You'll have those people who keep using the current CLAM currency, and those who burn their CLAMs to get "Cooked CLAMs". You'll have two separate blockchains, two different markets on Poloniex, two different prices.
Or did I misunderstand?
In theory, majority of people would "cook" their clams to protect their holdings.
There would be no reason for people to stay behind on the "old" Clam chain.
The "old" chain would only exist as a secondary market (silver, to gold),
for people who have not yet dug their potential clams, but those potential clams can not be "cooked" after a certain date.
It is a way for the clam holders to be protected from future digs(new clam), and for potential future diggers to still have their valid digs (old clam).
I do not think it would split the community, just create a gold and silver version of the same coin.
Just-Dice, in theory, could accept both, the rich mans clams and the poor mans clams.
...
It removes power from individuals.
It gives power to stakeholders and the network.
I agree that CLAMour is a more proper way to determine Clams future, compared to just doing whatever the Devs want.
I'm just concerned that if a protocol change is agreed upon, and implemented based on what the largest holders want,
it could ruin the reputation of clam in the eyes of all future potential investors.
Many investors shun certain altcoins if those altcoins protocol potential are seen as wishy washy. It is a credibility issue.
When it is all said and done, I am just voicing my opinion, I have no expertise in coding or economics.
I just wanted to see if anyone had proposed a burn Clam evolution coin idea.
I do not claim to be arguing for the correct position or idea.
Just throwing it out there to see what community would think.
I have not even attempted to work out all the possible benefits and/or failures of this idea.
