Since 2014 Q4 (when the dev team ran out of money), CNX owes us nothing. Just get used to it.
CNX is free to make worker proposals whatever they like (including fixing bugs) and we are free to accept them or reject them.
If a coder is unwilling to take responsibility for his bugs, he only risks his reputation.
CNX is not doing us a favor - they are just taking care of their reputation.
They said they would fix the bug so there is no issue.
And if we continue with this "attitude of entitlement" - we risk our reputation (as a community).
I did see an entitlement in the last 5-7 posts or so...but it was not coming from me... or the community.
Or do you suggest, we stop asking legitimate questions, for some greater good?
I think both sides are at fault:
- CNX for not being able to produce a clear road-map for the next 6 months, which would show what
their priorities are and which of the new features will be beneficial for other Graphene-based blockchains (and this must be done to avoid this "paid by Bitshares used by others" syndrome). So far BM has always been hiding behind the pretext of worker proposals not being decided by him.
- the community for not being able to accept the fact that CNX is free to propose whatever they like and we can criticize them but
at this stage we are not entitled to anything from CNX. I understand that there is a very thin border between asking legitimate questions & giving critique / feedback AND demanding that something needs to be done because it was "promised". However sometimes we cross this border and I'm trying to prevent that.

We need a clear road-map both for alleviating bad emotions inside the community and for outside investors to be able to see where this project aims.
Since no-one from CNX seems to seeing the importance of this, I'll try to create such road-map later on today based on the information scattered to this forum.
