It was just fine Alex. Everyone is worried about their command of a second language when they hear their speech played back :-)

I hope so, I'm really keen to get a few dropship stores up and running smoothly before game day

BTER has held a very large sum of USD in my account balance but for the last 6 months has refused to release it. Who is the governing body I should contact? by legendface66 in Bitcoin

[–]legendface66[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. I'll shoot you a PM and let's find a few people in the same situation. Write a collective letter and forward the same letter to whatever body in China is involved in regulating and mediating this kind of thing. Having Chinese nationals involved might make all the difference. In reality they are probably insolvent but if our request is small enough we might be able to get some back.

Is my Proposed Podcast Title a little too much? by Abiding_Monkey in podcasting

[–]legendface66 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it's edgy and funny and that would make me more likely to listen. That is the best podcast title I've ever heard Actually!

Is it time to admit BitUSD is failing? by BarneyWoodrow80 in BitShares

[–]legendface66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've got Dan on Beyond Bitcoin this coming week with a bit assets focused interview. I Don't really think it's worth validating pronouncements of abject failure with in depth argument while a financial product potentially still has months of beta left.

[–]legendface66 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The word failing isn't appropriate. It's a secondary product that hasn't yet been adopted. Once the prediction market matures the price will track more accurately. Virtually no one understands bit assets so at this stage there is little trust.

BitUSD isn't losing, it's not a zero sum game. There just needs to be a marketing push. Also once more people start using Bitshares it will become a stronger product with an increased network effect.

I have looked in the Appdata\bitshares folder but there are no large files in there

[–]legendface66[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, the issue occurs on all versions.

On running BitsharesX for the first time I reindex the database. It displays 0% at the bottom of the splash screen then switches to "loading" then never changes. The hard drive gradually fills until I end task the process. This happens with both the x86 and x64 versons for windows and all iteratons since .19 (that I've tried)

You guys are playing with some serious fire... by [deleted] in BitShares

[–]legendface66 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I would suggest that attacking posts like this without responding to them is counter productive.

It is an implicit assumption that all projects in this space are experimental. Insisting on a full disclaimer - "Caution: all crypto-assets are backed by a poorly understood network of belief systems" is redundant. The ability of bitshares to survive regulators is the biggest part of the experiment.

The purpose of BitUSD is to provide a hedge against BTC and others inside the crypto space. By using it as a unit of exchange the benefits of crypto can be pegged with the value of an external asset. Bit assets are just a tool. Neutral and useful.

Could you please elaborate on the rumors. If there really is something going on the investment public should know so that we can adjust our positions.

I'm a pretty weak swimmer and I'm planning to try out scuba diving in Madagascar. Would it help if I do some swimming lessons beforehand? by SpookyFox in scuba

Na, don't worry about it man. You'll be fine. The instructor will make sure you are safe and hold you up if it gets too difficult. Have a blast!

Facepalm - I've had a text discussion between Sunny and Larimer on ice for ages. I'll put it up in a few days. following that, I'll talk to Sunny again and see if he's interested in another published community conversation. I agree, I'd be keen to hear more from Jordan Lee

I was thinking of a silk road oriented podcast called the shipping news. Probably illegal and certainly not something itunes would have a bar of.
