When I saw you whining on polo about buying pts, I actually felt kinda bad for you. It would suck if someone hadn't done any basic homework and had lost money because they had based their decisions on outdated information.
So, if I acquire more PTS, it will still count towards the future DAC's(minus BTSX)?
This is damned exciting. This dac is one of the first things that attracted me to bitshares.
You bought BitShares PTS because you thought BitShares DNS was going to be big, and now you're trying to shit on me for being fooled by BitShares.
How many weeks did BitShares DNS exist?
Okay. Lets start with your quote from July of last year. You didn't actually quote me correctly. You quoted the person that I responded to. The full quote is below.
What's the difference between BTS X vs BTS XT? Or are they the same product? Where are the other DAC's?
If any newly mined PTS, will that get more BTS X or was that only for the Feb 28th snapshot only?
X is the official chain. XT is the test network. There was some talk of naming a stripped down chain designed to do nothing other than get the 2-28 snapshot liquid, XT. Newly mined PTS will not get you any BTSX, but there are more DACS coming.
So, if I acquire more PTS, it will still count towards the future DAC's(minus BTSX)?
Correct.
As you can see I was responding to someone with questions and answering that question in the moment. Their question was "So, if I acquire more PTS, it will still count towards the future DAC's(minus BTSX)? You will notice that they did not say
"if I acquire more PTS, right now or in the near future, and assuming that nothing untoward happens such as nuclear war, civil war, meteorite strikes, supervolcanos, marshal law, and or any other world shattering disaster, or act of god then it will still count towards the future dacs.(minus BTSX)? and can you promise that this is the case and will never change."
Of course they wouldn't say that. All of those things are implied in the question. My response "Correct" Also did not contain any of the myriad of possible things that could prevent PTS from being used as a snapshot. My words were true when they were said, even though they did not contain a disclaimer about all possible outcomes. I was attempting to communicate with speeddemon, and I believe successfully did so. Whats more PTS purchased at that time was in fact used as a snapshot. My words were true and if speeddemon had listened to me and purchased pts he would now own bts, notes, and soon to be identabits (I have probably forgotten a sharedrop target) If someone reads this response 14 months later and doesn't check to ensure this is still true then it is their fault for not doing their own due dilligence.
In regards to DNS, It is one of the main things that initially attracted me to bitshares. I still think using centralized systems that are not censorship resistant is a huge threat to our security and safety. I am still hoping that someone will solve this issue in a more satisfactory way than namecoin has. That is a far cry from

This quote is demonstrably false runpaint. Why did you lie runpaint?
I hope this exercise will demonstrate why your method of pulling up ancient quotes out of context is a dirty trick that should not be directly responded to. It takes far more time to respond to these attacks than to carry them out. Even when the attack is ill formed, and weak. If you would like your system of attacking to be more effective in the future I would suggest you only quote old things, and never respond directly runpaint. It was your responses and gross misrepresentation of what happened in this thread that led me to stop taking you seriously. The problem with negative attack ads is that the viewer can end up taking a negative view of the attacker instead.
