I think it's safe to say proto shares is completely dead  now due to the GPU miners?

Did bitcoin die when asics were announced? What about when gpus were first used?

and all this combined with a low value makes it really unprofitable to mine....

you are purely dillusion and have no concept of how it works around here do you?

Are miners the ones buying the currency? If its not profitable then miners hold value rises now viola its profitable again, magic?

Its the same thing as bitcoin.. There is always a crash after more effiient tech comes but the network becomes more secure as a result.. thats positive.

The low amount pts is positive and the fact that shares are given for every project is positive... Now if bitshares is what it claims to be then we are really undervalued.

Its not unheard of for people to be naive in their point of view, especially obviously coming from a miners perspective. Its normal for someone to think that there is only one path to a solution and not explore other paths in their mind, but its annoying to come onto the board and openly flame something which even as common sense would contradict the popular hindsight opinion of efficiency of mining in crypto currencies.. But to each his own, atleast he now knows and hopefully will learn.

Why static build? You think admins will like having to build dependencies over and over for multiple wallet nodes?

Have you considered a java cross platform installer that will install on osx/linux/windows using one installer? I did one for devcoin. using a web installer.

Will fees mess up tx between clients? is this a hard fork? If fees are less then old clients wont accept blocks mined with new clients?

Great questions.  I would suggest posting on the BitShares forum as Invictus pays out handsome bounties to people who help develop their software.

Not that Testz did a bad job but the more help on this project the better!

Yes.

This will be announced here https://bitsharestalk.org/
But if you wait for 2 March you will be safe.
