I guess you are behind this bitcrab? You have been very vocal against Bytemaster, so you decided to go and urged this exchange (is it Yunbi?) to start voting?
yes, I am behind this, I am not against bytemaster, but I believe Bitshares need more decentralization in decision making.
so I'd like to get more stake into voting.
I am not able to urge anyone, all what I can do is to tell them my ideas and suggest.
Come on, you have been protesting everything that Bytemaster does very actively, this is clearly an attack purely against him.
If you had honestly wanted to help the progress of decentralization you would have asked opinions of other members of the community first. There are very good reasons for why this is not good for Bitshares.
That said, I'm not totally against of exchangest voting. But that would require a few things to happen:
- The exchange informs all customers about this, and preferably also asks them explicitely if this is accetable or not. Did they do it on this case?
- The exchange informs the Bitshares community about this. In this case they didn't.
- The exchange explains their motivation to vote. Are they going to be an active member of the community? Are they going to do more business with Bitshares than just selling BTS? This is really important because exchanges can be our competitors. It might be a serious problem if our competitors start to influence our decisions.
- If exchange is using a proxy, the proxy should explains it's reasons for voting. In this case they are voting laomao who has not published any information of his voting reasoning.
If an exchange is seriously interested in Bitshares and wants to become an active member of the community because they believe in Bitshares, we can welcome them.
But this case is totally fucked up. So what should we do about it? Should we contact Yunbi and ask them to remove their votes?
exactly speaking, I am against bytemaster in some cases, but in most cases I support him, otherwise I would have left Bitshares for months,I think Bitshares need him, I think the relation between bytemaster and committee should be as that between CEO and board, or President and Congress.
Opposition make sense, especially in bitshares community where there are too much simple followers.
yes, things should be better if there's more communication in advance, but it is not late even the communication begin from now.
I'd like to provide more info about yunbi according to my understanding about them and communication with them, I don't guarantee it's exact.
yunbi is an exchange that believes very much on decentralization and application value, they have taken off litecoin and dogecoin because they don't think these coins make sense, they are only simple altcoins.
they do not want to be active members in community, because they do not have so much time/resource for BTS, they get many information of BTS from my side, they vote mainly because they would like to help to make the committee more diversified/dencentralized.
laomao is the COO of yunbi, he do not have much time to spend on BTS. if you think community know too little about laomao, maybe I can suggest them to set me as proxy?
there is a QQ group of yunbi, 2442579, if you need to contact them and get known more, you can join to find laomao and the CEO.
don't complain why they do not want to spend time on BTS, they have told me:"we really hope BTS can have a good future, but we have little confidence on this, we are not sure it is decentralized, we can keep the trading pair, but we do not want to pay more resource on it."
they now only put their hot wallet in voting, they may put also the cold wallet in voting next week.
