Looks like it's not dead.
What Dan and the team have created is truly amazing...
It seems that when there are issues in the BTS ecosystem that cause waves, PTS still is considered one of the places people can go. It is as though the history and vision it represents still carries value for people.
This is a part of our history and what PC and bitcube have done with it makes them part of that history. More and more these days I think it's really amazing that even the chain that Dan and the BitShares team left still has value above most every other altcoin in existence..
