If the proposal requires a protocol upgrade, the proposal is considered *final*
only if shareholders have approved a corresponding worker or hard fork proposal.
* Discussion -- The BSIP shall include a discussion on positive and negative
effects on the BitShares ecosystem shall it be accepted by shareholders. This
section is supposed to be the most important section for shareholders to grasp
the full impact of the BSIP and help shareholders to make a decision.
How is this different from worker proposals?I guess a BSIP is a proposal for a proposal.
(1) Do I submit my idea for a BSIP here?Sure, go ahead
https://github.com/bitshares/bsips/issues
(2) When I initially submit an idea for a BSIP and I'm not sure at this stage ifBest would be to write your bsip in the recommended format already. Makes
it is doable - is it supposed to already comply with the official format? (i.e.
Preamble, Abstract, Motivation etc) Or shall we apply the official format once
it is discussed and validated as doable?
How is this different from worker proposals?A worker proposal is needed to find shareholder approval. A BSIP is just ONE way
Also, it facilitates cooperation between people with ideas and people who are able to turn those ideas into code.^^ THIS
As I understand it BSIPs are a more formal and detailed method of documenting aYes. Independent of shareholders or the community. At least that is what "I"
problem and describing a solution along with the positive and negative affects
of that solution on the ecosystem.
As I see it we move a discussion from informal venues like this forum, slack andYes.
telegram into more specific, detailed revisions like BSIPs and finally to a
formal worker proposal where it rises to the level of shareholder action.
BSIPs live in github so changes can be tracked and cooperation for editing /
evolution is opened to a broader audience.
I would like to see a "Minimum Requirements" section added to the BSIP
guidelines.
BSIP 5 for example was way too vague IMO. By the time informalYou input is VERY much appreciated!
discussions have evolved to a point where the issues have been hammered out and
specific action is warranted then it's time to move it to a BSIP.
I spent several hours yesterday reading and posting about the BSIP process.
