 @bridge:decred.org | [slack/solar] TBH I'd take him quoting you prominently like that in the article as a high benchmark of success. | 02:14:19 |
| @bridge:decred.org | [slack/jy-p] this pattern of millenials and younger people raging against some policy, agenda, or position when they have proposed no good alternative is annoying | 03:01:02 |
| @bridge:decred.org | [slack/jy-p] if you're going to rail against something, propose something better ffs | 03:01:28 |
| @bridge:decred.org | [slack/jy-p] per our discussion in here a few months back after he wrote that eth bandwagon article about governance where he claimed coin voting was plutocracy, he claimed that PoW was plutocratic | 03:03:04 |
| @bridge:decred.org | [slack/jy-p] if we at c0 just got all assfaced and complainy when we experienced adversity and things we disagreed with, we would have accomplished precisely nothing | 03:04:39 |
| @bridge:decred.org | [slack/Richard-Red] @solar that's exactly the spirit I took it in 🙂 | 05:27:08 |

his article references the one I wrote about plutocracy. I'm not sure he is trying to bash decred specifically, I think the anti-on-chain-voting articles from people associated with Ethereum are geared more towards EOS
this is a good point as well, never thought about this
| 10:38:01 |
| Haon | ETH's direct competitors will be EOS and Tezos, both of which raised Ms of dollars worth in ETH and who seem to embrace a form of on-chain governance to run their network | 10:38:58 |
| Haon | it is only logical that ETH fanboys are scared of that, and try to smear on-chain governance as much as possible | 10:39:54 |
| Haon |
It was written mainly with blockchains in mind rather than blockchain based protocols.
can anyone explain me what he means by that?
| 10:41:38 |
| Haon | is Bitcoin a blockchain or a blockchain based protocol? | 10:42:04 |
| Haon | and what about Decred / ETH? | 10:42:12 |
| Haon | anyways, I agree that this article is mainly useless chit-chat | 10:43:37 |
| Haon | the reason I'm bringing it up is because people seem to give words lots of importance these days | 10:44:08 |
| Haon | it's good to know what type of wordy battles we're up against | 10:44:35 |
 bee | "I'm not sure if we can actually release blockchains with governance models from the get go." from that thread | 13:42:41 |

| Haon | did you read this? | 17:32:59 |
| Haon | as far as I could see it's a fluff article to introduce the new paper of vitalik & co | 17:33:52 |
| Haon | why did you post it? what content was interesting for you? | 17:35:12 |
| Haon | I'm curious about it | 17:35:19 |

| bee | Haon not read all, quickly scrolled through and noticed it suggested some way of funding derived from QV. Figured it may be relevant here. Was it a garbage article? | 20:23:12 |
| Haon | it | 20:54:27 |
| Haon | (sorry, premature enter) | 20:54:42 |
| Haon | it's mainly a fluff article, in my opinion | 20:55:16 |
| Haon | this concept they introduce, Liberal Radicalism, is just a bunch of words | 20:56:04 |
| Haon |
the method described – a system written in code – seeks to allow groups to allocate funds for the maintenance of public goods and services without becoming vulnerable to the "free-rider" problem.
| 20:56:45 |
| Haon | they mention the negative points in one tiny paragraph towards the end | 20:57:45 |
