Read the site and forums for all the answers...the forums has more details by the creator.
http://invictus-innovations.com/http://bitsharestalk.org/index.phpThe creator of the protoshares/bitshares/etc. is very active in the forums there. I personally think good of it although I started late in the game from the initial (2 weeks).
1.) Unsure about that...not really into the techy stuff.
2.) There are many users that have started mining the coin that think positively of it.
3.)

5.) They still developing the website. I think lol...
6.) Think they have some chinese investors or something like that.
7.) I enjoy them, as they all seem reasonable.
8.) There are according to the site I believe 2 million ProtoShares prior to them releasing BitShares, which is supposed to be within 2 years I think?
9.) The Keyhotee thing is hard to explain...I really don't see a use for me with it though but can see other's have some value in it.
The only thing I really understand well is how PTS(protoshares) relate to things like BTS(BitShares) and the other DAC's the company releases.
Where it goes 1 PTS gives you 1 BTS when it comes out, and it doesn't replace the PTS but BTS acts like a dividend on top of PTS.
