either i'm the only one with a good memory or most of you were not around when a similar situation arose.
there was once a coin called China coin CNC, it died, a horrible death after the devs failed to deal with this similar situation. Get off that high horse and realize that it's mining that keeps the chain moving and transactions confirming. This will continue sliding and loosing value, moreover if a new DAC was announced in the coming few days, miners would return and mine...the price will rise and so will the difficulty. After the snapshot, it will be abandoned again, this time with even higher difficulty and worse dumping because people will be expecting the price drop.
know that how you deal with the situation reflects on your commitment to PTS holders.
We are PTS holders...
We don't want to do a hard fork if we can avoid it. We don't want to divert resources from other priorities if we can avoid it.
Hopefully it will gradually recalibrate on its own until we reach 2,000,000 in circulation. Then we have the option to upgrade just once to our new BitShares standard which would eliminate these problems and perhaps add other TBD benefits.
We don't want
Well, we want it.
We don't want to divert resources
You'll have to either divert man power or funds. It's now unavoidable. You are clearly not mining, if you were you'd feel the pressure.
Hopefully it will gradually recalibrate
You clearly were not there when CNC lived and died... you have to
effect the recalibration. This is code, it does not understand, it only does as it is told.
TBD benefits.
right now it's about PTS, we'll cross the Bitshares bridge when we get there.
Stan, i've been into coins a while and i've seen what this does, it needs to be fixed and there is no explanation that can cover that up. I hate hard forks as much as any other dev but they are done for a reason, this is one of the most pressing reasons to effect one immediately. Trust me, your PTS will ebb away into nothing soon if people realize that you guys are not willing to update your code to be a bit more compliant.
No response can refute these facts, i have participated in too many coin revivals either as a holder or stepping in to assist copy-paste devs. Inaction for any reason whatsoever is toxic to trust and confidence.
If you start abandoning projects now or being complacent because of "indefinite future upgrades", lol watch the price plunge along with mass loss of confidence and trust in your group. Even the guy who did the coding for you
Freetrade agrees that this needs to be addressed.
