I would like to propose a topic. I will likely not be able to attend, but please read my proposal, and then separately discuss the three last points.
Casual users of the DEX bump into lots of inactive markets with wide spreads and thin orderbooks. Some market's don't exist. The DEX also appears complex. These three aspects scare off people who are near-converts. After all, if they want to see what the DEX is like, they are already interested - and would likely stay if we provided what they need. Bare potential isn't enough.
We need less complexity and liquid, deep markets. Both of these can be achieved sooner by doing some painful pruning, and focusing most of our efforts on bitUSD and bitCNY. We should hide the BTS, BTC and bitBTC tabs and direct users straight to the bitUSD markets, and make sure the markets are awesome there. The arguments for bitUSD are: 1) USD is familiar and stable, 2) MPA:s lock collateral and 3) MPA:s are a unique selling point.
If we work together in a focused way, we WILL succeed in what we set as our goal. If we all just solo-perform without clear short-term goals, we will stagnate. So actually I would like to emphasize - not so much on which base-asset to focus on - but whether we want to give up some personal freedom and work in concert. Therefore, only when it is clear that we want to submit to a common cause and commit to cooperation, is it worth discussing what to focus on. A goal without action is just a dream.
If there are no compelling arguments against focusing and pruning, we should all submit to the agreement and act accordingly. I know this is easy for me, with only some personal preferences, but really hard for people with businesses on top of Bitshares. However even these people can find ways to support a mutual agreement like this - to the benefit of us all.
So please discuss these points separately in order:
I don't want to propose any specific action at this point. I hope this isn't already too much from someone as unimportant as me.
I will be very excited to listen to the discussion afterwards! I will commit to act on whatever you agree on in the hangout - unless it's inaction. And Thank You! I am priviliged to be a tiny part of this collection of amazing people!
at what stage are proposals on our Roadmap with priority 1
and what are arguments against it.I would like to know, is there are any new ideas on topic of increasing liquidity eg. https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php/topic,23706.msg302068.html#msg302068
what are arguments against next chronos WORKER?
what we need to improve in the GUI to start a new promotional campaigns financed by WORKER (like Bitshares TV on Youtube)
Slightly offtopic but do you happen to recall the name of someone who was there yesterday? The name started with @ and then I believe a lowercase i. I promised I'd contact them but I didn't save their contact details and somehow their name has escaped my memory.
