I don't think you'll receive a trivial result. Companies ask their customers these questions and it works even though you might think customers would respond with options that were too cheap.
I did not say you will receive a trivial result.
What I said was you might receive a trivial result
IF you don't do it in a professional way using quite advanced market research methods, e.g.
the Conjoint Analysis.
In this case the community are not only customers but also shareholders, so they should be able to take into account all the factors and if anything they will over-estimate what someone is willing to pay because they think BitShares is better than it really is.
I don't agree. I think the effect I described is much stronger. But it's hard to prove - it's just my opinion against yours.
Do you have any information on potential merchants?
Pure logic on my side. Merchants mostly receive payments so in most cases they are not the ones who pay the transfer fees.
*********************************
I'll shut up now. As I said before I think this whole transfer fee debate is counterproductive and we cannot afford it anymore.
All I care about at this stage, is to make these 3 groups of stakeholders happy:
- the traders
- the merchants
- and the referral program businesses
If you represent any them and can logically prove that high transfer fees are hurting them - I will listen.
If you represent the online consumers point of view - I just don't care (at this stage).
