I have quite a few PRT on various exchanges and my wallet, and I don't check these forums all too often. I guess I would be one of those recreational investors. In fact I just made a bitcointalk account today, and I randomly decided to read this thread. So as an investor I could have easily missed this announcement and all my coins would have gone to waste. I am a huge fan of this coin and wallet, and perhaps upgrading to PRT X is a nice idea, but it sure is unfair to give investors a deadline to swap coins. I am sure many more investors are in my shoes (not very active in these forums and don't stay tuned to crypto news on a daily basis or weekly basis) and would just feel screwed over in the end. Also, how would we swap our coins? Through exchanges? Excuse my newbness.

I think the concern was over how open ended it would be. The swap is done by sending your PRT to a special PRT exodus address. A script then sends PRTX back to your PRTX address. Have to write up all the details, but essentially your address stays the same, you export/import your private key from old to new and we run a bot that does the swap. On the one hand having a deadline would make sure unclaimed coins aren't just sitting out there forever, on the other it is an issue for folks who are long term holding and don't check up on news or run the wallet very often so they might miss a broadcast message. The Exodus addresses will be public and trackable so I don't think we have to worry about unclaimed coins disappearing into the ether. I think we will be able to do this pretty smoothly.
