Can I use BTC to buy BTS on bitshares.org?

You can use options outside of the BTS options on blocktrades.us - It is very beneficial to learn about bitshares before jumping in. It can be a bit confusing if you have't worked with openledger or the bit system. Blocktrades is pretty self explanatory. One thing to keep in mind is that BTC is very expensive to make transactions. I would suggest you trade to a less costly coin to make transactions and move money around. STEEM is not a terrible cost to do the business, and blocktrades supports that trade. If you go to their site, it will let you know if they option you select is available for swapping or not. Read up on OpenLedger and Bitbtc to learn more about the coin exchange in Bitshares.

Hi, I am unable to connect to bitshares server (see below). Did I do anything wrong? Any help is appreciated!

Sync your clock

Thank you so much!

Hi @hippo .....here is how you correct that. Assuming you're using a windows OS, go to your Change Date and Time Settings, then Internet Time, then change settings, and sync your computer clock with the internet server time clock. Restart Bitshares.....if it doesn't do it the first time, repeat a couple times, and it will sync up. Same thing is required if you have ever had issues running your own node for a blockchain.

Will try. Thank you so much!

How would you do this on Mac?

Have not worked on a Mac in a while, simple search for clock sync for mac should provide the process!

Bitshare exchange is the best spot
