Note to PTS holders... we didn't take your liquidity, we gave you liquidity.
PTS is liquid and remains liquid... holders were hoping for a future snapshot in a real DAC as obviously people don't want PTS just for PTS sake... until there is a "real dac" PTS holders are not really liquid. Now they get gradual liquidity in a real DAC that is implementing all of the features they were hoping for.
So you don't want to be locked in for a gradual 2 year release.... then sell to someone who is willing to be locked in for 2 years. There are many buyers of PTS that are pricing in a discount for giving up liquidity and you have the option. Be liquid and sell today... or get a larger stake over 2 years.
Notes from the Chinese community : they can set aside all the difficult part , but the plan must compromise to a really small gesture:
Bitshares team must announce that "Third party DAC using BTS toolkit must give 20% to ags and pts, or the almighty Bitshares team will fork
you ! fork you !!"
The guys don't actually hold you to your word to fork it ,just a gesture from the bitshares team as a "semi-mandatory" guidance to third party developers.You don't have to promise when to fork, just have to let 3rd party devs know "If you don't give it to us,we will fork !!!!!"
This compromise,don't actually cost you guys anything.But can bring many people peace (at least 50%+ of the current protesters).
No need to FORK them... their technological and economical distinctivness will be added to our own. In other words... 3rd parties have and will continue to honor AGS/PTS for the good will of recognizing those who funded this ecosystem.
You don't understand...No one is asking you to fork them.
3rd Party just need to know they will be forked .
Otherwise ,some 3rd party using DAC might actually success without the PTS and AGS as a starting market promotion plan.
They can win,and thinking that you won't fork them. ----- in the end,AGS and PTS still get nothing,and yet contribute the toolkit to a 3rd Party for nothing.
You're assuming PTS and AGS are good enough market demographic , so 3rd would like to get alone with these people.But what if they can find a better demographic with far less cost ?
By the way,by 3rd party dac should give to AGS and PTS, I'm talking about the old AGS and PTS ,not give it though the new BTS
Yes, that is still an option developers will have if they decide what you are saying about your demographic is correct. The Nov 5th snapshot will be there for all time honoring their interests separately. Meanwhile they are ALSO share-dropped a stake they didn't have in the new DAC. Whichever way succeeds, they will win. They have BOTH! (Both is good.)
![Hi, apparently this text is editable. :)](http://bitsharestalk.org/Smileys/aaron/smiley.gif)
As far as being forked. That should be obvious that it will happen - two ways:
1. Stick: Other third parties will see the opportunity to compete with your support.
2. Carrot: BitShares will be competing to attract all DAC developer's inside.
We tell them, don't compete, here's an incentive to build your new ideas on top of a fast-growing platform that can accelerate you to stardom overnight.
If you choose to compete, we will compete to preserve our network effect for all the other tenants in our DAC Business District. That means offering our own version of emerging good ideas. We are duty bound to do so.
Will this gesture meet your needs?
