I was under the impression that PTS entitled the holder to a stake in ALL future DAC's
PTS entitles you shares to ALL future DACs as long as you keep them in your wallet during the relevant snapshots or if the exchange that has them during the snapshot honors you with those shares.

I'd be upset if Bter received future 'coins' from my original PTS that they didn't pass on to me.
No one has yet received any other shares from future "coins" since the snapshot for those "coins" (DNS and Vote) is on the 21st August.

BTER is one of the exchanges that honored the 28th Feb snapshot and therefore you have received your BTSX from that snapshot on the specific day.

BTER said that it will honor the current snapshot of the 21st August. This means that if you keep your PTS on BTER during the snapshot you will receive the relevant Vote and DNS shares upon release. Unless of course BTER defaults by then or for some reason decide not to honor you with those shares.

Quote
If they're worthless, does that mean pre Feb 28 PTS are worthless to people who had them in their own wallets on the snapshot date?

All that matters is how many PTS people had in their wallets at the specific time of the 28th Feb snapshot. It doesn't matter how much you had one minute earlier or 1 minute after the snapshot. Those people who had their PTS in their wallet at the time of the snapshot are entitled to BTSX which they can claim on Bitshares X platform. Same applies for the PTS held on BTER during the snapshot (you did receive your BTSX in BTER because you had PTS there at the time of the snapshot)

Please let me know if something is not clear so I can further elaborate.

P.S the 21st August is not the last snapshot. There will be other snapshots days not yet announced for Lotto, music, me, insurance etc..

Thanks for the replies! What I really want to know is if I had withdrawn my PTS from Bter exchange into my own wallet, would those PTS coins be counted in the next snapshot? If that's the case, then I'd be disappointed at Bter not letting me withdraw them, but if they're not, then I'm no worse off than if I'd had them in my own wallet, as Bter did credit me with some BTSX.

I was under the impression that PTS entitled the holder to a stake in ALL future DAC's, and if that's the case I'd be upset if Bter received future 'coins' from my original PTS that they didn't pass on to me. That's why their support response that the 'PTS_S are worthless tokens' confused me. If they're worthless, does that mean pre Feb 28 PTS are worthless to people who had them in their own wallets on the snapshot date?

I love bitshares, but man, it's confusing as hell compared to many other coins (that does make them cool though)!

I have been awake just a couple of hours so my brain is not working yet...
Same issue here ..

maybe I missunderstood the concerns here .. I think I made everything clear to consider when keeping PTS on an exchage and that the PTS_S (snapshotted PTS) on an exchange are worth nothing (supposedly) after the genesis for the snapshotted DAC is release ..
That's all I wanted to make clear :)

Actually your concerns are not really necessary .. Each snapshot usually is used just once (except the dual snapshot this week, which could also be interpreted as 2 single snapshots at the same time :) )

Every DAC has a new snapshot on PTS/AGS .. once snapshot is taken and genesis block is released the snapshot PTS on the exchange are worth nothing as probably no future DAC will use an 'old' snapshot to initialize a new genesis ..

Ony - might happen - concern your might have is if a blockchain has to be reseted (for whatever reason) .. then it is the duty of the exchange to also follow the reset ..

Sorry Xeroc but are you talking to me? What concern? my only concern is about bitcoin - fiat exchanges and I am looking for the more reliable out there...I know about the snapshots and about PTS_S on bter and I understand about the blockchain reset but maybe you mean something else with the above that I misunderstand..  ::)

If I keep PTS on bter during the 21 snapshot BTER will honor those shares and if I do not sell them and for whatever reason I keep them in there (I am not that crazy just saying..) BTER will most probably use them to honor the next snapshot as well, correct? Or are you trying to say something else?

I have been awake just a couple of hours so my brain is not working yet...

What you say is true: don't leave anything of value on exchanges when you are not actually trading. But Madcow was talking about "PTS_S" which, as Xeroc explained above, no longer have any value at all, and should just be deleted by bter.

I know. I just found it a good opportunity to warn people about exchanges in cryptos and just kept writing.. Last couple of days I am thinking to buy some more BTSX and I am afraid to do that because I don't want to put fiat money to any bitcoin exchange... and time is passing, BTSX is rising and by the time I decide to put more money BTSX will have skyrocket...

Does anyone has used bitstamp lately after they changed their bank? Or Kraken? or any reliable exchange I am not aware?

but if Bter closed down how would I claim my future shares in new DAC's? I missed withdrawing before feb 22.

Beware of all the exchanges in crypto... I have a feeling that many will close soon (BTC-e, bitstamp). All crypto investors should understand sooner or later that decentralised platforms like bitsharesx is the future.  I suspect that huge drops will happen in bitcoin and all alts due to exchanges defaulting, people who got into crypto to make easy money will lose their money and only the ones that truly believe in decentralization and truly in cryptos will remain..when this happens, bitsharesx will skyrocket but then again we will have bitusd and no one in here will care to convert back to usd...

Do not leave in exchanges what you cannot afford to lose!

Is there any way to withdraw PTS_S from Bter? I asked there support and they said "PTS_S" is just a 'token', but if Bter closed down how would I claim my future shares in new DAC's? I missed withdrawing before feb 22.

Are my PTS forever stuck inside bter now?

PTS_S is a snapshot of what PTS you HAD over there on 28. of Feb. .. nothing else .. this does not resemble any value anylonger ...
you have received your BTSX initial shares from those PTS_S ... your will NEVER EVER be able to withdraw "pts_S"!

BTER.com could also remove it IMHO
