I’d be irritated too, if I was in your shoes, but the fact is, the ZOMG is trying to prototype a new process. To attribute some kind of formalized intention to their requests, i.e. to “how the ZOMG wants to fund the Zcash ecosystem”, is a bit of a stretch wouldn’t you say?
I cannot imagine someone in this community simultaneously believing that the ZOMG is both “doing it’s job well”, and failing to fund zecwallet. To me those seem mutually exclusive.
Don’t get me wrong… I was the first person (If I Recall Correctly) to assert that the requests the ZOMG made were both poorly framed, and In My Humble Opinion counterproductive. <–(Meaning that they would lead to a needlessly inefficient process if adhered to.) If my memory serves there’s been personal friction between you and Sarah Jamie Lewis.
I believe you Aditya that, your model has been very effective so far (as far as I can tell), and I depend on your app for my daily financial transactions.
But, since we all know that the ZOMG’s process is nascent and evolving, let’s not pretend otherwise.
You mention that your own development process involves running many (sometimes costly) experiments. You say (and I completely agree with you) that that model is inconsistent with the proposed funding model the ZOMG offered. But don’t you think it’s a reasonable thing to allow the ZOMG to run some experiments, i.e. make some proposals, some of which fail? Or rather do you expect them to produce a perfect process without trial-and-error?
So… now you’ve got most of the community kow-towing to you… or would you like to frame this thread in a different way? Personally I think it’s an apt description of how our little band of ape-like creatures is responding to the posturing among the Top Apes. It is after all, what our brains are evolved to do.
More to the point, I am afraid. I am afraid that you, or Sarah Jamie Lewis (or some other Top Alpha Apes) will carry out the threats your posturing implies. As a hapless Lower Ape… I mostly just have to beg that you Toppers higher up the pyramid won’t trample the Little Users whilst engaging in your none-too-pretty petty power struggles.
If this is where it’s left, then… too bad for the Users.
