@xiko I'm not advocating a fork until it's entirely provable all is lost here and that the largest stakeholders are acting out of their own self interest rather than the interest ofhe network as a whole. The financial gains and loses of the large stakeholders seems to colour the way they operate, if financial gain or loss was removed from the situation I wonder if we would see less focus on propping up of an "old boys" club and a broader show of support for developers in the ecosystem.
I've had it out with the highest stake holders as a mere peasant, pointed out to the community the shit show that goes on and ultimately removed the vail of money knows best that prior was the standard thought process around here.
I do not for a minute believe in revolt without civilized talks and the issue being raised with adequate time to correct or modify the behavior in question. People are inherently slow in shifting beliefs most times and regardless of stake or financial situation that doesn't change mot times.
Things need to be changed around here, or here needs to be taken to another place. But regardless of our personal feelings on things it needs to be looked at objectively and decisions on how to approach this situation with the least amount of stress, drama and cost to the community need be analyzed.
This is a community that has already faced hardships together, we flourish and die by own own collective decision making. Just because a few stake laden individuals have a final say in what gets funded or who is successful here has little to no real world effect on how the community will carry on. Stake is used to control the network, not the users, and ultimately the users are the only real reason this network will ever hold or retain value. When it comes down to it, it's a hearts and minds excersize, not a matter of stake.
