We have discussed this before some, but I still don't understand the reasoning behind the current situation. Why does someone who is for example, a marketer, have to run a block signing delegate to get voted for and paid by the system?
I feel that this is an unnecessary distraction and makes it more difficult for worthy, non-technical people, to be "hired" by the bitshares DAC.
If you say it is because technical network reasons (i.e., more delegates means a slower network), I say that is not a good excuse. You could easily have a separate set of non-signing delegates or "employees" that only get voted on or paid or whatever, say once a day, instead of once every ten seconds. They are not securing the network so they only have to interact with it infrequently.
Why is this a bad idea? It seems like the obvious choice to me, and I don't understand why there has been resistance to implement it.
