Hi,

Are donations still being accepted?  Shouldn't it be closed now?

Or has the time been extended?

Ta

Thank you for that

Hi guys,

Is today the last day to get AGS?  The timer has gone from the website?

Thanks

Thank you for that,

Another question.  What times are a full day counted?  UTC?

Also, say I donated 100 PTS.  And so far there is someone who posts 400.  I assume the AGS bank is split?

from what I can tell:

2:  PTS / AGS - I'm lost.  Is PTS finished soon?  AGS only gained by donations?  Is it worth doing this (PTS donation).

You get shares of bitshares and future dacs from owning either PTS or AGS, they co-exist. PTS is not finished soon, they still get you future shares. AGS are only gained by donations. You can see if it is worth doing this by checking out one of the explorers (e.g., http://www1.agsexplorer.com/). You get > 1 AGS/PTS, which is good, and there are fewer (at the moment) AGS than PTS, so you get even more bang for your buck.

3:  Will PTS still be mined or BTS?
PTS are mined, BTS are not mined and are given to AGS and PTS holders at genesis block.

4:  When is BTS released?
Snapshot of the PTS blockchain and AGS donations will be taken on February 28th, and BTS XT will be released shortly after. It is essentially a release candidate that will become the official BTS release if it is stable. Trades on BTS XT can therefore be real trades, so treat them like real trades (not testnet).

5:  My plan was to invest into more mining hardware (CPU).  Shall I?
hard to answer, this is based on speculation. Do you think PTS will retain value/appreciate? There are GPU miners now too that may be more efficient as well. It's really hard to say what will happen to PTS after 2/28.

Thanks for that

Hi guys.

Been really busy over the last month and I would love an update if possible.

1:  Keyhotee.  I've downloaded a while ago.  is it now public or still beta?
2:  PTS / AGS - I'm lost.  Is PTS finished soon?  AGS only gained by donations?  Is it worth doing this (PTS donation).
3:  Will PTS still be mined or BTS?
4:  When is BTS released?
5:  My plan was to invest into more mining hardware (CPU).  Shall I?

I'm soooo dam lost.  Update please.

Thank you in advance.

What's the best ETA for Bitshares? I heard bytemaster say he's going to go in a cave for two weeks, but the change from POW to POS would mean a complete rework of the system. AngelShares gives them some money to get more coders, but all those people will need to be trained or caught up. I'm figuring we might be looking at around 6 months to a BitShares release. Especially since the security people still have to comb through everything. Does anyone have better estimates?

Bump.  Same, Estimated ETA would be great.

I concur. What is the approximate release date, tentatively?

I will have a working command line alpha wallet + blockchain algorithm this month.  I just checked in code that generates bids and short positions as well as transfers and builds a block chain.   I have to implement the bid/ask matching engine which I will have roughed in this week.   Now that I am focused entirely on this I hope to make rapid progress and will report in to this thread every day with my progress.

I'm asking mainly for two reasons:

1,  Gives me time to buy more PTS and plan ahead
2,  Setup more hardware for mining BTS.

Even if you said 6 month or 1 year then its something for me to work towards?
