So here's a question I'm curious about because I think it strikes at the core of this issue.
Let's say Dan et al (toast, Vikram, Nathan, etc.) decide that Bitshares DAC is good enough to grow on its own so they find some new devs for it and move on to, say, Lending DAC.
1) What would your allocation expectation be for Lending DAC?
2) Once Lending DAC is done and they move on to Insurance DAC should Lending DAC get an allocation?
I guess my question really is: did you like the concept of a ProtoShare or just want a piece of whatever Dan and team is currently working on? There is no wrong answer to this. I've always tried to invest in people and not products.
That's a good question..... But why would there be a Lending DAC? Surely Dan et al would simply develop and integrate the code directly into the super DAC. There would be no need to snapshot. The same for Insurance DAC.
The interesting point is a third party developer may wish to take the barest implementation of the Bitshares Toolkit and take the technology in a totally new direction. The Protoshares community may harbor a different kind of support more conducive to supporting more experimental, riskier tech.....i'm not saying that is the case but could be.
Some successful innovations may be incorporated into the super DAC but maybe not if it's niche or specialized enough.....who knows?
I love the ideology, competency and depth of this growing community.....i'm already happy with my piece so my arguments are more for the health and development of the ecosystem which is evolving so some calls are difficult.... I'd rather support Alphabar in his efforts than shoot it down, whatever happens.
Could Protoshares be like Junior miners?
