Troll box? A chat interface is different than a troll box, if what I've seen elsewhere is a troll box.What you and I think does not matter, though I'm right there with you. Those boxes remind me of a neighborhood post that all the dogs have to go pee on. But if someone actually will spend more time on the platform and trade because they are addicted to the endless noise of a chatterbox, then we probably need one. It seems to me that a straight up chat/messaging function would work much better for customer service and serous discussion.
I hate the damned things, they just provide a lot of noise and nonsense to distract what I'm there for. If people more or less stayed on point like the chat window in mumble I could see it possibly being useful. In my experience it's 50 zillion convos between separate groups of people and hard to track a single group / convo.
If you know what the old school telephone party line was, a troll box is like that but with many different conversations occurring in real time simultaneously. It would be like a mumble session where fuzzy is talking with BM on one topic, I am talking with Stan on a different topic, DataSecurityNode is talking with kencode on yet another, all at the same time in real time. A real audio mess. That's how I feel a troll box is in text.
I'm OK with adding one so long as it isn't visible by default. It would be a terrible I/F for support. Private chat on the other hand would be perfect.
@donkeypong are you talking about the starred markets? Make sure you have the latest version because I think it's pretty simple at this point.Correct. It's a little better every time I try it.
I still am unsure I understand but I can already tell this community is mature. Thanks for all the positivity among my negativity - it says a lot about your community. I am still a die hard Ripple fan boy but I will check out bitshares. Quick question - what is bitshares audience and do they have a specific niche?
That's pretty much what I was saying.. the power we have now though is like a 10 lumen LED ... sure it's power.. but when we are up to 300k lumen floods.. then its noticeable... and powerful.
I would caution the expect and demanding though.. that could very quickly come across the wrong way. The whole idea of the social consensus was just that.. social.. demanding it is not very social.. neither is expecting. We can very fairly offer it.. and if the offering is accepted willingly and with joy.. then great. I am say though that they will look at it just like I said already and see that they are the losers in that deal and will not be so excited about it. Those that don't simply don't get our unique brand of support. I just hope what follows that doesn't lead to others not even wanting to engage us.
So... MUSE soon will have Emma Watson coin as well as Taylor Swift coin? (imaginary examples)With an asset creation fee of 500,000,000 MUSE, they'll have to wait a bit longer!
The community has to revive its value proposition in order for this to work. If the value of the community doesn't equal what is expected out of some kind of share, then it doesn't make sense. When the 'community' numbers in the millions.. then you have something to bargain with.. otherwise you are asking a business to give up something for essentially nothing.. in their estimation anyways. They can just go ahead without sharedrop and the consequences of the community not supporting wouldn't even register.
Actually I am kind of a fan of a step less than that [It very well be my conservative thinking; or inability to see things as liberal as most here]
But free to everything BTS related should have been enough. I really do not want other chains (MUSE, PLAY, player X) getting the stuff that BTS holders paid for, for free.
If you want it - make yourself a DAPP on BTS, or pay to CNX or whoever developed that particular feature. The idea it to generally prevent even the thought of milk-cowing BTS, passing anybody's mind.
Anyway, definitely better than the current state, in my view.
Yes, well done.. definitely better.. BUT, while BTS is still trying to figure out it's business model, maybe we should be a little more conservative. I'm concerned about fragmentation of the network effect, and to some extent leeching, as tonyk mentioned.
