I think if you look at our bid we clearly stated that the six are temporary until dpos 2.0 comes around to which we would wind down to one or even none. We are just working within the constraints of the current setup... and why not create a little DPOS history? If more than two is so bad... how come btsnow has been voted in for several months with four? Do they need to be removed now?
Being decentralised is a key part of what makes a DAC valuable. BTS already takes heat for limiting the amount of decentralisation to 101 delegates, or 51 to gain temporary control.
With BTSNOW having 4, you having 6, Riverhead having 3 I think and many others having 2, the number of people that need to be targeted would be getting close to just 20. I personally don't think that is decentralised enough.
If your 6 delegates were in the top 101 it would draw more attention to this issue and I don't think the blowback & negative PR will offset the gains those additional delegates may bring. I also think now that BTS is on the rise again and looks to have clear skies till we evaluate the early June announcements that it is worth the risk. It's only my opinion though.
I don't think it was discussed in forums but in mumble.. but there is likely going to be a move in the future to make the witness network more dynamic in its operation. In other words there won't be a hard and fast 101 in and the rest on standby anymore. Instead it would be more dynamic and based on the needs of the networks transaction processing.
As you have noted already, we don't even have a true 101 as it is. In theory, this is bad. However, lets look at the reality of it. We still have nearly instant transactions, we haven't had any bad players attempt to destroy the network, and there hasn't been a conspiracy to collude as all the theories would be concerned with. Given that it going to happen with the communities support I don't see where this backlash would come from exactly. Again, I point to the existing 4 with btsnow.. I have never seen a thread of public outcry about that.
Just to be clear though, I don't have six yet.
.. HOWEVER, we do at PRESENT control 4. Two of the delegates we run are 3% however and are not really contributing to the project. It's been attempted in the past to ask people to change their votes from those to these new ones but not so easy.
Keep in mind, this all happened largely due to the market cap of BTS falling out from under us and leaving even a 100% delegate starving. $300 a month doesn't go far when you are paying out $50 a day.
If the market cap continues to rise significantly, this will help our project a great deal. However, thats all pie in the sky, and the need to move is now.
We all know DPOS 2.0 is just around the corner... so making some DPOS 1.0 history isn't going to blow anything up. It's all just temporary until the Three Branches of Delegation come into effect (TBD) with 2.0.
VOTE NOW!
