It is sad to see the PTS name being used however this is a 3rd party dac, no direct relation to the main dev's of Bitshares. Since all PTS donations were returned to their original owners, the bts dev's will not make anything on this deal besides what they held from mining themselves. This could very well hurt bts if the launch and product is botched.
The BTS devs are quite clear that the PTS has their full backing. Otherwise that new PTS is just a sham and doesn't represent the original PTS, and so are lying in their announcement.
With merger they should've openly declared that PTS is dead to them. The fact that they are still trying to get more from it is quite concerning regarding their motivations.
