I strongly support dropping DVS on PTS, and I will downvote any delegate that rejects the PTS sharedrop.

To give an example of how negative it is for our community that PTS continues existing, the chinese translation of the official newsletter has decided to completely censor this because they know how terrible PR it is that circumstances once again are going to change.

The new PTS is a competitor to the bitshares community itself. It's not like PLAY or MUSIC, it is like NXT. It should not gain any official recognition or support by bitshares delegates, just like NXT doesn't get this.

There's no evidence that PTS gives good PR to BTS. On the contrary it's pretty clear that it's a sore thumb that pisses off a lot of people in this community, and once again, shouldn't be recognized the same way NXT recognized.

Sharedropping DVS to PTS/AGS post-buyout was just a terrible idea that was obviously bad for bitshares and i wish the bitshares delegates in charge of that decision will assure the community bad decisions like that won't happen again.

This is a sarcastic attempt at saying PTS is still getting unfair rewards after they diluted BTS 25%.

I fully agree, PTS and AGS should not exist anymore. We paid millions of dollars for their features to be rolled into BTS. Its simply not fair that they continue to get sharedrops, unless we also take the diluted 25% back.

But isn't that exactly the beauty of a free market solution? Third parties are free to allocate in a way that they feel brings the most value for their system. And if that includes AGS/PTS then great, so be it. Why don't you go ahead and invest in PTS then?
And if BTS brings more advantages as an airdrop target than PTS, then free market will figure it out either ways.

My problem is that dan, stan and others who have a fiduciary duty to BTS holders are promoting them, and that this board still has a PTS subforum. In the eyes of BTS holders, PTS should no longer exist. We paid explicitly to buy them out, and they should not get any support from the BTS community. If they still want to be the official bitshares sharedrop DAC, then the 25% dilution of our money that they received should be revoked.

I suppose you could say it has some vending machine type features but what I'm describing if you must call it a vending machine is a universal vending machine. Any demand which can be expressed can be pursued by your bots/drones/autonomous agent AI. Any supply which can be met by any business, autonomous agent AI, human being, will work.

So if on your wish list you demand a snickers bar then the autonomous agent AI would search the web for places which sell snickers bars and proceed to buy it. It would also be able to leave traces or trails which would be like hash tags for other autonomous agent AI to pick up so that businesses which supply the DAC will be able to pick up your demand basket via the hash tag.

So that means your autonomous agent AI could make trades via Twitter, Facebook, Skype, the telephone or whatever as long as the autonomous agent AI on the other end can interpret the machine language. This means if you wanted to buy an island you could do so if someone who has an island is willing to supply your demand. Your autonomous agent AI would negotiate the trade with their autonomous agent AI.
