Your avoided to answer why you, or anyone or your side, are unwilling to take the risk that you want to force the miners on my side to take. You said that the plan is a good investement for everyone, yet you don't seem to be willing to take that investement yourself. > If the community cared about BCH No version of Bitcoin has or had a committee deciding who to give the block reward to. In fact the whitepaper already says who should be getting the block reward, and you think it is a sad day that the community is trying to stick to the whitepaper? We care about BCH too much to allow some miners to force their plans on the rest of the network. We care too much to risk letting it slowly turn into Dash. We care too much to do weird experiments with soft-forks after splitting from BTC partially because we wanted to avoid a soft-fork per se. And you care about BCH enough to be willing to try all of the above to secure development funds. On both sides, people care about BCH so stop accusing people of not caring. > we would have enough funds for the Devs. And less funds to do other things. You are stating the obvious. The questions are: 1) Whether a committee is even able to decide correctly about how much funds should go to development instead of going to other things like security, marketing, tool development? 2) Should we allow miners to collude and form a committee to punish other miners for not helping enough? Cause even if they are just mining, they are already helping. 3) Is this the first step on a slippery slope that will turn BCH into Dash without even doing a hard-fork to allow us that disagree with it to split away from it? > Sad day for BCH! There is nothing sad in discussing important things and there is nothing sad with people honestly disagreeing over radical changes to the coin.
I expect many social engineering agents and miners who are not really pro-BCH to make these often-repetitive arguments while claiming to be Pro-BCH. I accept that truly pro-BCH miners cannot safely admit to that stance due to the massive powerful forces that oppose peer-to-peer electronic cash for the world's people. So, this could be a fake friend of BCH or a real one. I believe most who print articles opposed to letting miners fund BCH developers are not really pro-BCH. I agree the original proposal would benefit from a lot of improvements including letting miners (instead of pool operators) make the decision(s) and not sending the donations to a single censorable depository. I suggest creating or designating pools for miners to join as a way of showing support for the funding mechanism. I believe there are many truly pro-BCH miners who would be willing to sacrifice/donate less than 1% of their mining rewards to a fair BCH developer distribution system. I assume most miners are not serious BCH supporters who see the long-term value of providing significant support for BCH development very soon. I am OK with their opinions so long as they are not allowed to control BCH's ability to achieve the original dream of Bitcoin. I believe there are many miners who DO understand the importance of getting scaling on BCH quickly and would support such pools. If I am mistaken about BCH having serious miner support, This could also be a way to show that we should cower at the demands of the less friendly miners.
Any updates?
