Thanks for viewing :)
I value your feedback.
Is there something more you would like me to track in these reports? or do you have some information for the next BSoTN report? please let me know in the comments, on steemit.chat, in the 'BitsharesDEX' Telegram group or every Friday in the the BeyondBitcoin Hangouts.
I hope you enjoyed this report! :)
Wow! It looks like Bitshares is thriving even without Dan.
We sure do have a lot of talented people working of different aspects of the platform and businesses based on the Bitshares.
I'm sure we would all love @dantheman to grace us with his presence again; but for the mean time we have @stan and a very passionate community.
fantastic as always. thanks
Thanks for the comment and the kind words Jonny, happy to hear you are enjoying the reports :)
It reminds of waiting for the Sunday paper every week. Great job.
I try to be consistent with my timing so; don't sit waiting at the mailbox for hours on end. I try my hardest to post at 2:30-3:30pm UTC time every Tuesday.
Thanks for the kind words and i hope i deliver more positive news than the stories in your Sunday paper :)
It seems that the "RP Accumulated fees" are always 26k, at least on the last 5 repports. Is that a coincidence ?
These are the fee collected on the network right ?
It seems oddly stable.
Hi Glitterfart,
Great to see you are really paying attention and digging into the details, A+;
I have noticed that this metric moves slow also and at some stages even reduces, i am getting this data from crpytofresh so it is possible this i not being updated correctly. I think the label i have given it is misleading; i will change this going forward; thank you. This tracks the fees coming from smartcoins fees.
Please see chart below showing data for the last 18 weeks:
Please see the description of this metric from crpytofresh
Accumulated fees: 25,993 BTS
The approximate value, in BTS, of all accumulated SmartCoin fees, shown in the table at the bottom of this page.
It's sad but indeed, cryptofresh is down way to often.
BitShares community is looking to resolve the problem or create another explorer. Meanwhile, you may have some of your data repeating it self when CF freezes.
Great job as aslways, keep it on. Cheers !
Cheers man, Appreciate your attention and thanks for the comment.
I am looking forward to the day i can write that CF is open source :)
I just wanted to say that I have noticed your support on here, over the last while and I am very appreciative @glitterfart.
Thanks a lot.

Are you working with Steempower on that weekly repport ?
I like to support any effort toward a better understanding of BitShares to the world. Nobody seems to realize that there is a beautiful platform out there aiming to free people from banks and governments, protect their wealth and allow trade freely and anonimously. The world has to wake up and BitShares is a beautiful step in this direction.
Hi there @glitterfart
Are you replying to me or someone else? I was not sure here.
TY again for your votes and support here and there, I do appreciate it.
Have a good day!!

Want to learn all I can about bitshares. I'm on it :)
There is plenty to learn but it is an awesome platform!!. I recommend jumping on the platform via the bitshares light client at bitshares.org or webwallet if yoy prefer at bitshares.openledger.info if you have not already seen the interface.. new users are always blown away. And then check out the history of the platform as told by @stan to understand how we got to where we are; its a great series you can find the first chapters at https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php?topic=14019.0 then the rest of the story thus far is posted on steem. Btw BitaharesDEX telegram chat is always active 24/7 so feel free to join us there :)
Thank you for that :)
Fantastic!! Every day more happy :)
Good job!!
Thanks, Keep smiling :)
The TASKMANAGER:OPEN.STEEM buyback was quietly executed last night. 900 OPEN:STEEM was spent. Additional TASKMANAGER bought by me via various assets was also reserved for a total of 525 TASKMANAGER burned (reserved).
Will do an announcement post when I can get on a trusted desktop or back to my own. This laptop overheats in minutes lagging the simplest of tasks.
Great work!, how regular is the buy back operation so i can keep and eye out for it next time?
Monthly atm, I'll let you know next time if I remember.
