I am interesting in investing and collaborating on this Luckybit.

I have an honest question: Why are people so scared of PTS price swings? Yesterday's price drop was evidence that the market values BitShares XT; it reflects the fact that PTS after Feb 28 are literally worth less than PTS pre-Feb 28 because they don't entitle the bearer to BitShares X. Why is that scary?

I think the benefits of transparency (e.g., Invictus making public announcements of shapshot dates) far outweigh the benefits of a more stable price of PTS. Can you imagine the criticism Invictus would receive if we all wake up one morning and they announce that there was a snapshot yesterday? People who wanted in to that venture would feel cheated, people who didn't want in (i.e., wanted to sell pre-snapshot to reinvest at a lower price post-snapshot) would feel cheated; who exactly would benefit from this scenario?

Agreed.

Thank you for the attention to the matter Bo. Hopefully BTER can now sort out exactly where my PTS is as well.

That is good news from BTER, unfortunately, they have not given me such a response yet, but at least that makes feel a bit better.

I only have support@bter.com. Are you communicating with the same email? Or do you have another?

Even if they don't make good on this promise - the entire fiasco is baffling - I am hopeful the community/Bytemaster will decide to award the relevant BTSXT to us if we provide evidence. It will be easy to see what the relevant Bter wallets are as they will be inputs in the transaction (when they eventually happen).

Still, it doesn't put me in a good mood leading up to the big deadline.

I could not agree more. My excitement turned to anxiety today. However, it is certainly an issue such as this where Invictus can prove to us the advantage of what is backing their coin and hope they can provide a solution.

I have about 5 emails in to BTER today with no response.

so when you do listtransactions does it show up in your list?

if not, do you have all the latest blocks?

No, the transaction does not show up in my transaction list in my wallet, and my wallet is "up to date". Still no balance in BTER and no response from them either.

however it is probably more accurate to believe that there is a "run" on PTS at these exchanges and they simply do not have the coin in reserve, which if true is really a problem...at least for today.

I think that too.
Probably because almost every one is trying to get PTS to their wallets, bter is starving for PTS.

But how they can do transactions to our wallets (and have the TxID) with out having the PTS?,  If I try to do a transaction from a wallet with 0 funds, the wallet program don't even allow try it.

They do not need transactions, they will just claim BTS for all PTS on exchange (in their own wallet) and distribute it among PTS balance holders as coins on balance, not as real coins. Apparently you will then be able to withdraw BTS to your local wallet or leave it on the exchange.

That would be fine if the PTS was in my account on BTER, but I withdrew and received confirmation through a TxID from BTER, however there is no sign of it in my PTS wallet. So, no PTS balance in BTER and no PTS in my local wallet. Now, I can not even see my PTS withdraw history on BTER as they have suspended PTS trading. BTER has not responded to my emails yet.

So, I emailed BTER and they responded rather quickly however there is still no solution.

I have a confirmed withdrawl in the Withdrawl Records section of my account, but do not even have an unconfirmed amount in my wallet. So, I seem to be in a middle ground here. I have seen this  http://bter.com/article/177, but the issue is that my PTS is technically not in my BTER account anymore.

If this continues until past the deadline, it would be excellent if Invictus could make a statement to try and help by finding a solution and/or putting some pressure on BTER to find one.

I realize that I should have done it sooner, but I believe 48 hours should have been ample time, however it is probably more accurate to believe that there is a "run" on PTS at these exchanges and they simply do not have the coin in reserve, which if true is really a problem...at least for today.

I still only have version 1.0 Beta1 for Mac. Is it irrelevant at this point? Is there an update with a download link that is functioning?
