I got this working first time no issues on ubuntu https://github.com/InvictusInnovations/ProtoShares/blob/psforkinit/doc/readme-qt.rst

cheers

I guess my question was more on the lines of, is that functionality implemented or still being worked on?

Had a flick through it last night to see anything to credit pts wallet.dat but not there yet unless it's on someone's PC yet to be committed. I'm hoping to solve this problem before the launch of keyhotee

I had a bit of a cursory glance to see if there are any BT exchanges in SA and noticed they exist. Was weighing up putting all my cash for when I head over there into a crypto then withdrawing it over there in RAND as it could be cheaper then exchanging the traditional way here.

I don't like the idea of centralising anything at any point especially programmers because the group could ultimately be held liable for the actions of the DAC.

As you say a coder may only be holding 0.0001% of a stock and there is no motivation for them to program, however if they really think it's a good idea then they can invest in the protoshares and gain a bigger stake. If they truly believe in the idea they will feel that the cost of buying a stake will result in a profit for them. If the price of the shares has risen out of their range this would probably suggest that there has been major progress within the DAC community and coders are already at work on final products.

The DAC coding should be looked at as a community process just like any open source project, hundreds of people contributing to the one source code to come to a final end. The more coders working the less each coder will need to do (in theory...practice is another thing which would assume all code is commented correctly and in a way that can be understood by all).

Ultimately I feel the issues you are raising are ones that a final DAC will have to handle but I don't think centralising the ownership to the developers of the software is a good idea if we want to eliminate liability and regulation.

Ok I've updated the thread title to reflect what I'm up to, I've started writing down all my ideas and those contributed here and in other threads. Should have all that worked through to a stage where we can build off it to improve the initial ideas and actually start implementing a system.

All going to plan a certain cytro-currency which may or may not be useful for this will appear in the next two weeks. I'll use this thread to keep everyone up to date and please send me all suggestions, although it'll be best once a community site focused on this particular project "appears"
