vesting_balance_create operation can be used to manually create vesting_balance objects by one party for itself as well as for another party, each vesting_balance object can have a policy attached, E.G. when the receiving party can withdraw how much from the object.
Recently there was a discussion in the community about using the vesting_balance_create operation to do airdrops or something similar to stock options within certain groups, but the discussion didn't last long because the current fee (1$) is too high.
Also there is a TODO in config.py:
Discuss vesting_balance_create, too expensive for mass creation in dividends use case
Since the operation would create long-standing objects in RAM, we should not set the fee to too low.
I suggest that we reduce this fee to incentivize people to build businesses on top of BitShares platform. 0.1$ looks like a good compromise for me.
