Title: If i redeem my 1 year of PTS in BTS, will get more BTS?
Post by: CapR on December 09, 2014, 02:17:43 am
My understanding is the money supply limits are different for both PTS and BTS.  PTS is 2 million and BTS is in the billions.

Yes, correct. PTS has about 1.7 million shares, BTS has 2.5 billion shares. If you sell your PTS you'll get significantly more shares in BTS, as 1 BTS share is worth less than 1 PTS share.

What do you mean by your 1 year in PTS?

To answer the question I think you might be asking: Yes. There is a multiplier.

This should help you figure it out:

1PTS will net about 99.26853273 BTS vested over two years.

So I have to trade my PTS for BTS on an exchange?

No. You import your pts wallet.dat. Your bts is waiting on the blockchain. The client just needs to read your pts wallet private keys to make it spendable.

It shows the balance in the sharedrop command, but balance is still 0. Is that because the sharedrop hasn't actually taken place yet in the client?
