BTS could have just directly told exchanges about it a week or 3 before the swap/change/update.
Assuming that exchanges are keeping up with any particular projects development just makes everyones lives harder.

It's not that hard to just mail exchanges some info and offer support (if needed) for the update.



To be honest, update was coordinated with delegates and delegate participation rate drop to 30% right after the snapshot, but even at chain with so small delegate participation rate Bittrex and few other exchanges keep process deposit/withdraw.
Everybody was quite confident that if even some exchanges somehow miss 4 weeks notice, they will stop deposit/withdraw automatically and nothing bad will happened.

Who are these 71 delegates that are getting paid and doing nothing? How are they still voted in?

How much BTS do they get per month again? I remember at one point Nikolai quit Google(?) or something to be a delegate and I think I remember him saying he got around $2k in BTS per month, but that was a while ago and it's probably not a current number.

Do you have delegates that fulfill particular roles like a 'communications' delegate that does the job of communcating changes to the community and the business related to it(like exchanges)?

Probably you misunderstand my previous post, delegate participation rate drop from 100% to 30%.
For all other questions, welcome to https://bitsharestalk.org  Smiley

Oh, I just re-read it and I think I get it now. You meant the old version fork only had 30% delegate participation and if someone understood how Bitshares works it should have been obvious that it was the wrong chain. Is that closer?
