Title: Getting caught up
Post by: kov on May 08, 2015, 06:47:22 pm
Hey All,

I am/was a pretty big supporter of PTS/AGS back in early 2014 prior to the launch of BTSX. I had more time to spend back then on keeping up with all of the developments in crypto...life happens, and I've been out of the loop for about a year. I'm still a pretty big holder of BTSX and PTS, and have no idea what's gone since last year. Do any of you have a recommendation on where to go to get a good summary of events that have occurred and developments in progress? Also, anything I should know about my PTS or BTSX? I know I've missed some snapshots along the way, so I probably have some unclaimed assets floating around out there...

Aside from the fact that we're getting beaten up on price support, I'm still a big believer in the project!

Appreciate any help.

oh my god I wouldn't know where to start...

1) download the latest BTS 0.9.1 version found here https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php/topic,7067.0.html . This will take c4 hours to download the blockchain

2) Create an account and ask from someone to send you some BTS to register it.I think there is a faucet for that.

3) Once your account is register, go to that account and import your wallet.dat file from PTS and BTC that you gave donations or have your PTS etc..

You should receive your BTS and NOTES. PLAY shares will be claimed later this year I think, unless you have donated to their crowdfundrasing..
Also on the BTS wallet you will see a section advanced when you can write some commands. Go there and write "collect_vested balances_"your account name". Some additional BTS will appear that you can claim on a daily basis. These relate to the merger of DNS and VOTE to BTS.

Finally, sell all your PTS in an exchange and buy more BTS. PTS are worthless imho. Hold all your BTS in your wallet, don't sell at these prices, if you can buy more NOW, forget about it for another year, come back next year and you will most probably be rich :)

@kov - if you need some BitShares to get registered, I can send you 100BTS for that (just send me your public key).
I can also send you another 1,000BTS if you know a second language: https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php/topic,16101.0/all.html
Just PM me if you're interested, thanx and Welcome back! :)

Right on - spent the last day and a half reading through things you guys posted...

mf-tzo - Thanks much for the instant feedback. Got my wallet up and running on 0.9.1 and claimed all my shares. I have BTS and NOTES now  :D

Stan - The post was both entertaining and informative. I'm more well-informed now, but still confused! More reading to do I suppose.

kenCode - Thank you for the offer, but I was able to get up and running and register a name with my claimed shares.


Many evolutions have occurred since my last review! PTS is now Bitshares PTS? BTSX converted to BTS?

Also up on the research list is the delegate election process. That clearly seems to have value. How does one go about getting votes to be a delegate?

Protoshares was rebranded to Bitshares PTS, and about 6 months ago it was upgraded to PTS-DPOS (i. e. the old proof-of-work chain was replaced with a new DPOS chain). See http://pts.cubeconnex.com/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page and http://pts.cubeconnex.com/index.php .


Also up on the research list is the delegate election process. That clearly seems to have value. How does one go about getting votes to be a delegate?

Check the delegates subforum (https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php/board,61.0.html). That's where delegates (and applicants) post their proposals and where the elected delegates (should) report on their work.

@kov: you could claim your 'new' DPOS PTS, but they're not worth much money (does anyone think this could ever change?)
