It's so bad to see you decide to step away too.
I respect you and wish you have a good process.
We've observed and supported this project for the last four years. But the last events that happened force us to do this step.
We can't tolerate github abuse from one core dev
We can't tolerate trojan that was delivered by audit worker
We can't tolerate broke of consensus that was publicly acknowledged by core manager Milos
We can't tolerate the staking mechanism that was enforced with 0 discussions and completely changed consensus and voting behavior
The staking problem that was implemented with no discussion and I guess without any modulation is that it's not scalable and it hit hard by "voting apathy" because you have no intention in staking, you gain nothing besides the "governance drama"
The "abit precedent" vanished any trust in the current blockchain consensus & witnesses and operating on it can be just not safe.
Even if everyone starts to play with his staking rules what guarantee we have that he will not abuse github again and broke consensus again? This is a rhetorical question.
But if it's possible, May I ask you to stay with Bitshares for more time?
As a RuDEX gateway and registration-faucet and services we will be here if it is profitable for us, but I know the plans of current core group to enforce KYC on gateways and double tax the gateways assets and gateways liquidity, if this happens in this case we will migrate.
Too many big argument the community have made recent years, but they are not a big deal indeed compare today.
People come and go, Bitshares is still here, you should stay with it if you still have faith in it.
Never before was this kind of admin power abuse in Bitshares, so it's not about "people come and go" it's about safety.
Big part of Chinese community already split, but they also forked 4.0 code.
We believe not in Bitshares as a brand name or so, we like the tool that was before 4.0, with liquid voting and without double taxation, and this code doesn't exist now not in bitshares not in newshares. So we have no choice than start a new chain in attempt to save the tool in form we liked it.
You have development team, please step in the core development work.
We saw attempts that was blocked, abit refused give up his position in github and after his abuse I have no reason to work with dev with such ethics, so I don't understand how you plan to put someone besides him there?
Your business is the exchange gateway, pay more attention to the crypto asset instead of smart coin.
Sad true, but bitshares already not unique with UIA, so already exist better alternatives in this case,
Decentralization is a product and abit just broke this product made voting participation even less. 5% in dpos is really looks like a joke
we can have more opportunity if we stay together than fork alone.
I still have faith in Bitshares, wish you too.
Like I stated above we have a faith in the tool not in the brand name, but with the consensus that doesn't exist now, it is one of the reasons for our attempt to save this tool.
Only this way we can fix a reviving hole, and other mistakes that will never be fixed here because of a greed.
But if you have an idea how to fix bitshares issue with lack of trust to current situation don't hesitate to shoot me PM
If you have plan to fight back abit abuse we will support it too, we have a big server park so if the situation in bitshares changes it not hard to start rudex block producer here,
but as a blckchnd team we will work on a new chain to save a tool we fell in love, welcome btw.
