Final suggestion from me on making AGS liquid:
Why not make it so that if some minimal amount of BTC is sent to the ANGEL BTC address with a special message containing a valid BTC address, then it transfers over the AGS to the new address?
Then that amount can be kept as "transfer fee".
Of course, there could be complication for snapshots that are already taken. i.e. Feb 28 for the BTSX, would it still honor transfer AFTER the Feb 28 snapshot, or not, etc.
But nothing we couldn't implement easily. We already have tools to parse the transactions from AGS, just parse the messages as well.
Thoughts, comments?
UPDATE (examples):
FEB 1, 2014:
1SomeBTCAddressT56mDQzEdebQdibmigU-> 1ANGELwQwWxMmbdaSWhWLqBEtPTkWb8uDc | AMOUNT: 1 BTC
FEB 2, 2014:
1SomeBTCAddressT56mDQzEdebQdibmigU-> 1ANGELwQwWxMmbdaSWhWLqBEtPTkWb8uDc | AMOUNT: 1 BTC
APR 2, 2014:
1SomeBTCAddressT56mDQzEdebQdibmigU-> 1ANGELwQwWxMmbdaSWhWLqBEtPTkWb8uDc | AMOUNT: 3 BTC
JUNE 15, 2014:
1SomeBTCAddressT56mDQzEdebQdibmigU-> 1ANGELwQwWxMmbdaSWhWLqBEtPTkWb8uDc | AMOUNT: 0.02 BTC
MESSAGE: "TRANSFER TO 1AnotherBTCAddressGPZhHaYfLsMkiQcR"
JUNE 25, 2014:
1SomeBTCAddressT56mDQzEdebQdibmigU-> 1ANGELwQwWxMmbdaSWhWLqBEtPTkWb8uDc | AMOUNT: 1 BTC
Now this person gets to control his 2BTC worth of BTS X with his new address 1AnotherBTCAddressGPZhHaYfLsMkiQcR, even though transfer happened after the snapshot, it happened before BTSX went live. As well as 5 BTC of all future DACs honoring AGS. The 1BTC on JUNE 25, will still be controlled by original address since donation occurred after the transfer.
Or if BM thinks this seems too complicated, then we can just do it for future releases.
