We have a version of Keyhotee ready that will allow Founders to register their Public Key / ID, but my Windows team is taking the New Year off so we will have to wait until they compile a binary for everyone to use.   This will be a special addition that will not have the rest of the features of mail enabled/supported. 

Taking the New Year off?!?     So we can expect it sometime in 2015? 

Just thought I'd throw this out there also...

For determining who could broadcast a block, why not aggregate the transaction source addresses and hash that aggregation, then require that the broadcaster's public key hash be within n units of it in order to broadcast, where n is the number of coin days he is destroying, and the magnitude of the unit increases with time since last block?

Stan,

This thread seems to be poorly named.  You seem to be arguing that "The ideal mining pool" is a traditional centralized IPO.  IPOs are great for many businesses, and you could certainly argue that an IPO would have been more efficient for getting Invictus' DACs started than PTS, but what you're describing doesn't seem to have much to do with mining, and wouldn't be as inclusive and encouraging of third party DACs honoring the PTS social contract.

That's much better.  Hopefully anyone else creating Protoshare honoring DACs copies that functionality.

Thanks!

I just wrote a guide here: https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php?topic=1596.0

1.  Open your Protoshares wallet and open the debug window from the help menu.

2.  Switch from the information tab of the debug window to the console tab.

3.  Type:
     walletpassphrase YourPasswordHere 600

4. Type:
     dumpprivkey YourPTSAddress

5. Note the string of characters output after the last command.  This is your wallet key.  Guard it with your life.

6. Open the new DAC wallet and go to the console tab of the debug window as you did with the PTS wallet.

7. If your new DAC wallet is already locked, type:
     walletpassphrase YourPasswordHere 600

8. Copy your PTS wallet key from the PTS wallet window, and in the new DAC console, type:
     importprivkey YourPTSWalletKeyHere

9. Done.  If your new balance does not show up immediately, you can close and restart the new DAC wallet to rescan and find your balance.

Do you mind providing txids?
