BitShares AGS / Re: Today .I made a too bad mistake
« on: April 21, 2014, 04:11:22 am »
I do not claim to be a coder, I do not set timelines, I am a user and a prototypical one which should be more concerning. Many times I suggested that Bitshares not set timeframes it might be unable to keep but it took many public instances of failure for that message to be driven home to the Bitshares team.
How should I be easier on Bitshares? I am open to suggestions if you think that is best.
Why do you think there is a 100% chance of Daniel delivering? I am very much concerned the way money was raised is going to cause major problems which would put a giant stop on the whole endeavor.
I'm saying timelines are very difficult. Even when you understand the problem. We/they are still working at the solution for some of the most basic problems. Dan has decided to move beyond POW. I find that a positive goal yet I also wish it was instantaneous.
I said he will deliver on a NEAT product. I have no evidence his tech will overtake the world, but a bit of gambler's faith. It seems plausible, but to me it seems more interesting than anything.
I can not comment on your podcast's take on Bitshares. I've listened to some episodes and they're very high quality. (obv) I'm not some random hater.
I can comment on you showing up here and just harassing on time frames. This is a valid thing to do ! However, please understand that software dev is one of those jobs where people with no clue (not you) think they can do better.
It is much like trying to understand what sort of person you'll be 5 years from now. Nearly impossible. If you could foresee it all, you'd already be there. This is the same thing with software dev.
Where will it settle within the scope of humanity? I dunno.. but thats what I am here for because I have nothing else that interests me as much.
Cheers!
I wish Daniel had focused on delivering Bitshares as envisioned and then created subsequent versions or products that incorporate these elements. That is what I signed on for, not "whatever daniel larimer thinks is a good idea this week". The delays have been because the focus and method has constantly pivoted to be "the best possible" when in reality not having launched the product we don't even know what is best and if these "improvements" are making things better or worse, since we've never had an opportunity to see a product to compare against.
You have faith in Daniel, the people who remain on these forums clearly do which is why it's an echo chamber and people with dissenting views find themselves shouted down by the people who are passionate about the bitshares vision instead of pragmatic about the reality. I'm using these 2.0 products every day (projects on Mastercoin, Counterparty, I'm working with the NXT and Ethereum communities), this is not a hypothetical situation.
Bitshares was in first, and now they're in last - Even Ethereum has highly functional test code out for interested parties to build contracts on, why are we reinventing the transaction processing wheel?
Because Daniel decided mining is dead, and that's been the technological focus ever since. Mining will eventually be phased out, but it should NEVER have replaced the core mission of delivering Bitshares, and it clearly did.
