Couldn't people just activate the bitshares-irc for that? Not like it's used all that much for anything else.

lol

so every 15 seconds you get burst ! !  of 12 messages to sort through (that are in no particular order)

so you decide you want to respond to one, type their name and start writing a message and then

BLAM!!

another blast of 9 messages!!!

you hurry to finish your witty comment reply to the first burst, when all of a sudden "BANG!" another 11 messages hit the screen, and just as you are finishing typing your reply and hit enter"BOOM!!"

a new list for you to read

A trollbox needs to flow like an improv comedy show, because you never know who is going to top that last joke, or when it's your turn.  The art of conversation gets lost completely if there is either no logical or chronological order

12 second blocks are too long for a coherent trollbox conversation, it would be too disjointed.  Even our 3-6 second blocktimes would be pushing the boundaries of smooth flow.  You would need 1-2 second blocks to really pull it off.

don't forget that they will soon make the transition to casper ( a POS alternative) and I assume they have more developers working on this....
...so I hope we are in a good shape before it is to late! We don't have much time....
