BitShares Hangout #39 - 2017-09-23 - Sat @100PM UTC - OpenSource Agenda [Beyondbit Payouts Powered by SP!]
BitShares Hangouts Speakers and Worker Proposals Earn Beyondbits for Participating!
Notice: Beyondbit Payouts are BASED ON POST PAYOUTS and are sent After Final Payouts for this post are Received!
"Join weekly to speak with founding community members of the BitShares Enterprise Dex about history and current events in Cryptocurrency and earn some free BitShares Tokens!" ~officialfuzzy
Hangout Format:
This will go up at least 4 days before the BitShares Hangout. BitShares community members who post subjects to cover and bring topics of discussion are asked to do so in response to this post first. Worker Proposals are a Chief Focus in these hangouts, but other topics and projects are welcome to join. @officialfuzzy can finally pay people who have supported this powerful cryptocurrency for the past 4 years since its birth and evolution. So reply below with valuable topics, updates, info we should cover and earn upvotes from in this thread and earn a special bonus if yours are chosen!
How Much Time Per Topic?
Hangouts will be at least 45 minutes long, but depending on attendance and projects/topics to be covered may last up to 60 minutes. Given this, we will try to stay with 5-6 core topics and will fit in others where possible.
What do we Earn for Actively Participating?
Those who attend will each earn from a pool of bitshares that will be purchased with earnings from this post. They will then be given directly to you via our new guestbook that we are testing.
Fuzzy will be giving Beyondbits to community founders who attend this weekly hangout to give their own unique perspectives and expert commentary. He will also be giving them to people who give topics and information we choose to use in our hangout!
So make sure you get a BitShares Wallet!
And let's not forget...you get SP through upvoting quality information and content worth sharing with the top minds in crypto across the graphene ecosystem!
Is any topic off Limits?
Yes. We reserve the right to learn from the newest trickster trolling steemit consistently searching for way to insert chaos into the equation and devise future strategies for negating these. Naturally if these efforts become ham-fisted attempts at shutting down free speech in honest conversations, the audience will hold us accountable.
But with that said....pretty much anything can be covered--even up to and including current events. However, I personally will only be voting up stories that touch the blockchain in some way shape or form and will be asking the community to downvote absolute Rubbish! ;)
Listen to Last Week's Lightly Edited Hangout

Extract from this weeks Bitshares State of the Network report
Bitshares has broken it old record by achieving 920,000 Operations in 1 day! Which gives it a 24 hour average of 10.64 Operations per second.
The Bitshares TESTNET has successfully hardforked. The hardfork includes BSIP-18 and some minor consensus upgrades.
A new version of the Bitshares reference wallet (light client) has been released this week (version 2.0.170915).
BitSilver has been affected by a global settlement event which has prevented the smartcoin from being borrowed into existence. Current supply is still trading as normal but no new BitSilver smartcoins can be created at this time; BSIP-18 to the rescue.
The BitUniverse team have released an announcement today open sourcing their new Bitshares Wallet and Trade mobile application which is currently available on the google playstore.
I want a soot, to talk about plans of our RuDEX team, @blockchained witness, and whatnot. Spoiler: Announcement of our STEEM gateway will be made. ;-)
Hi Fuzzy,
It would be great if Bitspark could introduce Zephyr to the community in the Whaletank hangout this weekend.
Project/Topic Name/News Piece: Project Zephyr
Relevant Steemit Tag? Zephyr by @bitspark
Appropriate links to share? https://zephyr.bitspark.io/ and see our recent conclusion to our 3 part blog on the topic at https://blog.bitspark.io/pt-3-bitspark-launches-zephyr-token-sale-on-bitshares/
Steemit and/or Mumble account name of Representative/Speaker: Steemit @bitspark and the speaker will be George Harrap, CEO and Co-Founder of Bitspark Limited Hong Kong.
How should we Introduce you/your project/your news coverage?
Zephyr is a reward token for the Bitspark remittance network enabling users to be rewarded every time they send and receive cash globally. Bitspark has designed Zephyr as a financial incentive for users to undertake actions which lead to the growth of the Bitspark network ensuring money transfer businesses can grow their business without the cost impost of bank de-risking.
Bitspark is a pioneer in the world of Bitcoin remittances with the first cash-in cash-out money transfer in 2014 and subsequently has become a successful fintech startup with backing from governments, financial institutions, media and of course Bitspark customers.
What is your bitshares account name? bitspark-deposit
Good idea though. Bitspark is going to be huge.
This is the bitshares hangout thread, not the whaletank thread.
Hey cm! they are moving to bts! :)
BitShares Documentation Portal website
@tsugimoto prepared an outline of how she unofficially proposes to update the BitShares/Graphene documentation which was mostly prepared by @xeroc.
BitShares-Based SEC-Compliant Token & Exchange
@stan addressed concerns by the USG's SEC regarding how certain tokens may be obtained and traded. These include:
• Delist tokens deemed unregistered securities.
• Don’t charge fees for trading without a broker/dealer license.
• Don’t charge fees for ICOs based on a percentage of what is raised, equity in the company or any success fee without a broker/dealer license or working as an agent for a broker/dealer.
• Don’t allow trading of security tokens without an SEC exchange license.
• Complete KYC/AML on all members for anti-money laundering.
• Provide auditable transparency – Each exchange must be audited.
• Provide educational material on a regular basis in a clear, visible place on any exchange or ICO website or related app explaining the risks of trading tokens and the possibilities of fraud and loss of funds.
• Provide clear guidelines to members on best practices for avoiding & reporting theft or fraud.
• Provide member wallets and trading with a technically secure exchange.
"Embracing the TXSRB and SEC rules, regulations & laws will make the Stokens Exchange (powered by the BitShares Network) the first and most legally compliant way for a company to successfully secure funding without the chance of a shutdown, lawsuit or investigation. The Stokens Exchange is the future of crypto and it will be built on the BitShares blockchain.
"The new exchange licensed by Stokens, Inc. and called the Stokens Exchange (Stokens.com), will require KYC/AML for membership and only list tokens deemed legal by the SEC and other related global regulating bodies where members reside.
BitShares was designed to support this from the beginning. It must be the responsibility of the individual token issuers and exchanges that build on top of the BitShares platform to ensure that they are fully compliant."

I am interested in hearing more of a discussion on this and how the SEC and government regulators plan on upsetting the balance in crypto - how they will determine an investment asset vs non - and what this means for people holding STEEM, SBD, BTS, EOS, and other UIA.
This is from page 22 of the Whitepaper

I would love to discuss the possibility of introducing Bitshares to college and university students through real-life and simulated use and trading in various business classes.
During my college experience, several business classes (especially Finance courses) used trading software, simulations, and games to help us learn about the concepts of finance.
It would be awesome exposure for Bitshares and would get this next generation of students using and familiar with Bitshares through the Openledger portal.

Thanks again for all you do.
Chinese Government's Temporary Ban on ICOs
"This week, Chinese regulators released a document which in effect has banned new projects that raise cash or other virtual currencies through cryptocurrencies. The working committee defined ICOs as “an unauthorized fundraising tool that may involve financial scams”, providing a list of 60 major ICO platforms for local financial regulatory bodies to inspect.
...
Several Chinese ICO platforms have halted services ... These actions appear to be the beginning of government intrusion, not the end. Investigations and delisting of tokens could have catastrophic effects on investors portfolios."
From Protect Yourself from the Coming Crypto Crackdown
Zhaomu ( @lzmlam ) has suggested on the BitShares DEX group on Telgram that BitShares be promoted to the Chinese community in order to highlight the decentralized aspects of the DEX.
