Be patient...it is working on the MAS.
If you want it anytime before that.... you " need to learn how to get organized, find talent (developers), and fund development of the projects they want to see developed. This is your problem,"
I suggest that you not let the outspoken shareholders hold you hostage. They claim you are holding them hostage, but that couldn't be further from They need to learn how to get organized, find talent (developers), and fund development of the projects they want to see developed. This is their problem,the truth. not yours alone (or CNX's), and it is better they learn how to properly use Bitshares' features now rather than later. Let them organize the projects, find developers, fund them, etc... to build out the features as they want them built. It will be a good lesson for the community and a proof of concept of sorts for Bitshares' features. They need to learn nothing is free and to stop being so cheap. The first independent developer thread has started and they're already talking about outsourcing the work overseas to some quasi sweatshop worker that will work for $5 a hour... let them learn the hard way.
You were right to deduce that your time will be better spent working on MAS than the DEX. Your idea of mutual aid societies will have a much bigger effect on the Bitshares token price than "finishing" the DEX will. MAS has no competition in the cryptosphere... the DEX has AT LEAST 4 competing projects fighting over a small and limited user base (most of which has already made up their minds one way or the other about Bitshares.) Swing for the fences. These guys can't see your vision right now and how much more lucrative it is than "finishing" the DEX, but they will be thanking you a year from now if you push on with your MAS idea and the user base expands exponentially because of such (along with the value of the BTS token and ironically the liquidity/volume of the DEX.) The PR alone from this will be worth its weight in bitGOLD.
Touche` ! Kick a man when he's down why don't you....
You are brilliant tonyk, but brilliance can blind. Just kidding....about the blind bit. I still believe MAS type experiments are the right way to go for BM and BitShares.......i'm very happy that it will occur in the manner BM described within his Q1 roadmap for CNX. Are you happy with that?
you " need to learn how to get organized, find talent (developers), and fund development of the projects they want to see developed. This is your problem,"
I happen to agree with this statement. It is a simple statement of fact. If the bit at the end has a dismissive tone, it's possibly the result of people freaking out when BM says something. If you can't see how much he cares about this project and it's success, i refer you back to the blind thing above.
