DVS has to be relaunched with a 100% sharedrop to BTS anyway, unless you want to see our market cap evaporate from the torrents of FUD the current distribution will generate in the Chinese community once they find out.
Anyway it's a natural right for a stakeholder in a DAC to demand that delegates they fund use only a testnet that was sharedropped to them, without any donations to third parties. If it becomes apparent that our delegates do not serve the stakeholders then our community will lose all credibility.
The Chinese community is informed and well aware of the Devshares distribution but they are not creating FUD.
There is much to learn from this thread. When one does not get what he/she wants, the recipe to turn things into their favour is:
1) create lots of noise - claiming 'unfair, 'suffered', 'wronged'
2) create fear - not many are following the events, they are easy targets
3) create uncertainties - not many are following the events, they are easy targets
4) create sourness and actively make sure it spreads
5) rally those influenced to go against the established
6) create more noise
7) repeat step 1 to 7
8_) still not getting what you want? - make a demand
9) make a stronger demand
10) rally more people (get those influenced to go against the established)
11) repeat step 9 to 10
12) still not getting what you want? - create a threat
13) make a stronger threat
14) make a even stronger threatening threat
15) rally more people (get those influenced to go against the established)
16) repeat step 12 to 15
17) more to be discovered.. stay tuned
18) repeat recipe until BM and/or Stan and/or the devs give in
BM wants to use bitshares as a tool to free people from politics. An admirable goal but I am not sure how that can be achieved.
actually , many Chinese thought devshares snapshot is based on 11.05 snapshot , including me and many other people who are good at finding information . Many of them are still confused . We can't see a reaction now because many of them still don't know . And I'm not even sure what I
should tell them , because 11.05 was the final one , that was the cold hard social consensus when BTC38 delisted PTS .
It's like a no brainer , when BM say AGS/PTS/BTS snapshot at 12.14 , people will automatically come to the conclusion :
AGS uses 7.18 snapshot , BTS uses 12.14 snapshot , PTS uses 11.05 snapshot .
Why would people think DEV used 11.05 snapshot for PTS ? I don't think you need to ask that question after BTC38 delisted PTS after 11.05 , right ? I don't think you need to ask that question when people sold PTS at 2 CNY right after 11.05 , right ?
Are we all mistaken what's the true meaning of 11.05 snapshot ? Maybe , but if people like me are mistaken , how would you expect from the common users who know nothing about what's going behind the scene ? Will we in the future see more statements like "I didn't mean that , you are mistaken ? "
How many times can we endure to do changes after the facts like this ? 11.05 snapshot was the final one , at least before Alphabar made his case and changed the whole dynamic . But that doesn't mean the 11.05 was not intended to be the final one , because , let's face it , it did .
Personally , I don't really care the value of devshares , I don't think many people do . I don't really have an opinion what the dev's should do . I'm just telling you what people are gonna say .
