Bitshares Website Launched!

[G1ng3rBr34dM4n]

I think BitShares X as an investment instrument will prove to be invaluable to situations like what we saw yesterday with massive swings in bitcoin prices.  The ability to store value in crypto assets such as bitUSD, bitGOLD, and many others; that peg prices by a prediction market to the actual assets, will inevitably eliminate the volatility of BTC before price discovery is found.  Which means stability to the BTC market can happen sooner than the mass adoption needed to create a stable price.  THIS is what's going to make BTC investments and holdings stable to the point people will be much more comfortable spending, transacting, and saving - without leaving the crypto ecosystem [vs. having to convert directly to fiat].

I see Sergio Lerner is being highlighted in the March newsletter as a new Invictus consultant, but I don't see him listed in the website Team section. Is he an active contributor to the project yet?

yes but can it run on n-scrypt ? is it asic resistant ? ... copy paste scam clone coin...

Your ignorance shines through (commenting without having first investigated).

Yes! He'll be listed on the website in the next update.

Looks very good. Lots of information there tough. So Bitshares is is a opens source platform kind of like Etherum but instead having one block chain to rule them all you have many specialized(finance,games)  block chains ?

That's exactly right. Daniel Larimer, core developer, takes the economic perspective that we want separate chains as required to minimize overhead expenses.

Now that's a good idea! There's no iron-clad rule saying there only has to be one blockchain.

Yup, it's ancient wisdom really:

Piling every proof-of-work quorum system in the world into one dataset doesn't scale.

Bitcoin and BitDNS can be used separately.  Users shouldn't have to download all of both to use one or the other.  BitDNS users may not want to download everything the next several unrelated networks decide to pile in either.

The networks need to have separate fates.  BitDNS users might be completely liberal about adding any large data features since relatively few domain registrars are needed, while Bitcoin users might get increasingly tyrannical about limiting the size of the chain so it's easy for lots of users and small devices.

This prediction seems to reflect the current political bickering between Bitcoin core developers and Counterparty developers.

In fact, Bitshares DNS is launching soon. Check out this "alpha" video with the lead developer. Bitshares DNS is being designed to prevent name squatting. Lots more info in the DNS section of Bitshares.org

Are bitshares on any exchanges yet? I have not noticed them listed on market cap sites yet...

The website looks very good, I would often go to have a look.

"Initial testing shows that aside from some user interface and RPC updates BitShares XT is very close to being able to launch making the Feb 28th snapshot liquid." - Daniel Larimer, 28th March

Bitshares XT is the official test chain for Bitshares X. Bitshares X is the first Bitshares product to be released. I believe product deployment will accelerate after this, as a lot of the work is currently going to parallel development. Especially:

Dan worked on refactoring the BTS X code into a "shell DAC" which is easily extensible. While he did this I used this new shell to work on BTS DNS. The ease with which I was able to implement an MVP (well, not actually "viable" without tests/a client/CLI/RPC, but still) gives me great confidence that there will be a critical point after which we'll be seeing many new DACs in the same way we see tons of new BTC clones every month. Arlen will be working on the Lotto DAC while documenting the process to make it super easy for other developers to follow. Eric V and possibly another recruit both have networking experience and will be working on the hard parts (from my perspective) of the client which will be used by all DACs.
