You had a lot to say today but it was interesting throughout. It's clear that this one is not for the up-votes, but to share, I like that.
I'll try to go in order.. Games and some fun is very welcome at present! Lots of serious talk and it's easy to forget this good reason to be here. @drugwars has exploded for sure, the top spenders so far:
More games, more fiat ramps, please!
It would be interesting to listen to @hightouch talk about his development of Drugwars and Fundition.io. His reasons for doing so, how much time, if he was living off cheap food as a dev being paid no salary, etc. Because you are right, the work was done without Worker Proposal, or Steem DAO (Decentralized Autonomous Organization) as I think it is currently called.
I'm still siding (although less and less) towards something being required, but I find the 2 options on the blocktrades vote Post a little black and white. What about more inflation, what about a small slice off witness earnings (a token gesture would please the community?), what about a taking from the burned (early vote) steem, and downvotes...
The point still stands though, and apart from the points made by therealwolf, are we desperately needing Steem DAO?
I suspect that if the the original dev team could go back in time 3 years, they would code in another pool to collect funding for marketing, dev, 'keeping the lights on'. No-one would bat an eye-lid if this pool was there from the start, and author rewards, for example, were 20% less than they are today.
blockbrothers transparency, and lack of from most witnesses. I totally agree that it would be nice to have witnesses explain who they vote for and why. Honestly, I don't think they could come up with a valid reason for some of the votes - It's my alt witness account not being a valid reason! I have a list (that needs updating) on my profile stating reasons for the witnesses I vote, as I am proxy for 10 or so accounts. More of this would be nice, but yeah, I'm not holding my breath.
Alright man, you deserve a rest after that message - time to go raid some people's drugs?
Have a good one!
Thanks for your nice comment.
As you know I had a whole plan figured out last night to attack the top dawg drug lord but couldn't carry it out because I couldn't buy the units. I would probably be higher up the list if I could have :)
MY SPS stance is pretty simple. For as long as nobody can show a proposal that requires a SPS and makes me go...aaaa of course! That's why we need it. I don't see the point.
Again, I don't mind that it's being build, it's just another project on the chain and therefor it's non of my business.
But it will become everyone's business when it requires a Hard Fork and then there better be some good reasons.
I'm glad we as @blockbrothers are now 100% transparent about our witness votes. I wish more would follow. The latest list is here.
No worries :)
Have you seen the size of the top dogs now? - major unit buying going on!
That was nice of you to inform hightouch of the bug! I'm pretty sure some would have left it until it was spotted and reported. I've been hammered overnight, but at least you still earn from production.
A big decision to currently be decided by less than a dollar :/
