Secure genesis claims

It is now possible to claim genesis balances without importing private keys by means of the new "wallet_import_by_signedmsg" command. A description of the idea can be found here: http://pts.cubeconnex.com/index.php?topic=37.0

And no, I am not registering just to read it...

Tony, the discussion board no longer requires login.  :)

That windows wallet is from the previous test network. This is *not* dry run #1. Cube is working on the GUI and will provide a new windows wallet when he's finished.

Windows wallet (https://github.com/PTS-DPOS/PTS/releases) start sync 20+ days  :o It's sync BitShares (BTS) block chain?

The actual upgrade will use snapshot from Dec 14 though, right?

Yes, upgrade will use the last snapshot prior to the end of day December 14th UTC. Only clarifying this because there is a slight possibility that we get no blocks on that day (due to the slow block times of the current PoW chain).

We are pleased to announce that we have just started dry run #1 of the new PTS client software.

We invite all interested parties to participate in testing the new network.

* Currently only the CLI client is available, GUI will follow soon.
* Specs are as announced previously ( http://pts.cubeconnex.com/index.php?topic=43.0 ), but not necessarily final.
* Source code is available at https://github.com/PTS-DPOS/PTS .
* Genesis block uses PTS snapshot from 2014-12-02, scaled to 1 billion PTS.

Among other things, we want to specifically test our new feature:

We are looking for initial delegates!

In order to achieve good decentralization right from the start we hope to find volunteers for running initial delegates from dry run #2 on. Details are described here: http://pts.cubeconnex.com/index.php?topic=48.0 . Please help us make the new network secure and reliable!
