I don't want to create a two class forum.
Rune seems to be new around here (don't recognize the name from before)... I didn't even realize he proposed a merger lol.
But currently there already are two different classes: I3 and all other stakeholders. To me it seems even more centralized to have the secret access be determined arbitrarily by those already on the inside, rather than through some objective measure.
Realllly Rune???
You better prepare your statement. This statement has brought me to the point of boiling over....it is time to tell people about you and your entrance into the Mumble, attaching yourself to me and saying "You are going to be the most powerful man in bitshares" (a position I am loath to attain, btw).
Then to tell me we need to be completely transparent about our stakes in the system, run delegates and have a secret group who also MEETS in secret to rule over the bitshares ecosystem? Xeroc was there...ask him, anyone, if you don't believe me (not that you shouldn't...as I have proven 100's of times my trustworthiness).
This deserves a thread all its own. And I am preparing to give the community just that.
Sorry Ghentso. I know I told you I would try to play their game so I could attain enough money to fight Rune, with his "1000's" of BTC...but THE ONLY way I can fight him is by being honest. I am no longer going to try to ally with him...just to join up with this "secret group" and out them from the inside. All you (and possibly Method, who you said brought you here) want is to take control over the BitShares SuperDAC. Don't act so a ridiculous....
To me it seems even more centralized to have the secret access be determined arbitrarily by those already on the inside, rather than through some objective measure ----All you want to change is WHO has this centralized authority and make it LOOK transparent and "decentralized". I personally will not let you do it without the community knowing about it.
I apologize in advance to the ENTIRE community for not reaching out and letting you know earlier. But I actually considered "infiltrating" this little scheme and recording it. Honestly, I don't care to--I am currently holding a measely stake of 20 BTC after my year of work in these forums, so others can know my intentions by judging my actions and sacrifices on their merits. The only reason I am still here is because of the early investors who I have grown to trust and respect as I would family. They were here before they smelled free money. And they worked hard to achieve what we have achieved. I am here to protect them, and Dan's dream--which I also share.
https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php?action=post;board=5.0 is going to grow into a more formal post on this. But for now I don't have the time or the patience.
In my humble opinion Rune...you are very intelligent and very calculating. I do not know how you got your 1000+ BTC, but I do not care. My wealth is in the people around me and the good will of others...and I believe if I work to be worthy of their trust, we will build a world so amazing that mere tokens that "represent value" will pale in comparison to the lifestyles we will all live. I want a world without war...and people like you make it inevitable. Good job.
