All DACs have snapshots that honor something.
Upgrade DACs honor their predecessor.
New DACs honor their industry parent which honor PTS/AGS.
If a DAC is the first in a new industry, it honors PTS/AGS directly, just like XT did on February 28.

When an upgrade occurs it can be done either by hard fork if there is delegate consensus or as an alternative chain if not. 

When an alternative chain is offered, everybody gets shares in both via the snapshot mechanism.  As long as there are users for both, they can co-exist like Coke Classic and New Coke a few decades ago.  The expectation is that one or the other of the products will win and the other will fade to zero - but that is up to the market to decide.

Been sitting quietly on the sidelines watching this forum everyday. Recently there was a thread: Today I loose confidence in I3. I thought come on guys, just be patient some great products will come. And so far your logic always made sense.

But the coexistence of PTS and PTS2 just seems like a quick money scheme, the fact that you're considering to do this even before the AGS funding is over, makes me think you're having funding problems. Another million would be enough for now, but what will you come up with, when those funds have dried up?

For investors your making the deal more complicated than it already is, now they have to choose between holding PTS and PTS2, because DAC's can choose to honor either one

PTS will drop from the top 10 coin market list, because it has effectively lost half it's value.

Sorry to be cynical, I still believe in I3, but this just doesn't make any sense.

No one is able to 'shut down' the PTS that exists among the p2p network, which means PTS and PTS2 have to coexist for sure till the hash rate drops to zero.

But 3i can change the SCSL to make developers honor PTS2 rather than PTS after the hard fork.

everyone seems confused - me too!

10% PTS and 10% AGS at least for new DACs from Invictus so far

what happens when PTS 2 is released?

Announcing BitShares PTS2

Shortly after we released PTS in November, Bytemaster reserved the right to release an upgrade when the technology was available.  That time has arrived.  As soon as DPOS finishes its validation trials and BitShares XT is released, we will turn our attention to PTS2 (which, thanks to the new DPOS toolkit, should be rather easy to do.)

PTS2 will honor all shares of PTS one-for-one, with the remaining unmined PTS shares mapped to a "reverse angel" marketing fund to help grow the value of PTS2 - and all its children.

The value proposition PTS2 has over PTS is as follows:
  • Much faster transaction times.
  • A profitable business model.
  • All the other benefits DPOS has over mining.
  • A million dollar promotion fund to help grow its value for those who hold its shares.
(Of course, the dollar value of this fund depends on whether the market value of PTS2 is greater or less than the value of PTS.  Assuming that it is the same, the fund will be worth over a million dollars. As the use of this promotional fund begins to take affect, the value could increase to, say, 2 million dollars.  Or it could be worth zero.  It depends on what we come up with together.)

PTS and PTS2 will compete in the free market. 
Every PTS share holder will get a PTS2 snapshot share as well.
It is up to the free market to decide which shares to hold and which to sell.
It is also up to each developer to decide which PTS version they will honor.

We plan to sell PTS and honor PTS2, but everyone is free to choose otherwise.

This is all we have settled on so far.  We turn to the community for ideas about how to best use a genesis block "reverse angel address" to grow the value of a new DAC - especially a Grand ProtoDAC that is likely to get you shares in many other DACs that you can already see being developed in real time.  Clearly, anything we do to increase demand for any of the children also increased demand for the parent - so there are many, many ways to do this.

We will be sharing some ideas of our own, but are very interested in getting community ideas and buy-in.  The final plan will undoubtedly be a hybrid of the best of the best.

A lot of ideas have been discussed and debated over the past few months.  Here's where we all can post the ones we like liked best - and hammer out a promo-plan that most of us can whole-heartedly support.

For example,

PTS2 release date is Jun 15th when AGS donation is still undergoing. A new DAC is going to take the snapshot on Jun 21st. Is it possible for this new DAC to honor AGS/PTS2 rather than AGS/PTS ?

1.BTS X released & Dpos verified
2.if  AGS donate is not finished  then danate pause
3.PTS2.0(DPos) use Proof of burn
① set a new address
② give PTSer some time such as two weeks
③ PTSer  donate PTS1.0  to the “new address”
④ PTS2.0  honor  the donater in  the list
⑤ the rerest PTS holded by community for development
4 AGS donate restart with PTS2.0

one more thing, would you still accpet PTS donate for AGS? or the PTS2 thing will come after the end of AGS donating?

Good point.  The easiest way is to do as you suggest and wait for AGS to be complete.  But I hope we don't have to wait that long, so I'm open to other ideas...

what?  1pts(old)= 1pts(old)+1pts2.0(new)  at the same time   1pts(old) can donate  AGS?
it's unfair to the early donated AGS

How will you take the PTS2 converted from the current PTS donation?

Like any other snapshot.  Like the XTS that are now in that trust.  All the babies stay in the trust with the donated parents and can only be used to advance the BitShares industry.

So there will be BTC, PTS, XTS, PTS2, ME, LOTTO, DNS, MUSIC - all reserved for use in the Cause.

wait a minute...pts and pts2 will coexist? only pts holders could snapshot pts2 and they will have two coins in hand(say a PTS worth $3.5, now he may have a $3 worth PTS and a $1 worth PTS2) , what about AGS holders? I bought lots of PTSs but donated every of it to get AGS, now I'm thinking it unfair...

Both PTS and AGS benefit by growing public awareness of the industry they are spawning together.  PTS has been benefitting from the work made possible by AGS donations.  AGS donors will benefit by the industry-wide publicity generated by the business plan and marketing strategy of PTS2.   It doesn't matter which contributes something to the industry, both benefit because both have an equal share in all their children.  Just like any good marriage.
