Hi CM-Steem, thanks for taking the time to read/reply.
Are you happy with the UI? I feel like considering the length of time Bitshares has been around and the 'war chest' fund we have available we should have one of the best and most user friendly UIs on the market, instead of one that most people new to Bitshares say is hard to work with and confusing.
Similarly for the exchanges - do you feel we are listed on enough exchanges? I personally think that paying out a reward of X thousand BTS for successful listing (released only following successful listing and otherwise the funds remaining in escrow for other projects or to return to the pool at the end of the worker) is a better way to use funds than paying someone regardless of whether they succeed.
Note I am not against the UI work being doing or the representatives - I think we should be investing more in both, I am just highlighting that I think a rewards pool where BTS is only paid out for successfully achieving milestones would be a really great way to incentivise and reward a decentralised community.
I think progress in some areas has been slow and this is my proposed solution.
The mobile app and merchant payment tool are too vague and I will work over the next couple of days more clearly defining what I would consider the initial 'moon shots'. As an aside Palmpay and the stuff Kencode is doing is really great!
