Summary: Covered this Hangout #1 w/ $132.28 – @PeerPlays Jonathon Bahai of PeerPlays says “It’s alive!” regarding the new testnet. He also reminds everyone they can now check the number of tokens they will receive via the BitShares sharedrop. Check out your peerplay sharedrop amount at peerplays.tech. Michael Maloney gives details on the snapshot and explains why results on the estimates of sharedrops on BitShares holders may be very slightly higher than the quotes received. So if you receive 1% or so less than your quoted amount it is ok and attributed to the fact that some accounts have not quite been added to the pool receiving payouts. He also lets everyone know that early days of the testnet will have very few features, but will continue adding on. Informs us that there will be a weekly written update on the PeerPlays news site where these updates will be given. Keep up with these written news articles and these hangouts to find out which features are going to be added! One final note: ebay type features will now be available for PeerPlays and, in the future, potentially all of graphene!

Chris goes over some of the attendees they met and other blockchain startups and services in the space. He also talks about the new locations where blockpay will be accepted around the world. After BitShares Munich empowered the Oktoberfest Beer Garden, they spoke with individuals who work in blockchain technology. Chris expressed that users became interested in the speed and ability to accept cryptocurrencies for free. Those with whom they spoke had an appreciation for bitshares technology and how it makes it possible to purchase with any of your favorite cryptos–all because of BitShares! As always, Chris4210 takes questions from the community. Including one about what it was like hanging with Kevin Spacey... Don’t forget you can find the blockpay app at the google play store or on the blockpay website. Check out the blockpay homepage for Updates!
