Proxy: jakub - better execution / implementation / communication of BM's ideas

[jakub]

I'm supporting worker proposal 1.14.9 "Bitshares UI Project Coordinator" as described here:
https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php/topic,20144.0.html

(1) wmbutler has a proved track record (he is asking for a salary AFTER proving his value when working for free)
(2) his actions are appreciated by the devs:

https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php/topic,20144.msg259365.html#msg259365
(3) this role is very much needed

I am also supporting this worker proposal by CNX:
https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php/topic,20089.0.html

As BM says: "This is a micro proposal for a small change to the BitShares network to lower fees in the event an order is not filled."

I'll be supporting this committee proposal:
http://cryptofresh.com/p/1.10.15
as described in this thread:
https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php/topic,20073.0.html

In the long run my goal will be to keep the transfer fees in the range of $0.15-$0.20 as IMO this is needed for the referral program to work.
However in the short term perspective I think it's better to have this compromise and thus alleviate the split we are having in the community.

I've removed my support for 2 committee members: bitcrab and clayop as they support a significant reduction of transfer fees.
IMO this will completely undermine the referral program.

 

looks like they're outvoted. this proposal http://cryptofresh.com/p/1.10.13 can't pass

OP: Are you still active? Will you vote for committee members?

Still active.
I've just updated my votes to include committee members and workers as they've become visible in the GUI.
I've also added my support for 2 more witnesses: liondani & maqifrnswa.

thank you very much!

Here is my standing regarding the recent worker proposal from CNX:

#1 It was a disaster, it's good that it's been retracted.

#2 Generally yes but I can't say I understand it fully. Hope to hear more details from BM.

#3 It's nice but low priority for me. I think we have many more important things on our plate than this, e.g. bringing all BTS functionality to the GUI level.

#4 Excellent, especially the standardized API for trading bots.

#5 Excellent, definitely needed for the BTS gateways to have such tools integrated into the GUI.

As an early investor in "people & ideas" I agree with your profound analysis in many ways. It is not self-evident that we have come so far and I am grateful. There was no other project since 2011 that convinced me enough to invest resources. The "smart guys" have delivered such an impressing product and I support every effort to make it successful.

Voting for this proxy.

good move 

Following BM's appeal for establishing a foundation of proxies, I'd like to offer my service as a proxy for BTS voting.
I believe I'm in a good position for this role as I follow the forum quite closely and I've been participating in almost every mumble session this year.


The background

I've been aware of BitShares almost since the initial concept came into existence and was immediately in love with the idea. I have enormous admiration for BM's talent
