Title: [ANN] BitShares-PTS Dry Run #1 launched
Post by: pmconrad on December 03, 2014, 10:13:13 PM
We are pleased to announce that we have just started dry run #1 of the new PTS client software.

We invite all interested parties to participate in testing the new network.

* Currently only the CLI client is available, GUI will follow soon.
* Specs are as announced previously ( http://pts.cubeconnex.com/index.php?topic=43.0 ), but not necessarily final.
* Source code is available at https://github.com/PTS-DPOS/PTS .
* Genesis block uses PTS snapshot from 2014-12-02, scaled to 1 billion PTS.

Among other things, we want to specifically test our new feature:

Secure genesis claims

It is now possible to claim genesis balances without importing private keys by means of the new "wallet_import_by_signedmsg" command. A description of the idea can be found here: http://pts.cubeconnex.com/index.php?topic=37.0

We are looking for initial delegates!

In order to achieve good decentralization right from the start we hope to find volunteers for running initial delegates from dry run #2 on. Details are described here: http://pts.cubeconnex.com/index.php?topic=48.0 . Please help us make the new network secure and reliable!

Build and run

Code:
git clone git@github.com:PTS-DPOS/PTS.git
git checkout dry-run-1a
git submodule init
git submodule update
cmake .
make pts_client
programs/client/pts_client

PTS is originally a PoW coin launched on 2013-11-05. You can still mine it until 2014-12-14.
Then it will be switched to DPOS and can no longer be mined. This dry run is a test run of the new DPOS-based PTS client.
