For your AGS you should have received a vested balance in BTS. Import the private keys of your AGS donation into the BTS client and issue the following console command:

Code: [Select]

wallet_check_sharedrop

I did but nothing happens. Console listed my address with these: "original_balance": 912674406 but my balance is the same.

...waiting for the time I can short BTS using bitUSD as a collateral

I still find that concept bizarre. I now appreciate the use cases of shorting BitAssets with other BitAssets as collateral, but shorting BTS is just strange to me. Not because the short seller would want to short BTS (I get that), but why would someone want to go long?

I can't imagine the BTS shorted into existence using BitUSD as collateral (which I will call BitBTS) is fungible with real BTS, since it can be liquidated during a black swan into less BTS than its nominal value and I also doubt it would have voting rights. (Actually the idea of black swan happening to a BitAsset held as collateral for a short position of another BitAsset makes my head spin.) So given the fact that I have the option to either purchase BTS or BitBTS, why would I ever choose BitBTS given its disadvantages unless it provided a decent amount of interest.

So, is that the idea? That those who want to short BTS using BitUSD need to provide a decent amount of interest in order to attract BTS longs into holding BitBTS rather than BTS itself?

I have a recording of BM saying that shorting BTS will certainly never be allowed in BitShares as it breaks the max supply of THE underlying token.
I would be surprised if he changed his mind .. However, I am fine with having the option to short ANY bitAsset with ANY bitAsset as collateral ..
