| @bridge:decred.org | [slack/davecgh] So, for some trivia, we're over 1.2 million on-chain votes now. | 00:24:55 |
| @bridge:decred.org | [slack/bee] @Richard-Red have you looked at "DashNexus - Next Generation Treasury and Governance Platform"? https://www.dashcentral.org/p/dashnexus-strv | 13:44:42 |
| @bridge:decred.org | [slack/bee] @Richard-Red have you looked at "DashNexus - Next Generation Treasury and Governance Platform"? https://www.dashcentral.org/p/dashnexus-strv (edited) | 13:44:47 |
| @bridge:decred.org | [slack/bee] Interesting budget sheet in that proposal btw | 13:45:51 |
| @bridge:decred.org | [slack/Richard-Red] Yeah @bee it is sorely needed. I chatted to one of the people behind it briefly a while back, not surprised to see it has been funded. Iirc it seemed pretty solid, and yeah it has a very detailed budget. | 13:53:32 |
| @bridge:decred.org | [slack/Richard-Red] Yeah @bee it is sorely needed. I chatted to one of the people behind it briefly a while back, not surprised to see it has been funded. Iirc it seemed like a solid improvement on Dash central, and yeah it has a very detailed budget. (edited) | 13:54:15 |
| @bridge:decred.org | [slack/decoy] seems like an outstanding tool | 15:08:33 |
| @bridge:decred.org | [slack/Richard-Red] Is it live now? | 15:44:33 |
| @bridge:decred.org | [slack/Richard-Red] I'm assuming not. Will check it out when it's up and running. | 15:48:34 |
| @bridge:decred.org | [slack/bee] No idea, was just passing by. It links to a PDF and I was reluctant to click it | 15:50:06 |

| @bridge:decred.org | [slack/bee] ^ thread about Zcon0 and governance | 16:12:34 |
| @bridge:decred.org | [slack/Haon] Yeah it's a nice one | 16:33:21 |

| @bridge:decred.org | [slack/Haon] “Bitcoin Governance” @pierre_rochard https://medium.com/@pierre_rochard/bitcoin-governance-37e86299470f | 08:01:30 |
| @bridge:decred.org | [slack/Haon] Good sign that the wider Bitcoin community has picked up the importance of governance | 08:27:44 |
| @bridge:decred.org | [slack/Richard-Red] "Conversations regarding Bitcoin’s governance tend to focus on who the decision makers ultimately are, perennial candidates include miners, nodes, and investors." - I would say that omits one group... | 08:56:42 |
| @bridge:decred.org | [slack/Haon] Developers? Users? | 09:29:24 |
| @bridge:decred.org | [slack/Haon] Feel free to comment on the article! Make it a good one, since medium treats comments like mini articles (they shows up on your profile) | 09:31:07 |
| @bridge:decred.org | [slack/Richard-Red] yeah I was thinking Developers | 10:42:25 |
| @bridge:decred.org | [slack/Richard-Red] I got into a discussion with Pierre on twitter once and didn't much appreciate his style of argumentation | 10:43:05 |
| @bridge:decred.org | [slack/Richard-Red] I haven't read all of this article yet | 10:43:26 |
| @bridge:decred.org | [slack/Richard-Red] I have been preparing some tweets about Nic Carter's presentation on governance | 10:44:38 |
| @bridge:decred.org | [slack/Richard-Red] not sure if that has been shared here actually, worth a watch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D1NeTN_AR18 | 10:47:49 |
| @bridge:decred.org | [slack/jy-p] i met pierre in person briefly in NYC | 12:00:15 |
| @bridge:decred.org | [slack/jy-p] he made a fair point that users / full node operators were one of these political groups, but that was in response my asserting that BS/BC was a political group within btc | 12:01:20 |
| @bridge:decred.org | [slack/jy-p] it's notable that he entirely excludes the devs, i.e. BC/BS, from that list in the beginning of the article. i mean, it's not as if someone other than BC/BS was pushing for consensus changes that actually materialized | 12:04:55 |
| @bridge:decred.org | [slack/jy-p] "On-chain “voting” by miners also perpetuates the myth that Bitcoin is a miner democracy, and that the miners alone decide on transaction and block validity." more of the 'ignore the original whitepaper content', which is unsurprising | 12:09:03 |
| @bridge:decred.org | [slack/jy-p] it's a bit hand wavy and obfuscated, but he makes a decent case for trustlessness as a basis for btc's governance direction | 12:11:06 |
| @bridge:decred.org | [slack/jy-p] however, there was no real discussion of how that governance process works since it really boils down to a technocratic council | 12:11:56 |
