not to be a downer, but that intro is so long that by the time it was done my post mortem steemit bot had to post this. :)

all kidding aside: thanks for the post. glad to see movement in getting things done and preparing for the future in regards to eos. will look into proposals, etc. when time allows.

the font percent of the bitshares forum could be increased to 90%. It currently burns the eyes. browser zoom is annoying.

@fuzzy it would be a nice improvement if your audio issues were corrected. to be specific: cracking/popping and the whole audio sounds like it's coming from a flip phone via cell network.

the Google(!!) :) hangouts related quirks may be unavoidable(latency, etc), but has everyone checked for QOS issues on their end too? /rhetorical

also, the bitshares community may consider removing the B word (hint: not built, Bitshares or blockchain.) from "Built using the latest in industry research, BitShares 2.0 offers a stack of financial services including exchange and banking on a blockchain." maybe it's just me, but the home page made me think bitshares was a bankster coin/platform so i ignored it for a while. A little more clarity on the message might be good for new people scouting around for projects to get involved with/coins to buy.

keep up the good work! it will be exciting to see where all of this goes.
