This decision has been made, no need to start talking about it again.

*agreed*

Well the idea has merits, but it may not be the right time to do it.
Call it KeyID or call it DNS as a third party DAC but please don't associated with the original Bitshares DNS. Right now Is is already confusing as is it and will hurt your DAC and it will hurt Bitshare too.

Actually third parties DAC forked from Bithsare toolkit is what we want   because this was the original vision of I3,  so KeyID and PTS DPOS are welcomed, but probably this is the worst moment because it will only add more to the panic and confusion.
Please keep working on this and when the time comes we all be all ready to welcome you  KeyID.  So keep on doing the good job bitcoinerS, you got toast support this is great.

BitShares - the worlds first decentralized autonomous cooperative governed entirely by the stakeholders to facilitate an efficient and profitable businesses. 

BitShares X has too many syllables and does not roll off the tong.   It is confusing to everyone I tell about it.

BitShares is simple, unified, and captures what it is without extra overhead or the need to explain more.  It is easy to say, spell, and use.  It parallels Bitcoin nicely. 

X sounds eXtreme or "over hyped" or "advanced" or some other feeling that people don't get or like.

I think we have established the expectation and tradition of honoring those who provided the foundation.  People will do what is in their own best interest and that remains.

Every new DAC needs to have an initial allocation and the fairness of that allocation will greatly impact its performance.

So I am highly in favor of recommending people recognize any or all DACs based upon the toolkit, AGS, or PTS.  Ultimately the success or failure of that DAC will depend upon gaining users and with SEC crack downs you are not going to see many more IPO style fund raisers because they are risky.

So in my opinion it makes sense for all future dacs to snapshot an existing DAC with 100% and then pay supporters via delegate pay to grow it.

I think we are all upset by the price drop of BTS, and as a result we are getting angry with each other.   

Lets all not take too personally things that we said to each other today, given that we are actually just venting frustrations about the share price.
