So, now the cost of BTSX is 2$ a share at most (AGS funding via BTC).
Toast has pledged to prop it up to at least 5$. (I would probably do the same)
That's a 150 % gain in 4 weeks with the only risk being bytemaster & Co. doing the runner with 3 million $ worth in Angel funding

Has everybody run out of BTC or why are Angelshares so cheap at the moment?

you mean cheap compared to their future value or cheap compared to what they were 2 weeks ago?

I am very excited about the potentials for society and you gave a great talk on that radio station yesterday! Everyone should listen.
Some differentiation: Would you agree that consensus technology can make civil law (partly) unnecessary but not penal law. Or would you want to challenge the centralization of the right to use force by the state? If so how would you want to make sure a violant person (for example a killer) gets arrested?

A violent person would thus be in a virtual jail, living in poverty, until they voluntarily check in to a work facility that provides them food, shelter, and clothing while they work to pay off their restitution.

Hello.

I was wondering, what will Protoshares do now their claims seem so be a lie?

Quote

Over the last few months there has been a lot of talk about Protoshares. Protoshares is a CPU-mined coin, which uses a new Proof-Of-Work (POW) algorithm called Momentum , designed to resist GPU and ASIC implementation.

So, "What's backing your coin?"

BitShares PTS, unlike most other coins, is backed by something that is actually tangible - rights to shares in a whole family of crypto equities that are themselves designed to be highly profitable businesses.

Further, lessons learned in the momentum algorithm have led to the rapid evolution of technologies that don't require mining to secure the network.  Eliminating the costs of mining doubled the dividends that could be offered and increased the amount of equity in profitable new businesses that could be made available to PTS holders by a factor of five.

Further, the wildly successful AGS funding engine, raising $50,000 or more donations for the industry per day, has greatly accelerating the development, support and promotion of the ecosystem and is accelerating the launch of many new DACs for PTS holders to own. 

We are now able to sponsor a BitShares Developers Conference in Las Vegas on July 12-14 dedicated to spreading this technology to many more developers - further accelerating the growth of the ecosystem.

The value proposition of PTS is now easily an order of magnitude greater than the day it was launched little more than 10 weeks ago. 

Indeed you ask a great question:  "What's backing your coin?

Just exactly what does this mean ? What is a droplet ?

a droplet is a virtual machine from Digital Ocean. The guide on protoshares.com shows one way to mine and it happens to be on the cloud. If this is your first time mining, then I suggest you start mining locally first to learn about the process and be comfortable with it before spending more money on it.

There are other "pools" you can join to mine with your processor (CPU). It's a bit slow until you get to 1 PTS but you will learn alot along the way.
