If there is a good reason for change of terms, you should do the voting by inviting all the community, not just a handful.
We haven't even swapped half the PMC in circulation yet.
There may be people waiting to swap in the last minute, exactly because of the reasons we are having now.
If there is a voting, we need to include the whole community and listen.
To me the decision looks hasty and didnt give the whole community any part in the decision making.
Are you kidding me? A "handful"?
I took all the names that were on the PMC swap excel sheet at the time (july 8th) (that I just linked to you) and messaged ALL of them.
Was it my fault kbroadfoot entered some incorrectly? ecuamobi instead of EcuaMobi and iGoodwin instead of iGoodw1n?
Or are you referring to the entire new community? because I believe we would have got 600 votes for a 10:1 swap ratio and 20 for a 1:1 ratio. I don't think you would have liked that more, would you?
What other method did you have in mind for having a roundtable discussion?
Were we supposed to try to get everyone on IRC at the same time?
I did my god damned best. I took the names we had, I asked them to vote, they voted and we followed their vote.
I see a lot of irrational arguments here but none of you have any idea how much work is involved in this. Does this look like your average copy/paste clonecoin?
Does my launch thread only have info about the coins specs and a list of pools you can mine the coin on?
Does all the wallet development I've done over the past 3 weeks seem easy?
If its not apparent that I'm working my ass off then I'm not sure what else I can do to show you. I wish certain people would take that into account before they start blaming me for all the great injustices I've caused them. Yes, what a jerk I am for trying to save their PMC in one form or another. What a fucking loser I am for realizing a design flaw and trying to fix it.
Frankly if you voted 1:1 you either didn't have all the facts or you were a selfish asshole. We are only reducing our swap amount because we reduced their giveaway amount!
You are still getting the same amount of PMP relative to what they are getting. You guys act like I should just continue on if I notice a design flaw that will literally destroy the coin. If by giving you all 1:1 I create an unfair currency and people see it for what it is, an unfair currency, it doesn't matter if you get 1:1 or 3:1, your coins will be worthless! No one will want to invest in a coin with an unfair distribution. And if no ones investing, you have no liquidity and your coins might as well be made of thin air. We've already talked about destroying those left over coins.
I am literally spending hours each day composing large letters, trying to argue and reason with the same 3-4 irrational people, to get them to understand and appreciate that this is something we need to do or we risk everything. Forgive me if I can't run almost every aspect of this massive fucking project, spend hours presenting facts and arguments and still keep on top of communications with every single member from the PMC community. Do you think you could cut me a bit of slack?
You are right though, it could be seen as hasty, but we needed a decision before the giveaway on Aug 1st. I sent the newsletter to 24 PMC members, which there was a total of 29 at the time. I wanted to give at least 10 days for everyone to vote and then give myself time to implement the changes we all decided upon.
Sorry Benezivas I will respond to you in a moment.
