Its quiet again and what do you know, they have now announced that it will inflate. The hard cap is gone.
Forcibly taken over PTS too and screwed their holders.
This is what happens when there is a brainwashed group with more money than sense. The best part was when their lead developer sold his personal stash at a high and made a million of those off his followers.
FUDers gonna' FUD.
To clarify your points:
Capital infusion (or share dilution) is coming in the form of allowing delegates to ask for X salary. In this way, developers and other workers can be hired directly by the DAC via stakeholder approval voting. No other system has this feature and I think it will completely change the nature of crypto systems by allowing BitShares to hire the best talent, paying them what they deserve & holding them accountable across the spectrum of stakeholders. That alone is worth MUCH more than the dilution incurred by increasing the supply, because the ecosystem will have much more fuel to grow. There will be a hard cap of the number of BTS produced per block, I believe at 50 BTS. The max possible dilution rate will be effectively lower than that of Bitcoin. On top of that, there is going to be hard fork approval voting eventually (
https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php?topic=10150.0) which will make the DAC self regulating. The stakeholders at large will essentially be able to vote on changes to the "constitution" or code. So now the DAC can not only employ people but also decide based on approval voting which new rules will be implemented.
PTS still exists, and the social consensus hasn't changed. What actually happened was that as new DACs were coming out (DNS and VOTE), the development team was becoming spread too thin. So the proposal to this is a re-consolidation of those DACs and their developers back into BTSX, which is going to be renamed BTS when the upgraded client is released toward the end of November. This allows the team at Invictus laser sharp focus on producing the best DAC they can, without having to compete within the ecosystem. Future third party DACs are still suggested to include PTS and AGS in their initial allocation as per the social consensus. Because the focus of Invictus is pivoting into building one super DAC, the proposal included an air drop on VOTE / DNS / PTS / AGS as a gesture of good faith. That way, those who were interested in just the features of one of those DACs wouldn't be left holding the bag.
So, there will be a total of 500,000,000 new shares air dropped across VOTE / DNS / AGS / PTS as a result of this refocusing measure, in order to fairly realign the incentives of all participants in the BitShares ecosystem. The rebranded DAC allocation percentages are 3% VOTE / DNS, 7% AGS / PTS, 80% BTSX.
