Today I have purchased more BTS, as the stakeholders have collectively decided to fund @billbutler's worker proposal that will fund the improvement of the Bitshares reference wallet. This proposal will now activate tomorrow on Monday, August 14th, 2017. For those who aren't aware, the Bitshares reference wallet is the desktop wallet, and also the wallet that Openledger and Rudex are based off of, amongst others. You can see a list of existing bitshares wallet implementations here. This is a very important step, as a smoother, more user friendly, more performant wallet experience will improve user retention and as a result attract liquidity to the decentralized exchange.
As a celebration, I am going to raffle off my size L Bitshares polo shirt that remains unclaimed from the previous contest (sorry to that winner- I tried to contact you to no avail). All you need to do is reply to this thread mentioning the polo or shirt to enter. I'll announce the winner after this post pays out rewards, and if you've won, you can contact me on Telegram or steemit.chat. Good luck!
Also, I've decided to throw my hat in the ring to be a Bitshares voting proxy, as someone who has always carefully chosen votes by hand for the betterment of the Bitshares network. Currently I have about 4.2 million BTS proxied to me, and will happily vote for those who do not have the time to assess witnesses, committee members, and proposals. To set me as your proxy, simply go to the Account tab, look for the "Voting" menu item, input "robrigo" on the form, and click "Publish Changes" to make it final. Thank you!
BTS has a great future! I'm always buying :D
I hope it is bye-bye bugs, network problems, confusing modes, cluttered asset drawer ++
And hello to modern, slick, confident, reliable workhorse
And a way to neutralise the trading bots - is that a bridge too far?

Yes its great news about the new worker proposal. It was fun voting on it. I have also bought some more BTS. In fact I am buying everyday. Hope I win the t-shirt. :)
You've won it bud!
Congratulations! Robrigo had a huge role in getting Bill's worker proposal funded and I can't think of anything that will bring more value to BTS than a better UI experience. Awesome news!
All I have to say is:
1 About damn time!
And,
2 w000000000t!
Jeez you have a lot of bitshares.
I only have 2054 bts but that is because I don't have much money to use when trading haha. The bitshares wallet is so easy to use and it has a pretty clean UI. Probably on e of my most favourite wallets.
I'll take an entry to win the t-shirt.
Thanks a lot @robrigo! :)
The majority of that 4.2 million BTS is not mine; however people that have entrusted me to vote on their behalf. :)
awesome , Bts is a strong coin , it have great potentiel , i will invest in bts , thank you for support , you have a huge account
I appreciate your posts. Just yesterday I was reviewing Voting and Proxy on the platform and I voted for an improved UI effort.
I am thoroughly enjoying the BTS experience, including voting. However, at times, the platform can be a pain in the bum for those of us not computer centric. Thanks for your offer to act as Provy. Do you reckon it'd be stretchin Proxitality for you to give a brief precis on Steemit of the way you'd vote on Proposals when they eventuate? Cheers
Good idea, I'll write up what I look for as a proxy and post about it.
Hey Rob,
Sure, I'll throw my "hat" in the "ring" for the polo. If I don't win it, can one still be purchased?
Also, I'll switch my proxy to you.
Thanks Thom! Unfortunately, this is the only one of these shirts I know of, they were given out at Inside Bitcoins LV in 2014 by the i3 team. Hope you win the raffle though :)
@robrigo,
Oh I didn't aware about this... and BitShares T-Shirt... feel it's fit for me :D
"Currently I have about 4.2 million BTS proxied to me" - that really impressed me and will follow it too ;)
