Well yes I do! That is what we all should do ;)
I think the best move forward is to not blame but rather improve the process. Recognize that Steemit Inc. and the witnesses and the stakeholders who are voting were all kinda cowboying it and that we need better and clearly defined processes.
Maybe voters could have their own requirements for witnesses. That they publicly state. ANd then other can proxy on that if they agree with it.
And agreed, for SMTs we need this better process!
Yeah, and I really appreciate you stepping up with proposing some better best practices. We don't have to go full ITIL here and some things are often tough to realize in a real world environment... but we should at least try.
I'm a huge proponent of agile iterative approaches and I think you "guidelines" would make for a decent basis to create an executive framework here...
most importantly though I fully support your implicit demand for more technical involvement of the big 20 and other large project owners, but from what I can judge this would have to start with a more transparent top-down communication of developments towards the community.
It'll be interesting to see how the situation gets digested and if we'll just go back to stake obedient circle-jerking or if we make improvements from here...
Yes we need improvements, but there's also room for complaints... the negative RC and VP-drain coming "as a surprise" is simply not excusable!
I recognize I still sound salty... ah well... Thanks for making this post and keeping the needed discussion going!
Nah, SMTs are going to be developed, rolled out and then Medium and the Guardian will automagically come. Because this platform is so
unicornamazing!Hopefully they come after the clusterfuck though because lack of accountability may actually already undermine the future of the SMT platform.
If SMTs are going to be pushed, and I believe they can be a great platform for change and have a potentially disruptive future even, then we need more credibility on this platform. Which comes with accountability first, flearns next.
Great post, great follow-ons in the comments. Postmortems like these are what we need, and it is the task of everyone to add sufficient pressure on those who need to adopt the flearns.
I knew it was correct to never remove my witness vote from you.
