Observation from this week

This section will highlight any observations made while analysing the data.

  • The Bitshares foundation has release an announcement this week announcing that Bitshares (BTS) has been listed on the 'Binance Exchange'. You can see the announcement HERE or trade the market HERE

  • @billbutler has announced the release of a new version of the Bitshares reference wallet (v2.0.171121). This sprint has had 25 items closed by 8 separate developer who are being paid by the Bitshares blockchain as part of the Bitshares-GUI worker proposal. This release has seen the introduction of a 24 hour % change field in the portfolio page as well as a fully rewritten currency bridge provided by Blocktrades. This bridge allows a simple interface for new users to buy BTS with other supported currencies without the need to involve a centralized exchange. Find the full details from this release HERE

  • Bitspark.io CEO George Harrap talks with Ashe Whitener about why they are switching their established remittance business from Bitcoin to Bitshares. This is a great interview that really shows the value of Bitshares and Market Pegged Assets to a business which requires the ability to transfer money from one local currency to another without the need to prefund bank accounts all around the world. The Bitshares network is allowing this business to expand globally for without the price tag. You can find more details of the interview HERE

  • @Michaelx Taggart has spoken at the Latin American Blockchain Forum earlier this month. His 2x 45 minute sessions covered Bitshares, Steem and EOS and were spread out over 2 days with an audience including University students, investors, bankers and government officials. Sadly the videos have not been made public yet but i will share them as soon as possible.

  • @Dan Larimer has written a great article defending Delegated Proof of Stake in particular the 'delegated' nature of the blockchains using DPOS and the claim that such technologies create overloads. The comparisons are made against DPOS on POW and it is definitely well worth the read. You can find the article HERE

  • PoloniEX's Bitshares wallet still disabled. Annemieke Dirkes reached out to PoloniEX's Tristan D'Agosta but at this stage the reason for the wallet being disabled are still unknown. See the announcement from the Bitshares Foundation HERE

  • Discussions between the Bitshares Foundation, Bittrex and their legal counsel have concluded and the Bitshares Foundation is now waiting for the final results and is hopeful to be able to share the statement with the community soon. More details HERE

  • @ash has managed to take ownership of the 'BTSX' subreddit. He thought that it might be useful option if we decide to rebrand in the future. You can find more details HERE

  • The Bitspark team has released their 3rd update in the Zephyr series with continued development of the Sendy UI in progress, IBAN for Pakistan, Zendesk Integration, upcoming announcements at IMTC (International Money Transfer & Payments Conferences) as well as a potential new enterprise customer in early discussions. Full details and more HERE

  • The Bitshares committee members have voted to change the force settlement rate of BitShares bitCNY from current 99% down to 95%. The forced settlement option parameter will now look to cover margin called positions deeper in the order books. You can find more information and the discussions leading up to the change HERE

  • @Stan Larimer and Dylan Howard have done an interview with Kerry Cassidy from Project Camelot. The interview covers a wide range of topics and despite only being a few days old has already attracted over 7000 views. You can get more details and watch the interview HERE

  • Last weeks Bitshares hangout ran into some trouble with the record. The following statement has been made in response. 'Due to a recording bot malfunction during our new hangouts, the recording was lost. We will work hard to ensure this does not happen again and we apologize for the inconvenience. We also greatly appreciate your patience in the matter and look forward to seeing you next week!'

  • Current registered wallets/accounts within the Bitshares network is 468796; an increase of 6905 wallets/accounts since last week
