BTS is a stand alone DAC. It uses the tool kit and share dropped PTS/AGS (a few times) to honor the social consensus. To me BTS is square with PTS/AGS and shouldn't even be a part of this discussion.
If you want to keep getting your beak wet from those that adopt the tool kit then buy PTS like before. We can't just keep demanding share drops to whatever great new project that core devs are working on and we decide to reallocate our portfolio to. Yes BTS is contributing a lot to the toolkit but so may future DACs.
The bigger picture here is not about previous owners of PTS getting handouts or not. It's about setting a precedent. Can an existing PoW token adopt the toolkit, honor the PTS/AGS social contract, and still be considered the same token?
If the answer is yes than we will see a lot more people willing to adopt the toolkit and get out of mining. If the answer is no they'll fork the toolkit anyway and go on their merry way.
IMHO PTS has more than paid its dues to the toolkit and converting PTS to the toolkit it helped create just seems like a natural progression.
P.s: As a side note, reading through my previous posts, I seem to come off as angry or upset with some members of the community. I'm not and apologize I come off this way. It's just something I'm passionate about and enjoy the spirited conversation cutting the path to the future. Everyone here is passionate too and are some of the greatest minds in the industry.
