Personally I think the most innovative thing Invictus has created is Protoshares, an alt coin that actually gives you a reason to hold it because on a set date it gives a thing to whoever holds it.
That is a huge advancement and whether or not Bitshares works, Protoshares is going to have an enormous impact on how altcoins are made moving forward.
Agreed. Bitshares may or may not work, but looks like Protoshares, more or less, does work. Considering its short life to reach the maximum (2 years), I am curious to see how the value will be when all of it has been mined. How will that affect the exchange rate with BTC, hash rate of the system, transaction fees, etc. It could give a primer on things to come when other coins reach their maturity.
