I would love somebody explains all scenarios....

If even only 5 delegates for example don't upgrade the chain will "survive"(?). So after the snapshot it will be still possible to sell BTS1.0 shares on the exchanges?  ???

Good question.

Are exchanges going to halt trading hours or day before until a few hours after to prevent mass selloff and confusion like pts was?

Let us do what bitcoin cannot: fork successfully into a new and improved version, with community consensus.

When we get closer to Oct 13 I will remove votes from delegates that are not on version 0.9.3 and will vote for alternate delegates which are on 0.9.3.

BitShares 0.9.3 has been released:  https://github.com/bitshares/bitshares/releases/tag/bts%2F0.9.3

This release will stop block production on October 13th at 9AM EST and adds new API calls for exporting the wallet for Graphene.   

If delegates do not wish to stop producing blocks at the stated date/time then they need not upgrade.   If you are a seed node then you do not need to upgrade. 

All delegates committed to transitioning from the existing BitShares network to BitShares 2.0 should upgrade their node(s) to 0.9.3, publish their version to the blockchain and be ready to produce 2.0 blocks using the Graphene codebase upon launch 13 OCT 2015. 

Stakeholders should watch each delegate's published versions (both active and stand by) and their statements below, then adjust their votes to support delegates that (will) produce blocks for the network they intend to follow after the announced hard fork time.  An updated list is visible at the bitsharesblocks website [1].

Stakeholders should take care to ensure their wallet client software and that of the third parties they may interface with also follow the chain of your choice after the hard fork.  These choices are yours to evaluate and act upon.  Decentralization welcomes you.
