"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

The Format of these Hangouts:

This post is planned to go up every Thursday the day 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. @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 will we have?

Hangouts will be at least 45 minutes long, but depending on attendance and projects/topics to be covered may last up to 1 hour. Given this, we will try to stay with 4-5 core topics and will fit in others where possible.

What will we earn for contributing?

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 whaleshares 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! ;)

I would like to see the following discussed during the hangout

Worker Proposal: Maintenance Worker

This is an unglamorous position whose performance is difficult to assess from the outside. However, it is a very valuable and necessary role that is needed by any project.

Responsibilities

Review submitted issues
Work on known high-priority bugs
Add units tests or advise for separate workers for them
Work on new features or advise for separate workers for them

With sufficient work to be completed, there is probably a need for at least two such workers: one for the back-end/core (93 issues and 7 pull requests), and another for the front-end/GUI (81 issues and 1 pull request).

I was the Support Engineer at my last job and I hated it b/c it was the dumping grounds for all calls and angry customers and issues. I had to fix things that I should not have had to fix and got no help/recognition (I even got the old "You should be lucky to even have a job at all" line from the then-PM).

Now I am an actual Software Engineer and am outside of the Support Desk/Maintenance level; but knowing what it entails, I have my hand and mind ever-ready to assist my current employer's support needs. I make sure to tell him how well he's doing... if it wasn't for his expertise and skill, we would be in great heaps of trouble.

Great post.

I will be giving an update on my campaign as a proxy as well as the following worker campaigns:

User Interface for Easily Submitting Worker Proposals
A CoinMarketcap Advertisement in the top banner to pay for a "the blockchain is hiring"
2a) If needed I may front the money to the chain and ask for reimbursement, but this is part of the discussion to be had. I have received information from my inquiry into cost for such an ad. Will update tomorrow!

Wow, I was waiting for this post! Here is my proposal. I may not be able to participate as a speaker, so feel free to discuss this here.

I think if we tweak the membership plan a bit, then bitshares can actually have a lot more members and volume. This is a sure shot thing. Basically there are many Affiliate marketers who first used to market revsares, HYIPs etc. You might have heard of sites like MPA (Mypayingads), Bitluna etc. The top affiliate marketers brought in thousands of members (and $) just within some months. But, right now, the phase of these revshares and HYIPs has gone and basically all these affiliate marketers have shifted to crypto trading. Now their followers follow their trading tips. My plan is to harvest these marketers to promote Bitshares as an exchange and in return they will of course get ref commissions. But there is 1 issue with the current membership plan. To be able to promote ur ref link, u require the lifetime membership. Which many affiliate marketers won't be interested to buy, as they don't want to pay money to get ref link and secondly, it can't be said when they will get their ROI on it. So my suggestions:

Reflinks should be available to every BTS member, so that he/she can actively promote BTS. Lifetime members can have the 80% fee cashback as usual + other benefits like more ref commissions than basic members. Basic members can have a ref commission of 10%-15%.
If option 1 can not be implemented, then another membership plan between basic and lifetime membership should be added, with less membership fees. Also the option of postpaid membership fee should be there, so more members can buy it. The payments will be deducted from their ref commissions. No cashbacks will be available in this plan.
Further more, you can lessen the current ref commissions and add option of second level (referral of referral) ref commissions. This will boost the promotion of Bitshares even more.

I think with the simple steps mentioned above, not only Bitshares would get free marketing, but also much better results in terms of amount of members and volume of trades. This will then of course also help in increasing the prices of native BTS tokens like whaleshare. I am not a technical person, but since I have been involved with affiliate marketing and know many affiliate marketers, I can tell you that this thing works. Polo is losing it's ground and now is the best time to capture the market.
I Hope you will give it a thought.

What about a reduction in the cost of LTM membership?

I can see the benefits of making referrals open to the public, however I feel that this may open up the possibility for these links to be heavily spammed on the internet (perhaps bad image, though at the benefit of increased userbase).

I like the idea of reduced referral income for non-ltm users, that at least is a middle ground that most could get behind..
