I want to remember ALL delegates to publish pricefeeds.
In the last days the delegates on the 5 main bitAssets are down do 64/101
- i still think any delegate should publish pricefeeds, especially ALL core devs. Why are some core devs not publishing? In the past TOAST and others stated they want to code something on their own. I am fine with that, but not in 1 year! All of you had enough time, and it looks to me you have no time to do it, so just use an already existing feedscript.
maybe this is also a good time to discuss the feed idea at all. Do we really need them or can we come up with a better solution?
I think it's because there was recently a big increase in 100% delegates, but some of them have little experience of actually running delegates, and are not publishing feeds. While they gained position, a few 3% technical delegates were pushed out of 101 position, and they were publishing feeds. This is why the total number of feeds went down.
I feel it's time to revisit the "delegate rotation" idea. (which is basically we'll have a number of delegate positions, let's say 10, that are randomly rotated. All standby delegates, that are running up to date delegate versions, publishing feeds, have a chance to be rotated into these active delegate positions for some time say 30 days, then it rotates again). This also gives standby delegates a chance to produce blocks and "prove" they are reliable delegates. So we can have a large army of standby delegates ready to be voted in, and strengthen the network.
