I have given Valentine, Nathan, Vikram, and Toast each 30K PTS so they have a vested (literally) interest in seeing BTS grow.

We are very much into "no contracts" and "trust based" allocation of resources.   Each of these guys has proven their loyalty to the project and the greater cause and their passion is undeniable. 

You want independent developers making decisions and I have selected these guys as an independent team that I want to have financial independence.

They will be taking paid delegate positions, but I am limiting it to one delegate each which at 30K/year is only 20% of what they could be making and takes nothing into consideration for the extra risks in this industry.   

In other words, giving them the funds makes things more secure and further decentralizes the process.

but 30K PTS not only means the right to have a vested interest in BTS, but also means the right to obtain shares of 3rd party DACs. The chinese community have noticed this point and thought this would confuse the message to the market. Because anyone can spread words like 'the core devs would have incentives to support 3rd party DAC, rather than BTS'

I am of the opinion that an upgrade of this sort needs an entirely new name.   

Pollyshares powered by bitshares toolkit. 

I kindly request that we not confuse the bitshares brand. 

I will also suggest that launching this will require significant dev resources just for maintenance.

For the record, I disagree with the proposal

  to you both.  I honestly don't think this proposal has enough merit or support amongst its own community let alone others to thrive.  Enough of this proposal, instead I propose we have one final celebratory air drop and go out with a bang!
