@abit what do you mean with "free"? :)

How is it not truly free then?

Implicit cost.
You have to own or be delegated some SP to be able to transfer.

Ahhh fair enough. You're forgetting the ISP bill, the electricity bill and the food you pay for though ;)

How much would that be circa, just any amount? That's a truly interesting piece of information I seem to have missed.

(I guess we're talking about the same SP you pay to get the account, but I'm not sure)

Minimum requirement for transferring is 0.001 SP. Minimum requirement for voting is around 5 SP right now, but may be reduced after Hard Fork 19.

Oh sweet! I was just talking about fees with someone the other day. #ontheball

Great news! I saw the video yesterday posted by @stan and look forward to read more about the funding infusions that have been promised. I think if / when it actually happens this will give Bitshares another boost to the upside.

Is there still need for bts witnesses? I understand the process is relatively similar with Steemit witnesses.

Sure good witnesses are needed, however BitShares doesn't pay backup witnesses so far. Also it's much harder to get support / votes in BitShares, and price feeding in BitShares is much more important and complicated and is closely monitored by stake holders.

K, got it, thanks. Will give it a try, though, just out of curiosity, when I'll have a bit more time.

We are all waiting for BitShares Core 3!

Hehe...some of us have super secret plannnns :]

... core 3 ? what features do you expect from ?

好消息！！

Bit Shares is good i am investing some small amounts in it every time ihad a chanse :)

Thanks for the update @abit! I am an enthusiastic promoter, user and investor in BitShares!

Is the life time membership fee been reduced?

All fees have been reduced, including life time membership fee.

Do I still need boost 5.80 and GCC 5 to build it? I tried over 10 times and never succeeded.

Follow the instructions on the https://github.com/bitshares/bitshares-core/ page, or https://github.com/bitshares/bitshares-core/blob/master/README.md

Didn't realize boost had that many revisions. I still build with boost 1.57.0 for now, but it can also be built with 1.58 - 1.61.

WOW! Was vesting reduced too?
I was battling for the fees to go down since long time!

All fees.

Awesome, thanks abit for the great bitshares core update!! Good work.

Very good for steemit, go forward

Amen.

Still most underestimated in all the crypto space.

Are you a BitShares developer?

I think I can say yes.
