Title: Can we just move PTS to DPoS?
Post by: Method-X on September 15, 2014, 03:32:17 pm
Either move it to a new blockchain using DPoS or issue it as an asset on the BTSX blockchain (would have to be snapshotable).

Mining PTS doesn't make much sense.

 +5%, needs to be done ASAP. As discussed MANY times on this forum and elsewhere.

I just bought some PTS yesterday... would a transition be smooth / would I lose my stake?

Seconded. The POW nature of PTS is very bizarre.. surely it should be using DPOS by now?

It'll be smooth unless your PTS are on Cryptsy...

PTS is based on proof of work mining, I'm suggesting we announce a snapshot and move it over to delegated proof of stake.

Do it!!! Please!!!

I imagine a future PTS where the delegates are development teams for new DACs - the fees helping fund the development. Only good can come from this change!

Any word on whether anyone has forked a generic BTS Toolkit? I assume this is relatively simple to do, and I would think the DNS and Vote DACs had to do this already. I'm really suspicious about why this is taking so long...

Probably because they're all still working out kinks in BitShares X. Once that is set, I think some of the talented developers will be freed up do address other projects.

testz - I guess I assumed this would be your primary responsibility. Are you working on this, or will you be waiting until toast or some other DAC developer does it? Invictus already stated they will not be doing this. Not much guidance on who is responsible for this, other than "wait and see."

Nobody is responsible for it. If nobody has done it when I help do the vote proto-dac then I will start that process. Until then anyone is welcome to do it. Please take care to do it smoothly though, like alerting exchanges and such

One of my biggest failings has been to ever understand what is the big problem with this PTS matter...

yehh, cool 'DPOS PTS'... but to what end...

For those who still need to get their share of upcoming BitShares DACs, there should be a simple vehicle for doing so. Since AGS ended, that is the sole function of PTS, which is forever embedded in the Social Consensus. Moving it to DPoS would remove the need for mining and presumably make it more effective at holding some value.

EDIT: Plus, if we are telling everyone that DPoS is the best system available, then we should walk the talk with PTS also.

As I written before, unfortunately I'm not familiar with BitShares toolkit, and can't move PTS to it (sure I can try, but probably as you, I prefer wait and get proper and 100% working PTS on DPOS).
But I can and I will support all other things except PTS DPOS development, like alerting exchanges, launch support, nodes, changes of coinmarketcap.com, etc.

This is why I'm waiting for toast, but as toast says, if someone from our community has enough knowledge and can make PTS on toolkit, let's me know, we will start.

I agree with tonyk current PTS doesn't have a problems, the only reason to move to DPOS it's to move from miners and probably PTS holders will get additional value.

BTW, yes, I responsible for current BitShares PTS implementation, nodes, block explorer, problems solving, etc

Let the dev's focus on BTSX for the time being while all 2 million PTS are mined.  While it would be nice to have it tied in at the moment it is not the best usage of the dev's limited time.
