Suggested Press Release regarding the merger

[toast]

Look at the post date! No thread necromancy please.

[RenaudGagne]

Im all for that press release.

[Riverhead]

Also I think the heading should be Mergers not Merges? Yes, I am reading to provide more meaningful feedback than a typo :).

I would personally not use the phrase "in the real world" - this all seems very real to me  ;)

Any press release should not be circulated until BTS is live.

Media push coinciding with coinmarketcap switchover would be ideal.

A press release is all well and good but lets get this all done first.  Make a successful transition to BTS, and then author it a glorious creation myth.  The release could be timed to come out around the day that coinmarketcap updates to show the new shares so when people ask wtf is going on with bitshares?  We can post the link to the press release.

Also I don't like much about how this release is written.  *Bitshares* should absolutely be included (eyeballs on bitshares brand!) in the headline and as this should be done after the change is complete the talk of it being a proposal should be taken out and only the actual final deal be talked about (whatever it ends up being). 

There's no need to give more than a cursory mention to the original proposal, perhaps mentioning it helps with SEO as it could be an opportunity to post a link to bitsharestalk.org. 

And make the headline much more exciting.  More like:

Bitshares unites to form Super DAC
Bitshares completes first ever crypto-merger deal
Bitshares unites the first ever crypto-merger deal
Bitshares expands via first of its kind crypto-merger

BitShares Merger Rocks Crypto World

lol, I like it.   8)

If Dan approves, we could send out a new press release like this, as we've been regularly releasing them over the last couple months. b

Coin mergers: Another first for crypto?

The merger is between BTSX and Vote (and posssibly other DACs that were meant to have an own chain). Ending PTS and AGS is a byproduct of merging "everything" into BTSX.
AGS is clearly not a DAC and can therefore not be merged. I would also say PTS is not a DAC since it does not provide a designated service (it could provide the same service as Bitcoin but that was never the intention).
The stakes in the Vote DAC merge with the stakes in BTSX. And since the stakes in the Vote DAC are mapped in the ledgers of PTS and AGS, AGS and PTS holders get a stake in BTSX.
What is true though is that since "everything" (I am not clear yet myself what that is) is merged into BTSX there is no more need to snapshot PTS/AGS in the future.
