Observation from this week

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

  • @stan has released another chapter in the 'Origin of Bitshares' series, This chapter brings us up to date with the release of the Billion Hero Challenge on Independence day; 4th of July 2017. The post also goes on to discuss the goals of the challenge and includes announcements regarding the prize money being locked away as collateral. You can find the latest release in this series HERE

  • @stan has announced on June 10, 2017 the Hero Foundation set aside $1M worth of BitShares (3 Million BTS) at that 33.3 cents per BTS and today those fund have been locked away to be used as collateral in the Billion Hero Challenge. This 3 Million BTS also serves to be the prize money at the end of the Challenge. On successful completion of the Challenge the value of this prize money would have grown 1000x to 1 Billion USD; hence the name 'Billion Hero Challenge'. You can get more details of the prize money and the challenge HERE

  • OXarbitrage (Alfredo) has created an updated worker proposal for core development of the Bitshares Network. This new worker proposal is using the multisig worker mechanism as first created and used by @xeroc (described HERE). You can see the full details of Alfredo's worker proposal HERE

  • @cm-steem has updated his BSIP-019 - 'profit sharing / dividends for Market Pegged Assets (MPA)' and also drafted BSIP-020 - 'profit sharing / dividends for User Issed Assets (UIA)

  • @cm-steem has created a Bitshares-UI Customization Guide which describes methods of creating a customized User Interface for the Bitshares Network - This is a full length post packed with great detail for anyone looking to launch their own front end. Please see full details of this post HERE

  • PoloniEX has a banner suggesting their is issues with the network at the moment despite all other exchanges and the network itself operating fine. There has been no official word from Poloniex (that i am aware of) in regards to the 'issues' that they are having but it has been observed this week that their hot wallet was completely emptied of all funds resulting in delays for users trying to withdraw. Their hot wallet is holding ~ 8 Million BTS at the time of writing but this is still very low for an exchange of their size. The downtrend in their hot wallet holdings came as no surprise (seeing BTS funds flow over to Chinese exchanges) so the fact that they did not withdraw from their cold wallet raises some questions... You can keep an eye on their wallet HERE

  • @fav has released the June statistics for the Bitshares subreddit from reddit.com. The traffic statistics show a massive spike of roughly 500% in traffic for June M/M. You can see the full stats HERE

  • @kencode has released his weekly report with plenty of updates from the team at Bitshares Munich; including Graphenej, C-IPFS, Blockpay, Stealth and Smartcoin Wallet. You can find his report HERE

  • @jademont has created some Bitshares tests / exams. Test your knowledge of the Bitshares network by taking part in the Basic and Intermediate level Bitshares tests.

  • @onceuponatime has pledged to donate $25,000 USD worth of Bitshares, BitUSD, Hero, Steem and Steem Backed Dollars to participants in the 'Gerania Vertical Kilometer Trail Race'.

  • @cob has released a Muse update in relation to their testnet launch, future roadmap and guidance to claim Muse aka NOTEs from the old chain. The new Muse blockchain will be a separate chain to their current chain, there will be a sharedrop date announced and keys will need to be imported into the new chain. They have also advised that Open.Muse being held on the Bitshares network will need to be transferred to the Muse chain before the snapshot occurs. Make sure you read the official announcement and prepare for the launch of the new chain this summer. Announcement can be found HERE

  • @robrigo has put out a warning to anyone who had PPY share-dropped on their BTS accounts (account on the Peerplays blockchain prefixed with 'bts-'). These accounts lack a memo key which is causing problems when depositing your PPY to an exchange as the memos are not properly included in the transactions (memos are used as unique identifiers when using exchange accounts on Graphene). This is resulting in users having to submit support tickets to retrieve their balances at the exchange end. See his full post HERE

  • Cointelegraph has covered the Crypviser exit from Ethereum and migration to Bitshares network. Crypviser is building an encrypted network for social and business communication based on Blockchain.

  • Decent has launched their Network which is operating on a Graphene based platform; at this time i have no knowledge of any connections to Bitshares or other Graphene projects but it is great to see other platforms using the technology to the benefit of all existing and future Graphene based chains. The Decent Network is a content distribution platform that is decentralized, open-source and uses Blockchain technology.
