Everyone was asked to post in a thread about what they've done and some Brownie.PTS were sent about 2 months ago or so. Are we supposed to keep posting each time we do something we think is worthy of a Brownie.PTS nod from @bytemaster or will he simply know we contributed or how do we know when to stop begging for Brownie.PTS for contributing because we didn't know we were on a shitlist?
I've been away for a while and so trying to catch up. My absence means that any contributions I've made in the past, which amount to far less than a lot here, will probably faded from memory. Still I feel like I've contributed to the debate here at times.
Brownies just seem like such a daft idea and I think they are going to switch off more people than they turn on. When I hear people like Xeroc suggesting that people should consider sharedropping on Brownies vs BTS it just makes me wonder what has happened in my absence. Xeroc was so fair-minded and he appears to be advocating dropping on what must amount to a tiny fraction of people who have supported BTS in some way.
Maybe I just don't get it. All these twists and turns - well they're just confusing. I'm hoping not intentionally so. I'm still holding, but I'm losing faith a little with this Brownie stuff.
Faith will be restored if someone can build a logical argument as to why Brownies are fair and will remain so. Whilst trying to answer this please keep in mind the quote from DataSecuirty Node above. I'm pretty sure if you read what he says you'll quickly realise that Brownies are not practical and cannot ever be fairly distributed. So this means at the very least sharedrops should be refused/not encouraged by BM and Xeroc and other Brownie holders.
I will just speculate thru questions.
1) Can "fair" be defined?
2) Why should a sharedrop should be fair? Should the distribution scheme of some part of something you own/build/produce be subject to any third party's definition of "fair"
3) Is the distribution of BTS fair? (Remember PTS bounties?)
4) Someone with no access to BTS (no money avaliable, no on/off ramp available in the country/jurisdiction etc..) be left out? Even if he/she is a big contributor to the community?
