I think alphaBar has a valid point of view. I think if PTS holders as a whole don't find a value in using the funds for marketing and don't think it's a good idea, than it may be best not to. If it upsets even a minority it has the potential to be damaging.
We expected PTS to take 1 year to reach 2 million and we are a little over halfway into it with 85% mined.
The "time value of money" damage due to getting 15% inflation all at once in July vs getting the same 15% inflation over the next few months would generally be considered insignificant (fraction of 1%)
For most investments you'd be much better off this way if you can avoid a 1% inflation forever afterward.
However, if there were significant DAC families that took snapshots in the near future, it might end up being true that the upgrade dilutes PTS holder stake in those DACs more than it would have in the original estimated PTS inflation schedule.
A lot of us think that the marketing could generate a huge return but if that is not the sentiment among PTS holders we may be best to respect it.
