Because bitshares didn't gain a flood of new users due to a buggy interface and lack of upgrades from exchanges, plus all the regular holders who were unable to import their wallets, we decided to butcher the fee structure on a reactionary whim.
All this based off one month of live data while still in beta testing mode... dumbest thing I have ever been around. From what I have seen, these committee members have no business sense or patience whatsoever.
I agree with Donkeypong that we need stability, but this half ass rushed through shit compromise is terrible and now were stuck with it.
We didn't even give it a shot !
We have, with BitShares French Connexion, not even start to speak about us in other forums, in other communities, reach people, ect... Because it feels that there will be more change to come and we don't want to disappoint people.
Constant changes are bad ! It makes people actually promoting BitShares and creating project very slow !
These are the ones who will bring users, not a insignificant discount from 40 to 30 bts. Let's not making the task more difficult that it is already.
If we want to send a small amount of bts, let use ShareBits
If we want to send a bigger amount of bts, who cares about a difference of 0.03 $ between 0..9 and 0.12 $
The only real (little) problem is about the creation and cancellation of orders in the DEX because it's different from what traders are used to. Even if it's cheaper ...
Changes have to be precise and very well thought ... Baby steps
