Dear Community,

before creating any more committee proposals, the committee decided it needed to agree on a common set of rules how to do business in the future. It took a few weeks to get a draft document created and several revisions to get every current committee member to agree - major thanks go to cube for helping with this document.

Thank you

What did we learn after the last proposal? Here are my suggestions

The proposing committee member should

Present facts only, no emotions and no panic. Provide proof by the blockchain that supports your position. Committee members should not believe everything they hear, refer to the facts instead.
Avoid conflict of interest. If you're a company that is directly affected by a proposed change and you're a committee member, you should not vote yourself, as this is a clear conflict of interest. It's like a voting for a witness pay increase when you're both a committee and witness.
Do not rush proposals and decisions. 24 hours is not enough, a week is probably good. Give the community time to discuss and to unvote the committee supporters if nescessary.
There may be emergency situations that warrent a shorter response time but one REALLY needs to evaluate if a emergency situation exists.
Do not let the 1 hour review period be on a saturday/sunday when perhaps most of the committee is not behind the computer, that is why a week long review period is nescessary.

Please discuss.

Thanks

I originally wanted to step down after my last commitee proposal was successful, but the community is still not in control of the network, so I decided to be active again.

Agenda/Proposal:

- lower trading fees
- lower account creation
- increase community control of bitshares, that includes that BM should eventually step down from controlling everything. we need to take over!

However, since I'm also a elected witness, I will not vote for witness fee changes or propose any. That should keep me out of a potential conflict of interest.
When there are enough commitee members so I'm no longer needed, I'll gladly step down

Thank you.

Hi,

I looked in the CLI, but cannot find any commands that would allow me to create a worker proposal.

Thanks

We're still under attack by account creation spammers, please see my commitee proposal here:

Hello,

The websocket at graphene.bitshares.org often crashes and the frontend has an option since yesterday to switch to a new one, but there's no list of public available websockets.

Please post your public websocket for testnet so it can be included in this dropdown.

Thanks,

Hello,

is it possible to sign a personal message with my private key in Graphene so someone can verify that I really own this account?

Bitcoin supports this.

Thanks
