Am I right that the Prototshares qt client doens't exist for linux? Then booting from a USB with Linux on it wouldnt be an option...

It works fine on Linux.  You would just need to build your own binary from the git hub source.

Haha I am not a techie guy! Sounds advanced... Can that easily be done?

Ah, I see Riverhead has addressed that. Yes, before 100 transactions, your change will be safe because of the key pool. Please just be aware of how this works. I lost a lot of btc back in the day from not understanding this.

Ok. So as long as I copy the wallet.dat file that was in use every 100 transactions or less I am safe. And also it doesn't do harm to replace the original wallet.dat copy with the wallet.dat file that was recently used. Correct?
 
Offtopic: How can I empty the wallet on a USB stick that was connected to a Internet Cafe omputer? Does my system (potentially) get infected just by pluging a USB stick into an infected computer and afterwards into my main computer?

And would I be able to send coins from the wallet that is within Linux on an USB Stick? Will linux connect to the Internet via the computer to which the USB stick is connected to?

Waoh that was accurate :)

...so I have to replace the originally stored wallet.dat file with the one that was recently used (by the client) every 100 (or less) transactions?

...so storing my wallet.dat file, alongside with an installed client within a Linux environment on a USB Stick, helps me to not get my USB stick infected when I have to use it (in an internet cafe) with maleware infected computers?

Riverhead that was a nice summary :) Thanks! But it didnt answer any of my questions (specifically):)

So is it true that the wallet.dat file contains your public and your private key as well as the encryption you used? <- I am thinking that because you said the only thing that has to be done is to encrypt wallet (within the client) and then only safe the wallet.dat file. So the encryption must be stored in the wallet.dat file?

Also if I rename the wallet.da file I would have to re-rename it to "wallet.dat" again when I want to do a transaction with it, right?

After having done a transaction there is nothing that changed within the wallet.dat file, right (its still just the public and the private key and the encryption)? So I don't have to replace this wallet.dat file that I just used with the one that I originally made a copy of, right?

My solution would look like this: I have one Computer with a hot wallet for daily transactions. From this wallet I send all the PTS/Coins I want to store to an address that is generated by a client on a computer with a fresh OS (this Computer has no other function; surely maleware free). Then I encrypt this wallet and safe only the wallet.dat file on a USB Stick that is encryped with TrueCrypt.
When I want to use coins I copy the wallet.dat file on the USB stick to the maleware free computer  (to appdata/protoshares) and send my coins either to the hot wallet address or directly to whoever I want to send coins to... Then I erase the wallet.dat file on the maleware free computer again without saving it.

I am pretty sure I doent have maleware on my laptop because no coins have been stolen yet. But by the solution with the additional computer that has a fresh OS I can make sure that I dont copy and maleware onto the USB where I also safe my wallet.dat. Does that make sense ?!  :o

Any flaws in there?

Other people suggest to install an OS (Linux) on an USB Stick. What advantage would that have?

Ok. Thanks. I'm still wrapping my head around it. My initial question was: Are those 3rd parties more likely to honor PTS or AGS with respect to the structure/qualities of both shares?

Is it I3's primary goal to have other developers building upon I3 code base? Or will PTS/AGS (both having the same potential here?) primarily be honored because of the attention the new DAC would get from honoring PTS?   

Our goal is to have many DACs built on our code.

....by other developers than you?

What it the "toolkit, infrastructure and ecosystem" you are talking about that other DAC devs would profit from? Is is "just" (can be a lot) the attention of PTS/AGS holders? OR is it that other DAC devs would build upon I3 codebase which PTS holders helped to finance?

This was an interesting clarification bu my original question was comparing AGS to PTS in their potential to be honored by DAC devs other than I3. I was asking about the difference of PTS and AGS in that respect...

It was said that Angel Shares are less likely to honored by other (than I3) DAC developers than PTS. Why?

BitShares PTS / Re: "No block source available" error message
« on: December 31, 2013, 05:54:17 pm »
The 0.2.0 client is synchronizing now. I downloaded the 0.4.0 client opened it and closed it again because it was not synchronizing. Then I opened the 0.2.0 client and it began to sync... And my pts are in the wallet now too! Thanks if you have done something about it!
I have two questions:
- How can I transfer my coins to a newer client version?
- Can I just copy the whole folder (protoshares-0.2.0) and safe it on for example an usb stick in order to avoid the loss of coins due to hardware failure?

But can I receive PTS that I already sent to a PTS address that was generated by the 0.2.0 client with the 0.4.0 client ?? Please can someone look at my post (with the quotes) above. Thanks! I tried both, adding the nodes with and without the "=" and always with the SOCKS proxy unticked.
TBH you have quite a bit a problem here which surely doenst help promoting protoshares/bitshares, especially not if someone is loosing his money this way! I got the client from the official download section of invictus-innovations.com !
