blockchain, like including rewards + fees (although through currency pools you can pay fees with some tokens too)

Bitshares lets you vote and help fund and change the bitshares network through workers (there's stuff on that in original post) or even just select a proxy to vote for you if you are busy.

Bitshares was the first DAC or more commonly now called DAO, before Dash and Ethereum. The entire blockchain works through delegated votes for witnesses as well. http://docs.bitshares.org/bitshares/whatis.html

You can also use BTS as collateral to borrow smart coins like bitCNY or bitUSD into existence which are kept at CNY or USD value through smart contracts, redeemable for that much worth of BTS by settling by anyone in their possession.

There's fixed number of them total as well.

Hope that helps.

I think maybe he is wondering if you receive any kind of dividends from holding BTS, rather than reinvesting BTS into for instance OBITS. At least I wonder about this.
