Is there a site like there was for AGS that shows daily donations?

I've imported pts wallets just fine into KeyID - here's the method for anyone not sure:

(1) Within KeyID, register your account name, then click on >_Console lower down on the left hand menu

(2) In the text box at the top, below Console, type:

wallet_import_bitcoin "c:\<your_chosen_folder>\your_pts_wallet_name.dat" your_top_secret_password your_keyID_accountname

The question I had was on the use of the File > Import wallet command, which imports a .json wallet. Is this just purely a way to backup KeyID wallet somehow, or does importing say a Bitshares wallet tie a founder account to that KeyID? How can you tie founder ID to KeyID wallet or is that required?

Amazing project. Any timelines set as yet? By the way, you might be interested in the links below. The idea is that desalination takes place in the greenhouse, its used to control humidity and for pest control - enables food production in very dry areas e.g. Somalia

Still working on timelines.

Thanks for the links!  These are super interesting - pgbit, do you have any affiliation with the project?

No I have no connection. I heard it about it on the radio, and looked it up! There was some mention of using a wind turbine to help control humidity / desalination process.

Are things working as expected now with LTS?

Create 2 rival chess DACS, that play against each other, to model / test how decentralised entities evolve and learn to attack / defend - i.e. not just on the chessboard.

why would 2FA not be worth adding immediately as an option on login, to reduce keylogger threat?

The burn rate is not signficant.  Likely whoever setup the feed for that # got tired of upkeeping the bitshares_client feed and just hardcoded in 2 billion.

Isnt the burn rate like 1000 a day?  Insignificant when you think of total of 2 billion.

Yes, completely insignificant. Not rocket science though, to get the number right. If minor stats are incorrect, how accurate is the rest?
