Bitshares GUI release 2.0.160813
New and improved account creation process, BlockTrades deposit improvements, Featured Assets update and several bug fixes.
The major feature in this release is the refactored account creation process which will be introduced below. It also includes the improvements made by BlockTrades that were previously only available on Openledger. The details for those changes can be found in the Steemit announcement. The release also includes multiple minor bug fixes and enhancements.
Account creation
Account creation is now a step by step process, where you first sign up and create an account, and are then guided through taking a backup. Finally, a "Get Started" screen is shown with some links to different parts of the GUI. This should make the on-boarding process a lot friendlier, and also help ensure that people understand that they need to make a backup of their wallet.
Light wallets
Binaries are available for Windows, Linux and OSX. They can be found here.

good job as usual svk!
good
Fan of your work with Steem libraries and using them in my own project. I wonder how you get time to all these moving parts on different projects. Great work, mate!
Thanks. I do feel like I'm stretched too thin and don't get to devote as much time on some of the projects as they deserve, but on the other hand I always something interesting to do!
Ultimately doing things that interest you and contribute to all these wonderful platforms seem like great way of spending time ;)
@svk isn't is awesome to have a consistent place to post these updates now? As always, great work.
It is indeed :)
What bitshares can do that steem blockchain cant ? i'm interested by the answers please help thanks
How about stealth transactions, decentralized voting, crowdfunding, user issued assets, precious metals, stocks, bonds and more on a Blockchain?
Steem is a Social Network, BitShares a decentralized Asset Exchange . Two different business models and target markets. You can find more info at www.BitShares.org
i mean all this can happen on STEEM ? since it's a blockchain too, and decentralized.
what can prevent us from building a decentralized voting, or crowdfunding on steem blockchain ?
As far as i understand, Steem is the blockchain, Steemit is the social network
i'm not sure you got this right ;)
Yes, all these features are available in the Graphene toolkit developed by Cryptonomex: https://steemit.com/bitshares/@stan/cryptonomex-rears-its-head . BitShares, Steem, Peerplays, and Muse share the same core Blockchain code called "Graphene".
In theory, Steem could active the features like UIA, voting etc. too. The question will be, does it fit into a social media platform? Each feature attracts an individual market with their own requirements and demands.
Steem focus is social media. Why clutter that chain with stuff that can already be done on a chain designed for it. If Steemit starts getting mullions of users every ounce of its resources need to be used for making sure that experience is smooth as possible. If we start adding those features we may need to make tradeoffs at scale that could hurt the platform as a whole.
Thank you SVK for this update!! Especially the new account creation process should make it easier to get started and protect user funds. Always make a .bin file plus Brainkey backup!!
+5%
good announcement!
It is the reason that today BTS is move up.
I'm afraid I can't take credit for that, much as I'd like to. That's probably more related to the PeerPlays announcement in my opinion.
I do not know PeerPlays until now.
I'm with you.
It is graphene based blockchain is good!
You're right, but your work is also very important.
openledger is so much better than other exchanges. Number of users on the account has gone up significantly. There are 120 users there now. There used to be just 60. Last time I remembered.
wow, this very nice
I support @svk, his work and the entire team and thus upvote this post. It's the only way i can contribute to the success of the community today.
