@gil_brenner check your wallet

With the risk of sounding like a beggar, can you lend me 1 BTS?

I ended up at this post by googling/searching for a solution to a problem similar to the one OP posted. I transferred BTC into BitShares DEX to get something called Open.BTC with huge transfer fee only to find that I can't trade it to BTS... because I don't have BTS (what?). So now it seems I need to buy other BTC and send it with the cost of another high fee to buy BTS from some other place and have that transferred to my BitShares wallet.

I honestly don't get it. Is not BTS bitshares.org's own coin? I mean can't the BTS fee be retained from the exchanges made to BTS? I don't know maybe I'm too new at this, just asking.

Anyway, I would appreciate your help. Scouts honor I would give it back immediately!

Thanks
