RE: CBR Proposal: Update 1 - Addressing Some Concerns
i'm against anything that makes it harder for new users to stake. from the last talk we had about this, i understood that we needed to do more testing before putting this up for any kind of vote.
this development feels as though it's being rushed through with a narrative that our coin is currently insecure. i tried to address this during the hangout on Saturday, but it was sidestepped. does anybody else feel as though we have a choice as to whether or not this happens? vote weight has been proven to be a problem regarding previous important development polls.
also, i'm not sure what's up with the current trend of... marketing developments. can't a good idea be a good idea on its own? everything is being forced down our throats lately. "we need this, guys... we have a great team working on this thing.." kind of allows people that had nothing to do with the actual coding to attach their names to things...
just my 2 cents. <3
I hardly think this is being rushed at all. This is the 3rd poll we've had regarding CBR (1 2 3), and each time CBR support has been overwhelming in both vote weight and vote count.
I do understand however that this will make it more difficult for newbies to stake and therefore get their Research Rewards, and that has been addressed with the assumption of the implementation of MRC (1). You could argue that it would be ideal to implement MRC before CBR, but in that case in the time we have MRC but not CBR, there is almost zero incentive to run a node. At least to me, that is not a risk I'm willing to take.
We could of course release both CBR and MRC at the same time, and I would defer to the devs opinion if that's an appropriate course of action. I'm unsure if that would be considered to big of a change for 1 release.
