I just think you guys are doing more damage than good when you blindly vote against developers without any consideration. It isn't productive from what I see. It doesn't help the process.
if really without any consideration, all the workers have been voted out.
I appreciate dannotestein's opinion: "I do want to say that I don't feel any animosity towards those voting against the workers: I understand their position and have even agreed with some of their arguments", both sides need to try to understand their counter party in a game.
Very diplomatic and politically correct words that have no real solution to follow unfortunately.
It's like saying you need to understand why someone who killed another was justified in their reasoning to do it. Ok.. I understand their side now.. didn't make them right or absolved of the crime of taking anothers life.
Likewise, anybody can say they understand why you might want to vote the way you do, but it doesn't make it the right thing to do.
Stopping all the work will have no impact on our current market rates to cause them to go up in any manner, which has been the #1 reasoning claim I have seen time and again... current market cap.
Continuing to develop strategic elements will however increase the adoption of bitshares, and make it more attractive to businesses looking to utilize it knowing that it is has a healthy ongoing maintenance from it's community. Counter argument has been to use free workers, that have not appeared.
Some of the complaints have been about programmers charging too much, yet no developers out of lower pay rated economies have stepped up to take advantage of this situation as a competitive advantage. The only reasonable conclusion is because the message in China is that no work will be supported no matter what, so don't even try.
I would like to see more accountability .. not just from Workers.. but from Proxies .. on their reasons for how they are voting. How that takes form though still remains to be seen.
