It allows the blockchain to be pruned and incentivizes voting.

Maybe I'm missing something, but:

• How exactly does having you move your BTSX encourage voting?
• What exactly is 'pruning the blockchain', and how is it beneficial?
• Does the client give you a warning a while before you need to move your BTSX?

Just for clarity, to avoid 5% inactivity fee, can we just move 1 bts around from each account - or do all bitshares need to be moved each year?

ALL need to be moved

What's the point in this then?

Does the client give you a warning a while before you need to engage in this pointless exercise?

so I send it from one bter account to another?

In case of exchange, avoid 5% inactivity fee will be exchange responsibility.
Your should do it only if you have BTSX in your wallet.

thank you for the knowledge

You will have to send them to yourself at least once a year to avoid that 5% fee.

I was reading the FAQ on http://bitshares.org/faq/

It said "What fees are charged to users of BitShares X?...5% inactivity fee is assessed to every address that has had no activity for a full year"

What does this exactly mean?  Will I lose 5% of my BitShares X by just holding them or ?
