I strongly oppose keeping the unmined pts for "marketing" and suggest scaling existing pts holding up to 2 million as was the original plan.
Past marketing spending does not give me great confidence =[
Do you mean distributing the new coins to current PTS-holders? If so, then you can't do that, because you will be screwing over the AGS-donators big time. Especially the ones who donated PTS to the AGS-funds. And to be brutally honest, ags-funds paid for the DPoS-technology directly not the PTS-holders, who are mostly betting amongst themselves how much of a free ride they'll be getting
.
After all the discussion I still see only 2 options:
1) distribute evenly between AGS (both pts and btc ones) and current PTS-holders
2) Use the 15% coins to increase the value for all parties involved, such as a marketing campaign, although the dollar-value is peanuts by today standards. Maybe a faucet, air-drop, charity, marketing doesn't mean it should be purely greed driven and if possible should be done by community vote (but that probably won't be feasible).
Number 2 sounds more impressive to me (pun intended) and
could help things get off the ground, but as Toast pointed out, it should not be done in the way marketing has been done up till now by Invictus/bitshares. Nothing personal, but PR, marketing and community involvement needs some major attention after launching the first DPoS-chains at the very latest.
