Thank you.
holy crap this is awesome!! Great work @tsugimoto!! 100% upvote and resteemed!
Hello @ashe-oro, Thank you for your comment!! :)
ur very welcome. I tweeted it too :) https://twitter.com/Ashe_Oro/status/946015408334630913
This comes at a rather timely moment as so many people are moving into the Bitshares environment. A few friends of mine will be needing this right now and, on top of upvoting you and resteeming this, I will be sharing this widely.
Namaste :)
Amazing work by BitShares by the way, it is definitely going to be one of the big gainers in 2018 ! Brock Pierce on board! and he is travelling 24/7 to promote Crypto! :)
No doubts, Bitshares is on a serious run and it is only the very beginning of it all as, at least 1.2 million people are jumping into the network over the next few weeks! Stay tuned for more uprise and value finally getting the recognition Bitshares and its family, EOS, Steem, Zephyr and Eristica deserve.
All for one and one for all! Namaste :)
I hope so. I never heard of Zephyr and Eristica before. How are all of the coins related?
They are found built on the Bitshares platform or are moving by the millions from the Ethereum platform to Bitshares as Ethereum can't cope with the demand scale of their customers! ;)
Namaste :)
Hi @eric-boucher, Thank you for your comment!
You are so welcome, it is my pleasure! Namaste :)
Thats great, Im currently trying to jusr use bitshares but I'm still learning about it, there is so much that you can do with it!
Great collection, well organized, thank U
Hi luisneira, Thank you for your comment!
Nice. Thanks for sharing.
Wow this is a lot of links! It must have taken you some considerable time to organise so well. So all your upvotes are well deserved for this good job. Awesome, following you also now. I will be referencing this a lot and reading everything I haven't seen before about BitShares. I'm really glad you made this list. Thank you.
Hi @britcoin, Thank you for your comment!! Happy learning! :)
I wish we could place stop-losses on the BTS exchange.
Bitshare was a revolutionary step in the field of crypto
Great post ! But is there anything about wallet-ui customisation @tsugimoto beside https://github.com/grctest/BTS-UI-Customization ?
Need help on this as I can't personalise my ui-wallet dashboard :(
Cheers and happy holidays guys !
Hi @tatchcapital, I found this one (https://github.com/BTS-CM/BTS-Theme). This might help ?
Actually I figure it out and started an "alpha" version at wallet.tatchcapital.com
Though your link looks very interesting seems like an alternative way to run the ui !
I'll be looking more into that, thanks for your help !
All best
BTS is awesome! I have tried it and the transaction speed is very fast compared with other crytocurrencies like Ethereum and Bitcoin. Bitcoin is damn slow, it takes me over 30 hours to get a single confirmation and charged me a lot for the Tx fee!
