Extract from this weeks Bitshares state of the Network Report

OpenLedger Proposes BitShares 3.0

Asking for people to decide which has highest priority among the following:

  1. Implementing a virtual machine (like Ethereum’s’ Virtual Machine) into Graphene
  2. Implementation of the Atomic Swap mechanism
  3. Creation of Fee Backed Asset

📝 For those of us not up to speed on the technical side of these options, here are some links to help explain what they are and how they will help us on the Bitshares DEX.

  1. Ethereum Virtual Machine Overview
  2. Atomic Swap Function Overview
  3. Fee backed Asset Overview

@taconator, can you or anyone else make multichannel recordings so I can make a nice and clean(er) transcript for you guys? Maybe adding chapters for navigation and a summary? You can see here how it looks.

Asset Creation Disabled By Committee for Several Days to Address a Bug

A bug was identified to occur when paying for the creation of an asset with something other than BTS. Details about the bug and its hypothetical impact (which was never utilized) can be found in the following reports.

Issue
Short-term fix
Intermediate fix and re-activation of Asset Creation

My compliments to the following people:

  • @abit for once again for first identifying a flaw
  • Dev team for coordinating the fix and testing it out on the test network
  • BitShares Committee for quickly implementing the short-term fix to ensure that the bug was not exploited after the initial revelation

I'd like to speak about Bitshares social media marketing for about 10 mins. Specifically twitter facebook and youtube.

It might also be worth adding to this discussion another marketing proposal that is being developed by @ingemkts that is focused on traders and investors: Advertisement proposal for Bitshares (BTS) (Known as The Decentralized Exchange-DEX)

Fees Collected on the BitShares blockchain through September 2017

Suggested duration: 5 to 10 minutes

During the month, 3.21 million BTS were collected for 9.77 million operations (within 3.21 million transactions) on the blockchain. 49% of the operations were due to market order creations, and 42% were due to market order cancellations. However, those operations only generated 2% of the collected fees.

The leading distribution of operational fees paid/collected with BTS were as follows:

Operation Type% of Total BTS
Asset create85%
Account upgrade8%
Account create5%
Limit order create2%
Transfer1%
Mandarin-Language Representative in China

Suggested duration: 5 to 10 minutes

A worker proposal for a Mandarin-language representative is being announced this week. This representative would work with the spokesperson role, that is currently performed by BitShares Foundation, for activities in China. The effort is being assisted by @lzlman.
