Summary
This is our most feature rich release so far. It does include a number of bug fixes as well, solving a few deeply rooted persistent problems related to the initial socket connection.
New and Improved
We've completely rewritten the Portfolio / Open Orders / Margin Positions and Activity screens. They all fall neatly under the Dashboard. Other noteable features include:
- Price of asset display
- Margin position Price / Call price display
- Margin Position color indicator in header when ratio dips to critical levels
- Summary of values for each of My Portfolio / Open Orders / Margin Positions tying back to overall account value.
- We have incorporated an optional QR code in place of the identicon now. All you have to do is click on it to change it permanently, or click again to switch it back. Clicking the Deposit BTS button also changes it. Also added text to explain that the username is their address.
- We fixed a serious issue related to the initial socket connection and also got to the root of a problem related to the latency reporting of eligible nodes.
- We also applied the new table stying to the accounts screen.
Future plans include:
- Continued conversion of the remaining tables
- Tradingview library to replace existing exchange charting
- Redesigned menu and header
- More thorough responsive design
- Redesigned Deposit / Withdrawal / Send screens

Proceeds from this post will be divided among the bitshares-ui team, @svk, @calvinfroedge and me.
The GUI honestly threw me off at first as I got use to the old crazy GUI we had before lol.
I do like now though the setup after spending the last 2-3 days using it. I like being able to see everything in my account at a glance and the values of each at a glance instead of checking each market one by one.
LOL, You are right and we must not forget that the GUI is very interesting:
Because it is the only part of a program that the user can see and touch!
Because we all know applications that have incredible features but will never be successful because of their poor interface.
Sounds like HUGE progress Mr. Bill, especially the addition of Tradingview to appear in a future release. Keep it up, you & your team are doing fantastic work!
Making the whole platform more user friendly can only help everyone on the long run, as long as it doesn't downgrade the quality of the product. Here, in this instance, it sure doesn't and it is greatly appreciated. Thank you so very much for all this excellent work and unwavering dedication.
All for one and one for all! Namaste :)
Making the whole things as clear and simple as possible is essential most people are too baffled to bother with it even though in theory it appears to be the superior place to trade
Agreed!
Before all this I would usually say that if it comes from Bitshares it must be good. Nowadays it must be perfect. Perfect implementation of UI/UX. Hands up.
Well said, I conquer! Namaste :)
Thanks a lot.
I agree with you
Agree. But there is another problem. Need more coins for trading.
So glad to see this much needed progress!
Well done to you and your Team Bill :)
Something that confues me in trading plaforms is the conversion of the diffrent coin prices to the dollar...some of bitrexx coins have usd next to it which makes easier to compare...wish it would have it on every coin...hope bitshares would build that feature soon
Good work :)
Completely Missed This
somehow, with all the "life" I've been dealing with the last few years. Was literally thinking, "When is someone going to come up with a blockchain exchange?" and saw this link 2 minutes later. lol
Rock ON! :D
I've been using Bitshares for a little over a month now and I love it. Highly recommended!
The Software Layout is Great!
Deposits are super simple and I LOVE the open gateways! Crazy, just crazy!
I guess you mean decentralised exchange .
There's others around and many others starting out, many ICO's for them around I wonder which survive
Indeed, there are quite a few, I've been out of the loop and haven't been paying attention. Some big names are jumping in as well.
Going to be quite a race. LOL BitShares is definitely fast and capable already. :D trading was super quick and easy today. lol
There are a few "DEX"es but BITSHARES creator Dan is the one who coined the term! BitShares is the first real DEX and has greater possibilities than any other I can find.
They've done a stunning job, seriously.
Hahaahaha!, thats life
Yep, and I just realized I picked up a way better deal than if I'd invested in the beginning. Rock On! :D
Thats the best bro.. Just always makesure you invest safely..more btc into your wallet 😀
Not exactly true. BTS was at $.003 for a loooong time. But glad you are here now!
You're correct. I was looking at the wrong chart. lol :) I did miss the price spike though.
Loving this software. :D
Was great to see this morning! Enjoy the VIRGROW tokens I sent to the bitshares-ui team so you may each have one as my token of appreciation. Keep up the great work!
agreed, great job bro...!!
very nice. keep up the good work!
Have A Few Bucks in BTC Laying Around?
You know, not enough to do much with? It's enough to buy some Bitshares. I just picked up 97 for a little over $3... :)
thanks!

Good work
After a year bitshare is now step up to the next level. So its the price soon.
Woo! I love it! Great work guys, and perfect timing ;D
Such a wonderful post and very informative.
I must say one thing: This thing just gets better and better. It's fast, uses no memory (almost) and I can do almost whatever.
One thing: Change the date "GUI October 9th, 2017" on the download landing page.
Done.
That will make many traders stay once and for all dedicated to our platform!
Wow! This is great. good job!!

Your post was mentioned in the hit parade in the following category:
I believe more and more people will start to see the value in the DEX as sites like Poloniex / Bittrex run into problems / hacks / regulation in the future. This is a really good tool to have for all of us in Crypt0. Thank you @billbutler
Ahhhhh, an useful GUI update, thank you so much, it's much appreciated ! I think that's the way bitshares has to take (improving interface) if we want adoption ! Keep the good work !
