I like 'Sparkles'; we could do with some femininity in cryptocurrencies!

Sparkles, thanks for deciding to allocate 30/30/30 to all three groups.  (pending the .json which hopefully Hackfisher can get for you since he allocated to all three for PLAY).

I'd better start working on some sparkle pony memes.

To make things right better to announce separate snapshot date for PTS/BTS for example last block of 24 of December.
BM still in the progress of returning remaining PTS donations to the donors hopefully he will finish before snapshot: https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php?topic=11289.0

@people who prefer the name spark:  There is already an altcoin called spark.

Theres also a bitcoin remittance business already called bitspark.

Well if there's an altcoin named Spark it means their units are probably called Sparks too... So I guess Sparkle will be sending 'Sparkles.'

I'm still not won over by share-dropping on bts... how does sharedrop on bts help bitshares.. I don't get it.

It helps bitshares holders because they get a piece of something that is using the bitshares code.

It helps sparkle because it gets a wider initial distribution with more people interested in the coin.

I would prefer the name to be Spark personally, it is much better.

Sparks are the unit, Sparkle is the system.  It keeps things separate vs all of the confusion of Bitcoin vs BTC.   BitShare vs BitShares vs bitshare vs bitshares vs BTS.

I don't want to overload the name.

I still think spark is cool for main brand name, though if the unit is called a spark that's something at least.

Mining reward now decreases linearly over 100 years rather than halving ever 4 years, this should smooth things out.

I have run a test network with two mining nodes on it and everything appears to be working.  I am looking for some people to run public nodes.  It is setup to generate a lot of forks in the test and these forks seem to resolve themselves well. 

Still waiting on an icon/logo/splash screen but so far finding help has been difficult.   I will start work on these myself if I don't get any feedback soon.

Overall I am very happy with how this is progressing.

When is the planned sharedrop date?

After the next release of BitShares with their latest features/fixes.

So the allocation will be 30/30/30? AGS, PTS, BTS?

If someone can generate a genesis.json file that honors BTS.   Looking for some help here.

Sparkle is fully honoring AGS/PTS in recognition of their support and belief in many 3rd party DACs.   BitShares will not be honored because of their view of everything else as competition.   

Regards the name, Sparkle sounds quite feminine. Have you considered just 'Spark'. That sounds more masculine and impactful. Spark a fire/revolution/idea etc.

 'All you need is a Spark'
