The Rise development team is currently working on designing the new Architecture for Consensus / delegates mechanism and performing feasibility studies. We're waiting for these to be completed before we can announce with certainty what direction and approach we're going to be taking to solve the previously reported challenges we faced with the current code base. Below is the list of issues that the dev team is working to resolve with the new Architecture:
- Slow system speed - 10> Transactions per second - Above this causes forks
- DDoS Vulnerabilities in multiple core system packages that require significant updates to resolve
- Spotty delegate communication
- High resource usage for nodes
Allright. Thanks for the update. Regarding the expenses. I think it is normal that the company does the the developments sends bills to the foundation. I worked as a fiscal expert at one of "the big four" and I saw this really often. There are some things to watch out though... of course many people abuse these kind of organisational structures.
The fact that the management of the foundation and the management of dpc are so closely related could cause troubles when donators can prove that another party would have brought better results. They could argue that the management of the foundation based their choices on the basis of friendship rather than what's in the best interests of the donators. This is no form of money laundering, it's bankruptcy fraud. In this case DPC will not be liable, however the members of the board of the foundation can be held personally accountable.
I would just like to advice that as long as you guys feel that you are making the right decisions, keep going the way you are doing.
Now if this is possible i am also curious to know what the expected expenses are in the upcoming 6 months. I assume that such forecasts are made in advance..
