As a dev and as part of the team that tried to structure the SC i have the following to say
The Social contract is thus far optional, and is worded in such a way that offers no explanation and so devs will utterly ignore it. The bounty was cancelled, but i have been trying to stimulate conversation, sometimes provocatively so that the community comes up with good, informed methods of incentivising future devs to honour the contract. The "how" and the "when" i have already answered in the guide i wrote on how to honour it, but the "why" is still murky,. Everyone wants to claim a % of a DAC yet when asked why they say "the contract", the contract is a social agreement that is not binding because it is not signed. We have to produce mechanisms that make the advantages of honoring it clear and lucrative. Forum member toast and i have been hashing this issue out and trying to find common ground, he raised an important question... how much does a dev value the attention of the community? Adam also mentioned that the size of this community (active) is also a factor that should be considered.
I think it needs to be worded more like an invitation, a welcoming document that clearly highlights the advantages of working in that frame. The initial idea was to make it a software license however, i once raised the idea that it should be make applicable on the community as a whole, not just a code base. Hopefully the release of NRS will highlight this crucial point.
My answer to toasts question was incomplete, in a nutshell however, i have taken the position that i value a community members attention based on their interest in my project. If you take a look at the charting documents of my venture, they clearly state that even inside the collective, you are free to choose. This is my position and i use it to highlight the massive gaps between PTS holders, devs and Invictus. Devs want to create DACs, but they need the community to justify 10% stake clearly and concisely. Will those accorded 10% free help to create value? or will they dump/ burn the dev in the forums at every turn?
I tend to avoid mentioning AGS because it raises questions like, "So i have honoured AGS, can i have some funding now for my DAC?". My main concern is for PTS holders, the real holders of which have held for over 3 months and now feel supremely cheated. I believe a new valuation gardient between AGS and PTS may help to ease tensions.
