# The Hertz ABA is now LIVE on the Bitshares DEX!

If you've not heard of [Hertz](https://sites.google.com/view/hertz-aba/) yet, it's an Algorithm Based Asset (ABA - aka an MPA w/ an algo) readily available on the BTS DEX which is pegged to the USD, backed by BTS and has its price feed modified to oscillate using a sine wave with 14% amplitude and a 28 day period resulting in a settlement price range fluctuations between $0.86 and $1.14 depending on the current cycle position.

We previously had a minimum price feed count of 10 before activation, however this was reduced to 7 in order to activate now. This is justified by 9 active price feed publishers (only 1 inaccurate), other MPA on the BTS DEX using 7 minimum count (USD, HERO, etc..) and ongoing efforts to recruit several more price feed publishers in the near future.

So now that Hertz is activated, anyone can borrow it into existence & trade it on the BTS DEX!

Thank you Frank for the invite:) much apprec:) I'm Will Bowditch with Props4Crops.com nice to e-meet everyone here.

BitShares name: d1ceroller
Discord name: will#2097
Discussion Overview: Props4Crops is a social media site dedicated to organic/beyond organic gardeners and farmers where people can share images and relevant content about their garden and farm situations:) 
It's been the intention since the inception of the site to attach a cryptocurrency to the 'like'/'props' feature. I first became aware of Steemit in August 2016 and immediately knew i had found the solution to the challenge:)
I am actively seeking devs to bring velocity to the project and to potentially run an ITO while at the same time actively bringing on business and non-profit sponsors in the organic/renewable/sustainable sectors of the economy to participate with us in the marketing of the platform. We're growing quickly and i really apprec everyone in the Bitshares/Steemit community for all of your efforts in building the blockchain based community and tech that provides precisely what we need for people like myself to realize our visions with our projects:)
Thank you kindly, Will

* @fox has announced the release of the official Bitshares Core Developer worker proposal on the Bitshares network. This worker proposal named '201803-bitshares-core' is now live and the community can cast their vote within the Bitshares wallets. 

* AEX exchange (formally known as BTC38) has announced that they have issued GAT (Global AEX Token) on the Bitshares blockchain. GAT is similar to Binance's BNB token and can be used as transaction fees or used for voting on new coins listings.

* A new team of application developers has made themselves known to the community this week with the release of the email-notifier for BitShares DEX. The Notifier allows Bitshares users to subscribe to email alert for account changes such as Transfers, Fill Order execution, or, soon, breach of collateral ratio. 

* The BitShares Blockchain Foundation (@bitshares.fdn) has released a post that provide some insight to the complexities of listing with exchanges in today's legal focused landscape. 

* The BitShares Blockchain Foundation (@bitshares.fdn) have requested that BTS holders consider seven BitShares Improvement Proposal (BSIP). The BSIP's are proposed as worker proposal and available to be voted on with the Bitshares wallets.

### 👍 Another great Bitshares hangout for the archives. 
<br>

💬 Great discussions initiated by @Fox on the BitShares Core Team WP and getting that approved. Thank you to my proxy @ash(Fav) for supporting the effort.  Aside from the technical advancements to the platform, having a coordinated and well-lead team to help educate users and push through appropriate worker proposals and projects will greatly help in the long term marketing and public relation efforts bringing the Bitshares DEX and assets to the mainstream crypto-trading ecosystem. Looking forward to updates in the coming weeks.

⭐ Thank you @SteemPower and @Taconator for consolidating the weekly projects and announcements happening in the Bitshares ecosystem and bringing them to the hangout for discussion.

**You are all appreciated!!!**

📌*&nbsp; **Reminder:** Everyone is free to use the slides I create and present each week to help promote any of the topics covered in the hangout.*

We see Bitshares doing it's thing, stress-free as usual...

I will not be able to attend but will post some topic suggestions

##### Various BitShares Improvement Proposals are out for review and vote by the Stakeholders
_Suggested Duration: 2 to 5 minutes_

BitShares Core developers have prepared improvements to the blockchain that involve changes to the protocol that would change **future behavior** of the blockchain.  Each change to the protocol needs to be approved by the stakeholders.  @abitmore and @oxarbitrage have prepared descriptions of each of those changes to assist the stakeholders in their review.  These descriptions are generally called BitShares Improvement Proposal (BSIP).  The [list of the proposed changes](http://www.bitshares.foundation/worker/bsip) are:

  bsip-0030 | Always Allow Increasing Collateral Ratio If Debt Not Increased
  bsip-0031 | Update Short Position's Margin Call Price After Partially Called Or Settled
  bsip-0032 | Always Match Orders At Maker Price
  bsip-0033 | Maker Orders With Better Prices Take Precedence
  bsip-0034 | Always Trigger Margin Call When Call Price Above Or At Price Feed
  bsip-0035 | Mitigate Rounding Issue On Order Matching
  bsip-0036 | Remove expired price feeds on maintenance interval
  bsip-0037 | Allow new asset name to end with a number

The [full description of each BSIP is available on GitHub](https://github.com/bitshares/bsips).  If you approve of any of these changes, you can vote for them within your wallet.

##### [Press Release: AEX issues its own token on the Bitshares DEX](https://steemit.com/bitshares/@jademont/aex-exchange-issues-its-own-token-based-on-bitshares)
_Suggested Duration: 2 minutes_

AEX announced that they issued a token called GAT (Global AEX Token) with a maximum quantity of 100 billion.  ("aex.com is the former btc38.com, which was the biggest altcoin exchange in China.")

_"GAT is similar to BNB of Binance Exchange, or HT of Huobi Exchange. It's called platform token, which can be used as transaction fee, or used for voting when new coins want to be listed. Also, part of the exchange income will be used to buy back GAT.
The difference of GAT with other platform tokens are as below."_

###### Signifiance to Bitshares

_"Obviously, this is a great news to Bitshares, as it means that if more platforms learn from AEX EXCHANGE and issue their tokens on Bitshares, customers will get an easy way to trade the tokens of different exchanges within Bitshares. Bitshares will become the platform of other platforms."_

##### [Press Release: OpenLedger reduces fees by 50% on the trading fees of OPEN assets](https://blog.openledger.info/2018/03/01/save-50-on-all-fees-when-trading-with-openledger-dex-effective-today/)
_Suggested Duration: 2 minutes_

"Starting March 1st, 2018, OpenLedger DEX trading platform cuts all fees on all deals with open assets by 50%. The new market fee rate for each open asset is just 0,1%!"

##### [What is A User-Issued Asset (UIA) on BitShares?](https://steemit.com/bitshares/@apasia.tech/bitshares-rough-guides-uia-and-ious-whats-the-difference-and-how-do-they-apply-to-assets-like-open-btc)
_Suggested Duration: 5 minutes_

apasia.tech has released a conceptual guide about User-Issued Assets (UIAs) on BitShares and discusses what they are, whether there is collateral behind it, and who is holding that collateral. This a helpful introduction for those who might have never thought about whether you or a third-party actually controls an asset.

How much can we expect to earn in the initial stage

nice logos :D
