My response to Luke Stokes questions
Hello @lukestokes and my other good friends here. In spite of the stupid behavior of everyone here I will still respond to this albeit late.
What does "true community control" actually mean?
The would depend on the established rules the community as a whole decided.
Is it one person, one vote?
Well if one person gets more than one vote why even Vote? Isn't that a fake election?
Do those who put in more effort or more resources get more say?
Depends on who make the rules? If the money powers make the rules it is all in the favor of capital. That is what we have now here and in the world!
The men who do all the work and make our lives possible, those men should have absolute say no matter who got lucky or rich!
Governance is not an easy thing to get right. I agree, much of the world (both fiat and cryptocurrency) has aspects of plutocracy at its core.
How are we to improve on that in a meaningful way?
There has to be a way to know who each account is and if it is a legit person. If that cant be accomplished all else fails. The money in power anywhere is illegitimate power and quite undeserved.
To some, money matters and nothing else. To others, this is their home on the blockchain and they want it protected. They don't want an outsider with a lot of money taking over without their consent. This temporary code change allows for time to discuss what the real intentions are.
I knew this blockchain was owned by @ned
That's the magic sauce though. That's the trick. On a blockchain, that actually has to be decided and coded into the chain protocol. We actually have to be extremely specific to do that. What specifics could we come up with?
Depends on how you decide vote weight. For example, should your gardener and your heart surgeon have the same vote weight when it comes to cutting you open to do surgery? Not everyone is an expert in every area and not everyone has the same skin in the game within every community.
I'd argue we have violence ruling the world today. Yes, capital is part of that, but it's the governments that make the laws, regulations, and such. If we had voluntary interactions without threats of violence, capital (some call a dollar bill a "certificate of appreciation") would be far less of a problem, IMO. Especially if you consider voluntary, competing currencies (not what we have now which is controlled by banksters who fund wars)
This is what Voice on EOS is attempting to do, but many are pushing back citing privacy concerns. If everyone is known, that's also a powerful tool for dictators and central governments (similar to what is happening in China right now with their reputation score system).
Thanks for responding. I've been very busy lately, but I was able to get in a reply. :)
Im going to answer your questions and open the door for wisdom to speak here.
vote weight? experts? Wow Luke I am a grown man and dont need any experts to wade me through life. Only God has a greater vote weight in my life than any other person. My wife is second and then my children all other vote weight is the same.
Have you ever heard of the common law? Injured party criminal case. Broken contract civil case. That is it. All the rules you need. No special groups and separate rules for everyone. Everyone follows the same principal. Its not rocket science and dont need programmers to accomplish that.
Most crypto currencies only seem to be a more nefarious idea then most perceive. The fact that every transaction can be tracked is much worse that fiat! On a Scale you guys dont get. Even all the people that think they are anon. I am shaking my head and laughing and wondering if anyone has their brain connected completely,
Just wanted to say it seems that the blockchain tech is being developed by the PRC and US programmers are doing it for free practically. I just cant wrap my head on the stupidity that greed causes!
