communicating before the respective feature or function is 100% ready is also not beneficial.
People in today’s world expect lightening fast sync times and transaction execution. If we don’t have that, people will just immediately think it doesn’t work. we can’t have people waiting 2 minutes let alone 30 min to sync. There has to be a better way. we have also seen countless examples of people who know what they are doing not able to access coins. So even when we get upgrades that should be a positive, the perception is it doesn’t work. and when people think it doesn’t work based on real world, empirical use, it doesn’t matter what we say in marketing, the perception of quality is based on real world use and people don’t care that we tell them it’s great or it’s private…so when the marketing message does not align with the real world use, it’s a major problem.
hopefully we have learned the wallet performance is central to all upgrades. (one core ECC wallet with working SDKs, not more).
so many solid reasons to deprecate the old pools that outweigh maintaining them. We should be using the carrot and stick approach. Move into the new pool and get rewarded. high fees if you stay in the older pools. eventually. we need to just force it.
