Welcome!
In the spirit of making our activity more transparent here is another monthly report on our work as a Bitshares witness. You probably noticed, that there were no reports for April & May. The reason for that is that @xanoxt attended Global Graphene Developer Conference which was organized and hosted by @bitcrab & @jademont, and the event was so awesome and productive that by the time he returned to his normal workflow it was middle of May already, and we’ve decided that it would be much better to post a report for both April & May at the beginning of the month. Most of this report was ready in early June, but another hurdle was, that it was really hard to talk about the conference without mentioning EOS, and we didn’t have any EOS related news related to what we are doing as Bitshares RuDEX. That is the reason why you are reading a 3-month report.

Technical work

As you well know, we support a server park, that consists of our witness and witness backup, seed node node.blckchnd.com:4243 and 3 API nodes

wss://api-ru.bts.blockchained.com Moscow, Russia
wss://node.market.rudex.org Falkenstein, Germany; 
wss://api.bts.blockchained.com Falkenstein, Germany; 

You can see the list and specs of our servers by looking in our witness thread on bitsharestalk

We support gateways for the following graphene chains: Steem & Golos, Peerplays, Muse, Karma, Decent, Scorum, and also Travelchain.

Also in last three months we’ve added gateways for Ethereum, Bitcoin & Digibyte.

Another important addition was the fact that we were the first exchange on Bitshares to launch an EOS gateway!

The appearance of Digibyte and Bitcoin gateways means that also means that in the future you can expect us to launch gateways for other popular Bitcoin forks, such as privacy-centric Dash, or meme-centric Dogecoin.

We are working on the rules that would allow the listing of coins, both by contacting and paying for a listing, as well as by requests from the community.

Additionally, we’re active in bitshares github, including pull requests and bug reports. You can track our activity here.

Awareness and outreach activities

Awareness and education are important parts of our mission. We are continuing to translate articles as usual, but this month there are going to be no dry numbers about articles we translated, but instead we’ll tell you how one of our team was invited to Shanghai as a speaker.

You can see the translated articles by looking at our blog on Steemit.

Global Graphene Developer Conference was held in Shanghai in early May and was the 2nd event of this kind in China, but the first event with such a global reach. The conference was attended by members of many projects based on Graphene codebase, and the whole of the first day was devoted to them. A special place among those project belonged to Bitshares as it was the first Graphene chain.

Second day was fully about EOS, both about its technical characteristics, and about community: presentations from Chinese BP Candidates.

Although I’ve attended quite a few blockchain conferences, the event in Shanghai was one of the largest and well organized. I am really hoping to be at Graphene DevCon 2, and suggest you keep an eye out and visit it! Huge thanks to @bitcrab & @jademont, as well as BlockGeek for organizing and hosting the event, and for all the participants for making it such a cool event!

We’re also actively moderating Russian language threads on bitcointalk, which is now more than 17 pages in length (19k views).

On top of that we’re helping several teams that are working on creating their own interfaces and/or businesses based on Bitshares DEX.
It seems that our bad influence is contagious. :)

As we mentioned earlier this report was worked on for three months. After some deliberation, we decided that we would post those reports every quarter. That means that our next report is going to be in the end of September.

Thank you for your time, now we can get back to work, since our moto is less talk, more action.
