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