Here is a thread that has identified a means for miners to mine BTS:
https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php?topic=3587.msg45111#msg45111
The reality is that people can mine anything and trade it for PTS. Miners should always mine what is most profitable so they can maximize their ROI.
That said it seems like we could benefit everyone by converting PTS to TaPOS and then allowing those who want to invest by mining to mine one of the other coins out there... NoirShares, DOGE, etc and then buy PTS on BTER. In fact, making such a move would increase the value of PTS in the long term by 30%.
What would everyone think about such an idea?
leave NRS out of your nefarious plans Dan.
In fact, people should mine PTS and trade for NRS, making such a move would increase the value of NRS in the long term by 30%.
Barwizi,
I'm confused why you seem to want to help the BitShares community (which I appreciate a lot), but on the other hand, instead of cooperating with the community and the social consensus you released something that can only be viewed as a competitor and try to promote it here. It's beyond me why you couldn't bear to give a 20% stake to this community for their support when you seem to like this community.
The people mining Noirshares are probably mostly people who troll the altcoin announcements on bitcointalk looking for things to mine early before it hits exchanges and they sell it. These are the people you decided you prefer to give your shares away to.
Rather than have everyone interested in BitShares downloading your wallet and supporting your efforts and providing feedback, the only way for me to get into NoirShares is to take money away from what I would put into BitShares. So it is competition.
Unless I thought what you are doing is a bigger deal and more valuable to the goals of decentralization then what Invictus/Bitshares is doing, I just can't take support away from them to support you.
Maybe I have misinterpreted your goals and efforts but it feels this way to me. Again, I appreciate all your attempts to help the community and movement; your decision just confuses me and I feel like it would have been better to cooperate instead of compete.
(Apologies for adding something off subject to this important thread)
