Does this topic serve a useful purpose? How do issues that surface in this forum get RESOLVED or are they just discussed ad nauseum and then just peter out, leaving many without a solid conclusion or official position statement?
I asked for this topic to provide a convenient and central place to help this community focus on the items that need to be RESOLVED. That is a process that takes time, to expect it too quickly would be unreasonable and unrealistic.
So are we making progress? If so it's hard for me to tell. Only one item in these dozen or so conversations (that I alone have identified; nobody appears to be very interested in reading this list or actively helping to identify issues that should appear here) has been labeled as RESOLVED, and IMO, only one aspect of several was actually resolved, not the whole topic yet the discussion appears to be dead. Presumably waiting for further details from Cryptonomex that are currently missing from the documentation.
It seems to me that Cryptonomex is busy coding 2.0 "over there" and this community is "over here" talking amongst ourselves (mostly) with very little active effort to cooperate and work together to reach a definitive RESOLUTION of the topics raised here on the forum or that come up in the hallways of Cryptonomex.
It does require an investment of Cryptonomex's time to engage the community and track the discussions to distill updates and changes to establish official policies and processes for what will become 2.0, and then update the documentation to reflect the consensus of the community AND Cryptonomex. Some of that work can be delegated to the community to reduce the burden on Cryptonomex, such as updating documentation.
All I see is a chaotic, ad hoc approach to hammering out the still ruff edges of what this ecosystem is to become. Can't we do better? Can we be more systematic in our approach?
It's time to get organized and get down to the business of establishing how this ecosystem will function. There are a myriad of details that need to be pinned down and documented, to provide the world with the instruction manual they need to allow them to build upon and fully utilize the BitShares ecosystem.
Is it possible to become a more integrated team here, Cryptonomex + community? Will it require too much transparency or time on the part of Cryptonomex, or are other issues preventing a more synergistic level of cooperation towards resolving / establishing policies and procedures for the operation of BitShares?
Now that I think about it, who has a handle on the pulse of the BitShares ecosystem? I mean, BM has used the comparative metaphor of a DAC or "company" to describe how PoW mining is far less efficient than DPoS, and often states ecosystems must be profitable to be self sustaining. Few here would disagree, but why has nobody asked to see "our books"? What are our actual costs? What are our expenses, both short term and long term?
How can Cryptonmex expect the BitShares shareholders and community to self-govern without some type of "annual report" that provides answers to these basic questions, like every corporation under the sun routinely uses?
