Since Open ledger is supposed to be starting up today:

Anyone open an Open ledger account for the purpose of trading (mostly I am considering trading BTC and dollars)?

https://bitshares.org/

It appears that that the fees are going to be pretty low, no?

And, seems to be fairly secure to download the software, like NO ONE is going to run off with your coins, no?

https://bitshares.org/register/

In reviewing some of the materials, I am a little bit nervous about the whole decentralized process (which I understand is one of the whole purposes of bitcoin). Currently, I keep my bitcoins with a variety of quasi-centralized arrangements (such as Circe, Coinbase, Blockchain and BTC-e).

I would like to hear about some of the experiences of others regarding this open ledger matter before I delve into it.

Does adding a question mark make it less of a forced attempt at advertising?

I'm NOT advertising or in any way connected with BTS.

If there is another or a better way to exchange BTC for dollars with fairly minimal fees, then certainly I would be interested in that ... .or maybe even rephrasing the question to be able to discuss potential decentralized solutions for the purpose of trading BTC and USD with fairly low fees, while hopefully also avoiding the tax man.
