BitShares PTS (formerly ProtoShares) Mandatory Upgrade & Snapshot Announcement

[ruletheworld]

Hey all

Have not followed PTS or BitsharesX happenings since last year.  I have some PTS, but what exactly do I have?  Does each PTS hold more value than just the going rate on the exchanges? Does it somehow entitle me to shares of DACs? If so, how/where do I view these holdings?

Thanks in advance for any info

You can check what you have at http://www1.agsexplorer.com (at balance menu enter your PTS address).

Thank you very much for the reply!  I was surprised to find the PTS I mined and forgotten about - now I see I have BTSX and LTS as well...cool!

You'll have some MMC too, even if not worth a lot. Just FYI.

Is 2M the hard cap on PTS? or it will go above it at 1% inflation annually?

YPool still works.  Your a little late to the party and all the dev's attention is being placed on BitShares.

I'm sorry, but I'm not sure if I actually have to do anything at this time. I have a wallet called 'BitShares-PTS' with PTS in it. When I plug the address into agsexplorer.com I see a green highlighted entry of 0 AGS, and a number of blue entries for what seem to be other coins. The only one I recognise is Lottoshares (LTS), the others are BTSX, VOTE, DNS and NOTE. If I understand correctly all of these are going to be converted to a new thing called 'BTS'. The newsletter says "The hard fork from BTSX to BTS will happen later in the month. This will require nothing but a normal wallet update." So how do Angelshares come into this?

I note that the PTS snapshot was a few days ago, so what can I do with my PTS now? Also I note that Lottoshares development is dead, so can I do anything with them?

Do I just wait for the new BTS wallet to be released, or do I have to do the redeeming of BTSX (do I have any?) and LTS first?

Is there a really simple guide anywhere?

i recently withdraw PTS, after 5 hours still in 0 Confirmation condition, i'm also curious about the dev, are they take this issue seriously or.. they left this poject n doesn't care to all the investors   , with this current rate already lost 0.04 btc............ zip
