AGS and PTS snapshot on Feb 28 - bitshares x test

[FelixO]

thanks bytemaster!

After Feb 28 AGS investors will have a hard time making decisions, especially for investment in BTC. If the first testnet becomes successfully,  the AGS obtained in Mar and later gives you no BTS.

Do I understand this correctly?

If I want Angelshares that are awarded with BTS I need to purchase (via donation) them definitely before Feb 28, correct?

What happens with donations that are sent out after this date?

We have a road map with dozens of DACs and the donations after that date will count toward them.  There will be many BitShares X chains and you will get a stake in them.    And obviously if our test chain fails, then there will be a new snapshot for the second test chain we launch.

If Feb 28 is the final snapshot, then AGS is converted to BTS at about 3.5:1.  Every fail means a new snapshot is taken and the ratio lowers.  Correct?

Exactly.

Yeah, lots of incentive to get it right the first time

so nobody know which version will success.
I have no courage to test the function by buy or sell my bts. maybe tomorrow the price is totally different.
All I can do is do nothing before I know it is success.

Yes, we are preparing a mass mailing on this topic.  If BitShares X Test is successful we will simply drop the Test from the name, if it fails in some manner that is unrecoverable then a new snapshot will be used.   Thus the value of the BTS (and BitUSD etc) in the test chain must factor in probability of catastrophic failure and reset of the chain.  It should go up over time as the likelihood of failure decreases. 

This process of launching test networks that "might be final release" networks will continue until all bugs are found.  This is necessary because for a test network to function it must have a non-0 value otherwise bitasset evaluation results in divide by 0 errors.   

Note that having many parallel chains was always in the plan and a version 2 chain with variable interest rates set by market forces will come out later as well.  So some bugs that result in the launch of a new chain may not mean the complete death of the initial test chain.  If the initial test chain has any residual value or can be 'patched' then it might take on a life of its own.

very confuse...
 

How can a clarify?

You can test with only a little bts.
The price will remain irrational, and as the possibility to success goes up, the price will continuously become more and more rational. Everybody has time to adjust.
After all, testing only a little is safe.

bytemaster,辛苦了，我们很期待！

Does this mean keyhotee genesis block is definitely before feb 28th, since keyhotee private keys get some BTS?

It better be or I will have some words with Dan N.

I would like to avoid the legal implications of such an approach.
