That said, IMO if indeed a major restructuring is necessary, then the time is now before the DAC gets too big. I remember discussions a while back about how the first implementation of bitshares may have to be redone.  So this is fine with me as long as distributed consensus is maintained and the majority of shareholders are required to approve the decisions.

we discussed the "merged-mining" proposal in the hangout yesterday .. and IMHO would should go the other way round and focus all power in one blockchain .. and gather speed ...

once the market can stand on it's own .. the blockchain features can be "spinned off" the main business and be run on a separated chain using the same assets/delegates .. but different chain/feature set ..

Xeroc can you explain to me why a couple weeks ago the company line was that some secret marketing plus a bitUSD debit card was poised to rocket BTSX above all our wildest expectations, but now all of a sudden the chains need to be consolidated in order to "stand on it's own"?

Were they wrong before or is it bullshit now?

I don't mean to sound combative, I respect you, your opinion and all you've done for this venture thus far.  It is a genuine question.

Thanks buddy.

I hear you. The lack of marketing transparency is frustrating. The lack of any marketing effort that shareholders can see is frustrating. Constantly changing plans at a whim is frustrating. Naive as it may be, I'm holding onto hope this is a step in the direction of simplicity, organization and focus.

These are the kind of changes you don't make after a launch. It's way too much change for the market to handle and it's not the kind of change anyone wants. The market is speaking.

In my opinion if you want unity then network the DACs using technical means. Don't change the names, don't change the internal structures or centralize it. Allow all DACs to pay a fee to join this network of DACs and use that network as a sort of support network for all the DACs.

It is a company. 
It is competing in a ruthless Darwinian evolutionary environment. 
It must continuously adapt or die. 
Arguments against change are arguments against adapting. 
The dinosaurs already tried that.
