I am very excited about this enterprise. I can see it being very profitable if it takes off . BTSX and PTS in my wallet. if it is smart or not is still yet to be determined , but it sure feels like a smart move. Cheesy

Like testz mentioned, check out the bitsharestalk forum and discover your own opinion.

All I can say, really. For all the technological marvel, Bitshares marketing has been pretty poor and information is not that easily accessible. It also means that if you make a bit of effort you will be getting them at a discount than otherwise possible.

You are right ...
- marketing was and in some parts still is poor
- information was difficult to gather but now there is plenty of infor on the wiki.bitshares.org
- the last statement is absolutly true .. if you invest some little time to get what bitshares is all about you might gain alot by investing (legal: not an investment advice)

BitShares truly is the 'Berkshire Hathaway' of the crypto ecosystem. I was incredibly skeptical when I first heard this analogy used but after researching daily since last November... I really can't think of a better analogy.

This platform is the bitcoin killer, and I don't say that lightly. Think of any problem any other crypto has, and I'd challenge you to find out if its not solved through the BitShares platform.

The 3 MAJOR issues I believe BitShares has solved are:

Transaction times - 10 seconds. On the dot. No more of this 10 minute confirmation [ON AVERAGE!] B.S.
Volatility - With the coming advent of user-pegged asset markets; one can store their value, cryptographically, in an asset that has relatively low volatility in comparison to bitcoin (i.e. the US Dollar - this will be 'bitUSD')
More decentralized than bitcoin by orders of magnitude - there are what, 5 mining pools? BitShares secures the network through DPOS (delegated proof of stake), through 101 delegates that are elected. You choose the good guys, the bad actors simply cannot sustain their efforts. [also a hat tip to the US founding fathers...1776]

BitShares is your 'savings' to your bitcoin 'checking' and MUCH MUCH more. I cannot say enough good things about the core team and their efforts as well. Good people doing it for the right reasons, not hiding behind pseudonyms, because they don't need to.

Like testz mentioned, check out the bitsharestalk forum and discover your own opinion. You'll find me there.

A holder of a coin/share will always say "get in if you're smart". How about you tell us WHY to get in rather than TELLING us to get in.

Below are some usefull links to start reading/watching...
If you want my biased opinion which should not count for much anyway, bitshares by far has more potential than anything else.
Having said that, everyone should do their own research and decide for themselves...

If you hold BitShares PTS (formerly known as Protoshares) in your wallet 21th August

you will be given BitShares Vote and BitShares DNS.

When BitShares Vote and BitShares DNS launch, you import your BitShares PTS wallet's private key to receive your stake in each (instructions will be given).

This means that you should retain control of the BitShares PTS wallet until Vote and DNS launches.
This means that only the amount of BitShares PTS you held in your wallet at 21th of August will matter to how much stake you get in Vote and DNS.

Also note that this means that BitShares PTS price will fall immediately after August 21th,
as everyone who bought BitShares PTS just to get a stake in Vote and DNS will be free to sell their PTS.

Also note that BTER and BTC38 will take snapshot of your PTS for you, to make it easier for users,

If you want future DACs including the DNS and voting DAC, get some PTS before 21st Aug.

If you want BTS X, buy it directly.

If I deposited bitshares pts during the funding period, how do I claim my bitshares ags? I noticed they gave a claim form for those who deposited bitcoins, but didn't see one for pts depositers. Thanks.

Claim from Bitcoin and BitShares-PTS - the same procedure.
Please check the manual: http://wiki.bitshares.org/index.php/Bitshares-x-how-to
Last step in this manual - import Bitcoin/BitShares-PTS wallet.

That wiki deals with bitsharesX, not bitshares ags. Or are they the same thing. I still don't quite understand what is going on with this whole bitshares(x/pts/ags) thing.

Thanks for helping.

BitsharesX is a DAC that has already been released by Bitshares. If you held PTS or AGS at the time of release you were granted shares.

Now by holding PTS or AGS you will get shares in future released DACs.

However purchasing period for AGS is now over so the only way to get shares in future DACs is PTS.

AGS and PTS function the same except AGS is illiquid and PTS is liquid.

I've never had any trouble importing btcoin or pts wallets into the bitshares x platform. What error do you get when attempting to import?

I'm not actually trying to import wallets but different private keys. The first is my Angel Shares donation blockchain account, which won't import whether I use the GUI or the command line interface. The import happens, it takes place and rescans for about 10 minutes, yet no funds are added.

The second problem is trying to move BTSX from Bter. Bter is telling me my bitshares account isn't registered when it definitely is.

And just to make sure... your AngelShares donations happened prior to the Feb 28th deadline?

Angelshares or Bitshares-PTS(Protoshares) you got after Feb 28 can't give you any btsX, you will get a share of all future dacs(DNS, VOTE, MUSIC, etc...) that have a snapshot date after the day you got your angelshares.

I had the same problem with Bter but after some time I managed to move my funds, If you still have problem send them a "ticket"

Ahh... ok, thank you. I appreciate it.

I can't believe I didn't figure this out at the time.
