I forgot to update the OP when the genesis.json changed.

Here's the real thing:
https://github.com/BitShares/bitshares/blob/master/libraries/blockchain/genesis_bts.json?raw=true

Could you recap what I should expect?

According to https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php?topic=10844.0 I'd expect

~99.27 BTS per PTS @ BTS-snapshot (175,000,000 / 1,762,887)
~13.24 BTS per PTS @ VOTE-snapshot (22,500,000 / 1,698,798)
~.0175 BTS per DNS @ BTS-snapshot ((35,000,000 + 35,000,000) / 4,000,000,000)
+some additional BTS for DNS moved from the genesis block before the announcement

I don't have any AGS.

What I see when I put my keys (using listaddressgroupings + wallet_account_list_public_keys) into https://bitbalance.azurewebsites.net/ is

~99.27 BTS per PTS @ BTS-snapshot
~5.79 BTS per PTS @ VOTE-snapshot
~0.0186 BTS per DNS @ BTS-snapshot
~0.0012 BTS per DNS @ BTS-snapshot

So PTS @ VOTE looks broken to me, and I don't understand the DNS @ BTS-snapshot numbers.

In the interest of having a robust system that can handle all of these situations gracefully I would like to propose that with delegate approval (majority vote) a BitAsset can be "reset" and all longs/shorts have their positions closed at the price feed.     Some protections can be put in place such as requiring a 2 week waiting period during which delegates can be voted out before the close out becomes official. 

How hard would it be the have DPOS-PTS claimed 1:1 for each POW-PTS you have proof of burn for? That way the two PTS are not spendable at the same time.

The simple answer is that No, PTS is not useless. However, it's not quite clear what PTS is: there is a team of people trying reboot a DPOS version of PTS, but they haven't decided whether they're going to use a snapshot of PTS from November 5th or whether they're going to use a future snapshot.

I'm trying to wrap my head around the effect of merchant adoption on bitusd.

With Bitcoin, this puts selling pressure on the Bitcoin price. Btc being converted to fiat by auto selling.


But how would this work with Bitusd or any other asset?

Let's say the merchant wants to convert their assets to fiat.
Would this result in selling pressure on the bitassets and thus buying pressure on BTS(x)?

To me this seems like block number 81578 is the one for the BTS/PLAY snapshot .. can someone confirm?
