I am probably being incredibly dense - not unusual for me...
I have got together my PTS to purchase an ID and submitted my request.
I have now received an email with a PTS address to pay into.
Before I pay my questions are;
Is this address my own PTS address and where is it held?
Is there a GUI that I can see the PTS, which will be locked against the ID purchase?
If I don't get my ID or get out bid and my other choices aren't available do I get my PTS back or are they gone forever?
Will I be notified if someone else wants the same ID as me before Christmas day or not?
If there is no interface will I get some confirmation of my transaction for the ID?
I appreciate that these issues may have been covered elsewhere but I just want to be sure of the process.
I consider the idea of ID etc great - all information encrypted in one place under one ID - there are so many possibilities for this that it is very exciting.
I am quite a cautious person and wouldn't normally invest in a new idea like this, especially as I am not techie and don't understand half on what is being said ;D , however I think for a minimum investment it is worth it.
Hopefully someone won't mind answering my questions just to put my mind at rest.
Thanks

It is a receiving address generated by an ordinary BitShares wallet dedicated to your personal bid(s) for a specific Keyhotee ID.
Is there a GUI that I can see the PTS, which will be locked against the ID purchase?
No GUI. We are processing these manually since it is a one-time promotion that can never be repeated - not worth distracting our development team.
If I don't get my ID or get out bid and my other choices aren't available do I get my PTS back or are they gone forever?
IDs are not being sold. They are a small amenity, a thank you for people who make a significant donation to help develop the Keyhotee ecosystem. On Jan 1, 2014 anyone can get a free ID from Keyhotee on a first-come first-served basis. The Founder ID is for reserving special names that will be recognized by Keyhotee in a number of ways.
Will I be notified if someone else wants the same ID as me before Christmas day or not?
If someone else outbids you for a popular name, we will use any alternate names in the order you provide them. If none of these works (unlikely) then we will notify you by email a day or so after Christmas and give you a chance to pick another name. Bids are final at midnight GMT on Christmas Eve.
If there is no interface will I get some confirmation of my transaction for the ID?
If you want me to manually check on the status of your bid, I will be happy to do so. You can use the form or email contact.us@invictus-innovations.com.

Hi Stan
Thank you for your response and taking the time to answer my questions clearly.
The Founder ID is my Christmas pressie to myself, so I will be sending the PTS this week.
Cheers

As long as Invictus does not move the PTS to another address, one can use a block explorer such as BTSblock (http://btsblock.com/chain/ProtoShares) or Coinplorer (http://coinplorer.com/PTS) to see the PTS amount in the receiving address.
For example, for the forum donation address (http://bitsharestalk.org/donate.html):
http://btsblock.com/address/PforumPLfVQXTi4QpQqKwoChXHkoHcxGuA (http://btsblock.com/address/PforumPLfVQXTi4QpQqKwoChXHkoHcxGuA)
or

Thanks. I should have thought of that. We won't move them before Genesis Day.

Err... we won't move most of them, we do have multiple wallets and the default client does not give us control over which addresses are spent from. It doesn't matter if we move them because the blockchain will still document total PTS sent to the address independently of PTS sent from that address.
