Sparkle is fully honoring AGS/PTS in recognition of their support and belief in many 3rd party DACs. BitShares will not be honored because of their view of everything else as competition.
Happy to see AGS/PTS still getting treated with respect.
No beef with the decision on BTS.
But...
I'd like to question the
reasoning here:
The two "because's" above are non-sequitors!
Honoring a particular chain really has nothing to do with the policy of its developers.
Do you want the support of its
stakeholder demographic, or not?
You don't honor a chain to please its developers, or to perhaps motivate a change in their attitudes.
(Your competitor probably would prefer that you NOT sharedrop on their supporters.)
You honor the
people who hold your competitor's shares, because you want them to honor you.
It is perfectly valid, nay profoundly wise, to honor your competition's customers and stakeholders.
Best case is that every one of them has just as many shares of your product as those of your competitors.
Then you are suddenly competing on a level playing field with them.
I am not making any policy statements here about competition or cooperation with Sparkle.
Just trying to promote a correct understanding of BitShares Sharedrop Theory.
Its about courting stakeholders, not pleasing developers.
