Title: Questions from a Dummy
Post by: thomas_dick on March 20, 2014, 02:54:03 pm
Hey, I've got a few questions/concerns, been trying to filter through the "status updates" and the "get your bitshares wallet here" sorts of threads but a lot of the discussion seems way over my head, so I thought I'd explain my situation and questions here.

So I took my PTS out of an exchange before the snapshot and have them in a Protoshares 0.2.0 wallet. But now I see this http://invictus.io/bitshares-pts.php "bitshares pts wallet 1.0.0" , but from what I can gather, this isn't the wallet that I need to import my PTS wallet into to claim my BTS or BTSX or whatever it is that I'll be able to claim? I don't know, I'm very confused, if someone could clear all this up for me, sorry for my incompetence, responses much appreciated, cheers.

bitshares-pts is just the new name for pts. I think the wallet directory moved to, but it's the same thing still.
Either (or rather, "it") is the wallet you will use to claim BTS (or rather units in the "parent" chain of BTS X, called XT) when it comes out

Thanks for reply, I'm still rather unclear though. If I understand correctly, you're saying the bitshares-pts wallet is where I need to import my old PTS wallet? Should I just do that now then? Or do I wait until BTS XT comes out?

You can import it now if you want to spend them. Protoshares is the same thing as biyshares pts. BTS XT is not out yet.

Bitshares PTS is just a rebranding of PTS. I am actually using the Protoshares wallet as I am too lazy to be bothered downloading Bitshares PTS one.
