Good to see it growin' Fuzz.  We will hit 500 people today that have been to our Discord channel.  Pretty excited.

I'm joining, love it !!

Fuzzy, is this meant as a replacement of the usual bitshares hangout or is this extra? If so, what is the key difference between the two of them?

Great post...Interested.. upvoted

Hm, sounds interesting...

very good thanks for sharing @officialfuzzy

Som much to learn around here. Thank you for this contribution.

## Funding BSIPs/Worker proposals!
We've got this massive reserve pool of funds to potentially fund development - it's literally in the hundreds of millions $ range!

Some may argue that users who fear BTS dilution will reject all worker proposals, however I believe this was only the case a couple years ago for Bytemaster due to political reasons. Given how less BTS will be distributed now due to the current marketcap, this may not be as serious of a concern anymore.

I feel that there are two things blocking worker proposal attempts:
* <del>Inability to create worker proposal via the GUI.</del> ([Bitshares-UI issue raised!](https://github.com/bitshares/bitshares-ui/issues/173) --> ***svk31 has developed this feature, soon to be released***!)
* Having to create a worker proposal to request funds for potentially developing features for the Bitshares DEX. I feel that requesting payment may be a daunting task, putting users off. If we were able to create bounty proposals to advertise the need and support of a potential [BSIP](https://github.com/bitshares/bsips) we'll successfully recruit developers. Thoughts?

## Writing up [BSIP](https://github.com/bitshares/bsips)s after discussion!
After coming up with a great idea, or holding a discussion about a possible idea we need to make a habit of writing up a [BSIP](https://github.com/bitshares/bsips) to get action going on new features.

Case and point, I still need to write up a [BSIP](https://github.com/bitshares/bsips) for 'Earning interest/dividends on bitassets' ([The forum post has 3000+ views and 9 pages!](https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php/topic,23981.0.html))

## Bitshares Roadmap?

Could we update the [Bitshares roadmap](https://bitshares.org/roadmap.html)?  The last entry in the current roadmap on the official bitshares website is Feb 2016.

## Quick update regarding [HERTZ](https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php/topic,24161.0.html)
TL;DR: HERTZ is an Algorithm based asset (MPA) on the BTS DEX, it's a work in progress (not live), it predictably oscillates the feed price using a sin wave, thus we create phases of buying and selling pressure constantly back and forth forever.

[Follow the bitsharestalk thread!](https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php/topic,24161.0.html)

* USD currently leading the poll for reference asset, followed by CNY. If this works, it'll be worth creating multiple HERTZ tokens for different reference assets, frequencies/amplitudes/period/etc.
* [Minimized price feed script created](https://github.com/grctest/HERTZ-Price-feed-script/blob/master/min_hertz.hs)
* @wackou [responded to the price feed script issue I created](https://github.com/wackou/bts_tools/issues/24#issuecomment-306741609), he's interested in the idea however is currently busy with the peerplays launch. Good to see support building though :)

Why should I buy bitshares? Any good insight?
