BitShares-PTS 1.0 Release (2.18.2014)

[unsoindovo]

just to clarify.
on 28 february i have my pts wallet [Protoshares-Qt vp0.4.0] with some Pts inside.
To claim Bitshare, on 1 march i install bitshare-Pts wallet [BitShares-PTS v1.0.0].
How to procede to get bitsahre and see coins in bitshare-Pts wallet [BitShares-PTS v1.0.0]?
thankyou very much for the explanation!!!

testz, ty very much for clasification!
so i rephrase with 2 questions :-)

1) on 1 march i install BitShares-PTS. If this new wallet point to %appconfig%/roaming/protoshare [windows here], can i see new PTS on my wallet? Or i need to do something else?

2) when bitshare X will be released, how i can claim my BitShareX for each BitShare-PTS?

thank you again!

This release is just an update to your current "ProtoShares" wallet.  You don't need to wait until after the 28th to switch to the new version.  This version gets rid of the lingering "Protoshares" name in favor of BitShares-PTS, since "Protoshares" turns out to be trademarked by someone else as the name of their entirely unrelated product.

After installing the new wallet, you will need to copy the "wallet.dat" file from your [username]\AppData\Protoshares directory into the new [username]\AppData\BitShares-PTS directory.

Please do not confuse, BitShares-PTS and BitShares X.
BitShares-PTS it's a new name of ProtoShares (PTS), so BitShares-PTS Client it's a new version of the ProtoShares Client with few improvements.

AAhhhhh ... obvious move ... thanks for clarifying this

March 1 will not have dl.  The ides of march is our target.  It has historic significance. 

You don't need the pts wallet.  We will provide the bts wallet at that time.

Where do I get to place a bet that the change of name leads to people freaking out and thinking they lost all their coins when they don't think to rename their config directory?  (Even the windows installer didn't rename C:\users\blah\AppData\protoshares for me!)

Am I just cynical about the competence of the average investor?

New version doesn't touch AppData\ProtoShares folder, instead it's creates new folder BitShares-PTS. You need to copy wallet.dat manually, and sure, it's also a good time to make a backup copy of your wallet.dat:
