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.
I don't think so. Since Bitshares will have the DPOS, it just makes sense to have the coin use this. To upgrade, they need to fork. Since forks are messy and piss off a lot of holders, they've decided to keep PTS active and just add a second currency, PTS2. As Stan said, let the market decide.
I would like to see an earlier poster's question answered, though. And I'll logically extend it by asking: how does PS2 affect the social contract (minimum 10% each to PTS and AGS)? Can a DAC now choose to allocate that PTS 10% to EITHER PTS or PTS2? That choice makes the most sense, since PTS holders are getting both. At least, it makes sense until one of them possibly dominates and the other one withers away, though they may both continue for all eternity.
