General Discussion / Re: Should we continue to funding mining of PTS?

It is better that I3 makes the announcement.
In the crypto world, 2.5 weeks is enough time. It's not like we're erasing PTS, just snapshotting it. Even if someone goes on vacation for a month and misses this, then:
(1) If they hold PTS, they'll have value returned to them, and
(2) If they don't hold PTS and wish they'd bought some, they still can acquire BitShares Genesis, which will be a liquid asset.
The only people 'out of luck' are those who want to profit short term from the rises and falls. And if they're into short term trading, then it's their fault they checked out for 2.5 weeks.
The rules are that snapshots give two week's notice. So if someone decides to do this, you've got several whole days left to make the announcement if you want to hit the Nov 5th anniversary date.
