I just think some people are blind... Someone ready to invest a sum of money to integrate a new feature to BitShares, is a bad thing?
How could it be wrong? Do someone actually think that onceup will throw this money out of its window without working his *** out to promote and do something of it which will benefit all the community?
onceuponatime's intentions, although a mystery, aren't really the question in my mind. Of course he's well intentioned enough he's been a bitshares supporter for ages.
it's about throwing the baby out with the bathwater out of desperation to get a new feature developed. Splitting up the value incentive takes away from BTS. Both directly and as a result of causing people (who thought they'd already invested in this feature) to have to buy a new asset, if it get's made available, eventually, and I'm sure it will as onceup has hinted at that-- but that means I'm still trusting somebody in this trustless system. this is about the precedent it will set.
I'm willing to be patient, and wait until Graphene has proven itself reliable long term and people start to buy into it for what it already is. It will happen even with just maintenance and no real features. features are just gravy. they're a luxury that we can't afford. not socializing the costs robs BTS holders imo.
Really??? We are talking about it? I am lost here... "New feature"+ "someone who will work hard for bts" is a great combo IMO...
because issues get discussed in an ecosystem where voting takes place.
Could somebody explain to me the separation between BitShares the Blockchain, BitShares wallets, and Graphene?
If it's just a wallet feature, and other people are free to develop their own stealth wallets which burn fees, I could live with this arrangement. Kind of a bootstrap until the ecosystem becomes self supporting. But it's not just one wallet, it's a fee being written into the blockchain, just so it can be used by one wallet. or does OpenLedger, constitute the blockchain, powered by Graphene, as it currently exists? Can third party wallets charge fees from the blockchain independently of openledger, as payment for features openledger doesn't have? If somebody wants to implement their own stealth, can they just write up their own wallet for it? I guess I'm not clear on what it is exactly we're doing, but a hard fork for a fee change does not bode well.
