Ok this thread has diverged, I have committed to an allocation and the other points should be brought up in new threads.

I suspect the only model that would get more general approval than the previous 20/20/5/5 is 25/25/5/5 but that would be a lower initial supply for devs.

please come to a decision toast. for pts holder it is not bearable. how can anyone expect to make an investment decision? i would love to give as much equity to pts and ags holders.

why should 101 delegates hold 50% of the whole equity? did someone explain it already why you choose this approach? or do you plan to increase the delegate base? in the moment i think i am really lacking some critical an impotant points to come to a decision. maybe you can say some more words about your thought and don't shuffle only the numbers around.

try this thread:  https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php?topic=6587.0

It's not 50% to 101 individuals, it's *up to* "whatever purpose we want".

What specifically do you hope to accomplish by launching a copy of the toolkit and calling it DNS?

I'm not trying to be a jerk, but what exactly has been accomplished toward DNS?  We had a video and short beginning draft of a whitepaper with some auction parameters and those parameters have apparently now been changed in the last month or so, but if there was an announcement I missed it.  I still haven't figured out the purpose of complex one-time auctions.  So now we are acting like we're ready for launch and you want to divvy up the allocation of stake in this well developed project?!  Where's the project?  I don't see it.

A lot of people will need to work hard to get a new DNS to get a network effect and fully reach its potential.  If you don't have a means to compensate that work and allow new people a way in, it won't work and will be overtaken by smarter competition making smarter business decisions IMO.

Want me to launch a test net? We can auction/buy/sell/transfer domains and set their values. That's all you need to start building the infrastructure around it. I had DNSchain modified and resolving .p2p domains for a previous version, won't take much work to update it. In fact we can hire the guy who originally wrote it for namecoin if we launch.

With delegate dilution + developer allocation we potentially have several million dollars to spend on developing the infrastructure required to actually build DNS resolvers. Without launching we have to go ask for outside money.

What's your smarter business plan? How much money do you need to execute it? We can probably afford it once we launch.

Also, the main network effect at the start is from KeyID + signin functionality, not .p2p. If the .p2p model fails it's ok, we have >50% of stake in the network and KeyID signin network effect to bring to whatever subsequent model we want.

I don`t think playing around with ags and pts allocations after announcing a snapshot is a trusting manner to the BitShares ecosystem.

The announcement was 10%/10%. Any change is strictly better for AGS and PTS holders. That said, I understand that it's annoying.

I think the only delegates that should get subsidy are those with over 25% approval.

Make it  7/24 (midpoint of 33.3% and 25%) approval and I give:
  +5%

I don`t think playing around with ags and pts allocations after announcing a snapshot is a trusting manner to the BitShares ecosystem.

It can only go up for PTS/AGS %, so I think it is fine!

Lack of arbitrage is the problem, isn't it. And this 'should' solves it.

I think the only delegates that should get subsidy are those with over 25% approval.
I think AGS / PTS allocation should be higher
I think share drops should be eliminated and up to the discretion of delegates / developer fund.

Better

Even better will be:
Good -15% each for AGS and PTS  (this is 60% of initial supply)
More- 10% for development  (this is 20% of initial supply)
Good- 10% for sharedrops  -  not just onto altcoins, but also onto organizations like student bodies or what have you
Less - Still 50% for delegates

Would have voted this proposal of yours perfect, if it not delegate subsidy but 50% for 'workers' - as in Agent86 proposal.

Feedback from last thread:

* 20% each for AGS and PTS might be too much (this is 80% of the initial supply)
* 5% for development might be too little (this is 10% of the initial supply)
* 5% for sharedrops might be too little

New proposal:

* 15% each for AGS and PTS  (this is 60% of initial supply)
* 10% for development  (this is 20% of initial supply)
* 10% for sharedrops  -  not just onto altcoins, but also onto organizations like student bodies or what have you
* Still 50% for delegates
