As an avid Protoshares supporter I'm of the belief that in order to attract people to the brand we need to keep things as simple as possible.
Since the release of PTS anyone with a little knowledge of cryptocurrencies could find PTS on coinmarketcap and infer from that, that PTS was another cryptocurrency.
However from there things get unnecessarily complicated.
Those with enough understanding will know that PTS offer much much more than just another altcoin.. those with enough understanding will likely have put time and effort into the forum and developed an understanding that evolved..
The point is... we should be the minority if PTS is to be a success!
Lets look at the current situation.. Aside from PTS and BTS now theres:
-angel shares
-luckyshares
-memory coin
-Keyhotee
-DACS

Things are far from easy to understand... especially for the regular punter who's heard of Bitcoin and looking for the next big thing..
Have a look at an inferior competitor in Globalcoin.. have a look at their website.. their explanations.

Compare this to our website explanations..

Ask yourself 2 questions:
What is Protoshares?
What is Globalcoin?
Which is easier to understand!
Warren Buffet's first rule of investing needs to be considered here
‘Never invest in a business you cannot understand.’
How can we expect anyone without a technical background to invest in DACS as things stand?!
Lets not let the competitive advantage we have get lost in inferior marketing.

Agreed.
With the advent of AngelShares, the BitShares community should have the resources to upgrade to first class.
Watch for our new million dollar bounty program!

LuckyShares are the 3rd DAC on my list to create after BitShares... If we get enough Angel funding then I will release the full spec as a bounty... it is already drafted :)

I've run across this doohickey-language called UML: Universal Modeling Language. It's supposed to be a way to intuitively and visually flowchart anything. I've thought: maybe that would be a useful way to more easily communicate the intricacies of it all?
Because the fact is, the power of the distributed bank/exchange which is BitShares (if I understand correctly--am I confusing terms? :p) is that it creates value in very much the same way that the Federal Reserve Bank does, and also stock exchanges (both of which could probably be argued to be intricate in ways); it's just that the inputs and outputs are far less susceptible to human corrupting factors.
(The Fed is like a teenager with an unlimited credit card from parents (the U.S. Citizenry ;)) who don't know how to set limits, not in any sense of the word.)
