In my opinion the full constitution was too complicated and open to interpretation but I think launching without something simple that can be amended later is a mistake.
Under that old constitution I think there was room for bad actors to take shots at block.one and win. Once the chain is live block.one with a 10% vote will have a huge say in any constitution. Some people will hate this but it is probably for the best. A bad constitution could take down the entire chain.
I really like the final (or close to final) version of it. I tended to like the openness to interpretation because thats what you alsways need to do when handling a dispute, but i might be wrong.
The issues i have, is that important parts, will be hard to establish if there is nothing there, the last version had clear acceptance criteria e.g. how would we reintroduce these. And B1 might be big enough to prevent things, they still aren't able to force things.
To be fair I haven’t read the final version but I had a feeling that @dan wasn’t going to like the version I read last week. Life, liberty, property etc.. weren’t secured. Don’t get me wrong I really like what EOS is trying to do but the twitter trolls yesterday had a couple of valid points.
But no constitution this late in the game? If this is the way forward then delaying the launch is a must.
Putting together something as important as this with 2 days to go when they should be focusing on preparing for launch is a recipe for disaster.
