That however, shouldn't discourage discussion about trying to come up with something better and given that the budget includes 7- 8 delegates, we have lots of possibilities. Imagine having 7-8 more devs working on this full time. However we just don't have those resources and the only solution atm is MineBItShares. But we should try to come up with something better, which should be possible.
At present most of the funds are in fact going to devs on this project. How much dev time does 2 BTC a month gets you? That is about what 1 100% delegate makes now. Most crypto programmers want to be paid in BTC. Good luck finding someone who will even talk to you bout your project when thats all you got to offer. That was how I operated for the first 3 months and couldn't get anywhere with being able to get these updates done because of it.
The proposal is clear.. and the benefits are huge. I again refer to the links I provide already in this thread where we gave a complete breakdown of just how much each miner is worth and the returns on investment to have an effective mining pool for BitShares and how it provides liquidity, volume, and new users to all the bitassets markets in the NEW pool which is being DEVELOPED RIGHT NOW.
Here is the link again:
https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php/topic,18253.0.htmlDiscussion follows on there as well about various aspects to further explain points that some people wanted clarification on.
8 delegates = 16 BTC a month. A portion of that is going to payouts, and portion to dev. On top of all that I am still out of my OWN POCKET for all the servers and network resources and my own time on this. (I know this disappoints the newmine fantasy world where I am getting rich on this)
All of the new delegates that just got voted in we cannot even get to the funds until we pay back the contributors who loaned the money in support of this project to create them. After that we actually just barely have enough for when the new pool is finished to pay up remaining balances due to the developers then.
I seriously appeal to everyones good sense and your ability to use good judgement for yourselves to look at the facts of the benefits this project brings, and support it accordingly with your votes.Sitting around in forums FUDing all over a project that voters have voted to see push forward is doing nothing constructive.
Come up with better ways to bring liquidity to the markets.. because when 2.0 hits.. we are REALLY going to need it.. otherwise it's going to be a turn and burn of new potential traders when they cannot get decent liquidity in our markets... so if there are solutions for how we can do something MORE to ensure that... awesome.. have that discussion. Pissing all over the solution you got in your hand that is
actually working though and is
in development while everyone sits around saying there must be a better way.. again.. is nothing constructive.
I have given all the numbers that support this in the other thread that anybody can use their good sense to judge for themselves with.
