The market really loves the approach to the dev fund debate and how ECC is dealing with the situation…
Yes. And the fact that Zooko mentioned that the DEV fund debate might last until next summer doesnt give me confidence.
In my opinion this issue should be resolved as quickly as possible.
The first poll closes in eight days, that’s pretty fast.
Yes this is good. But I cant find the video of Zooko chatting with this other guy, it is very recent like I saw it this week where he mentioned next summer. I think the context was worst case scenario but I cant find it to verify…
I hate to say it, but it might get worse before it gets better, eventually the proposals that make the cut will have to merge/coalesce into a single solution.
Tempers might fray, toys thrown from prams, pouting & squealing as favourite features get dropped or tweaked - I think we’re more grown up that that (hopefully!).
I’m hopeful, as I suspect much can be resolved before the end of the year if the community provides a clear mandate. I do believe that some details may require a bit longer to work through. I’m highly encouraged by the tone and tenor of recent conversations and engagement.
Not sure. Think most people who have zcash have never come to this forum and have almost no idea what’s been happening with dev funding.
Oh most know its going on. I find it hard to believe in this age of social media that anybody could miss this. They may not know all the details or may not care to participate but they know.
It’s not over yet. I can think of some very worse scenarios after the dev fund debatte and discussion.
The non excisting miner signalling is one of the things i have some fear could turn again against the ECC/ZF, no matter it’s a ZF thing.
Than the result itself, a 20% dev fund may have a bad impact as might have a no dev fund, it’s a bit paradox, but there is a chance that whatever proposal is choosen it might hurt.
And some missed chances in my opinion:
- The trademark thingie should have been resolved a long time ago and Zookos trademark comment was badly choosen.
- ECC should have accepted ZF’s suggestion to convert to a non-profit organization, this would have shown a bit more will and faith in serving Zcash ideologicly than for profit.
- ECC had some good chancces by showing voluntary more transparency to get some sympathies, this chance was missed as well in my opinion.
- a lot more missed opportunities the last months that didn’t work in favour of the ECC, but i stop here bevor it gets again a long negative post.
Yeah that’s how you know the company’s death is imminent
hiring people
New team member alert: Steven Smith recently joined the team as Engineering Director. Welcome to the Zeal.
Perhaps it was said about zec
Market is green again zec jumped over 30$, could be this was the bottom.
Like 100 times before 
hiring or replacing people?
Nothing bad anyway, as long as there are funds for the monthly paychecks everything is ok.
If someone is into ai predictions:
You’ve been around here for long enough that you can’t honestly expect me to believe that you actually believe the price of Zcash is an accurate indicator of its true value but I do wonder at how much an increase in the price would affect your civility
Interesting question and statement.
Believing in value is very subjective and for everyone different. Something that could have a very high value for you could have no value for me.
That’s why on goods and stocks we have a price which reflects perfectly on which point someone is willing to sell or buy a given thing and give that value a price for the moment you buy/sell it. I would go even that far that whatever value something for me and you has doesn’t matter but it’s more important what value give the majority of people to a given product like ZEC as this is than again reflected in the price and that price doesn’t matter about our both valuation of a given thing.
About the second part of your question with what price i would be please i simple have to answer i don’t know and for me personally i do not care even as i don’t hold any ZEC. This means i do not have the pressure others have that must lower their average buy price to gain a profit or lower their loses.
Actually doing the calculation versus the time when i sold all my ZEC i could have today 4-5x that many ZEC for the same money, but this is not what matters.
Your post indicates that you think my bearish posts are selfish that you seem to miss that in many of my posts i mention that the worng choosen supply curve is hurting the ECC and ZF funding most. And here is the real problem why i’am bearish, less price means less funds for the ECC and ZF, less funding means less team and development, less development and team means less advancing in research and pushing ZEC forward, less research and pushing ZEC forward means less price and even value again.
Just answer yourself if the ECC and ZF would have more possibilities at a price of $100 or $10 per ZEC?
My bearish price predictions are the result of my calculations not the result of my wishes or dreams, lol.
Today we are at $26 and 0.0038BTC while i predicted nearly a year ago that we will reach 0.005 which i adjusted to 0.0035 and/or $25. I’am not responsible for these prices, i only can more or less calculate them and analyze why we are on such price levels.
We do you calculate next phase?
??? we = how? do you mean with next phase 2020 or what exactly?
