Remove Partners Sections from Home

(1/7) > >>

btswolf:
Everyone can claim to be a partner of BitShares no one can stop you from saying so.

However we did not remove the partner status of anyone because such a status just does not exist, yet.
If you want to become an approved BitShares partner do a representative stakeholder voting.
But if you just want a prominent place on the forum, then you have to deal with the forum users.
And they decided for now to have a clean forum without a misleading Partner section (including mostly inactive threads).
Else everyone could claim to be a partner that deserves a prominent spot on the forum too.

The decision was not made to make "Partners" cry or to blame anyone but just for a better and cleaner forum.

I don't have a problem with Openledger/CCEDK being listed as Partners, I believe Ronny is an example of what a partner in the Bitshares ecosystem is. We just have to have a clear definition of what that means. Does issuing a press release with the word partner in it make you a partner? What does it mean to be a partner to a decentralized company/organization mean in the first place. Using the term partner could make us unique in that sense.Below is a list of the forums of other some of the other top coins, none list a partners.

One point that hasn't been brought up (and it has been brought to my attention by Ronald Kramer) is that outside people that are not familiar with how things work in BitShares might think that OpenLedger has "taken over" the BitShares platform. Instead we should make clear for many that BitShares is the underlying technology for OpenLedger that that it is a public good and only the BitShares shareholders own it.

I fully agree in this point, but as long as there are no one promoting bts itself apart from myself at least worldwide with the promotion of OpenLedger it is easy for people to think like that.

So what it takes is  some few people co ordinating efforts to bring the marketing of BTS outthere

Initiallty OpenLedger was intended as a way of presenting BTS to the world, untill now it is still doing this as its primary goal, and not so sure whats bad about it

allyou ned is more information on the DEX itself for instance in the entrance when regsistering to ensure people know the difference.

Point is that mainstream consumers dont care about this and that but look more for the functionality, an the idea was to give them this without too much techie stuff.

Why cant they both be promoting eachother?

If there had been an active marketing team promoting Bitshares it would have been clear already that BTS is the underlying technology, heck I write it in every single article I do, so the fact that people think like this is perhaps becasue most of the info comes from one side only meaning from Openldger and CCEDK, and this you dont change my saying Openledger is a 3rd party but insetad you need to appreciate and use the flow of information for people to be better oriented.

I agree.  The fact is that BitShares can and should have many "white label" outlets to the world.  Some of them may use BitShares without even acknowledging the underlying assets.  But when we get someone who is both developing a new brand and promoting the underlying chain, I say "hallelujah" the planets have aligned!

Stan:
I'd also like to express my appreciation to Ronny.
There is no better advocate for BitShares!

Seems like some of us are out there building bridges while others are quickly following along behind us fencing them off.

In the end, our culture here will depend on whether people make the extra effort to keep it a positive experience for everyone.  By default, the negative attitudes have a tendency to set the tone.
