I see the DAO as a game of who can compromise it first and cash out the funds to themselves.
Yup that is what it appears to be. But can you fathom what this is going to do to all the bagholders and to ETH.
I got your point that maybe there is some game theory to how long you stay vested. You like Russian Roulette I guess.
The SEC will be coming... this is the event that will start the SEC's involvement in actively regulating CC. Thanks to Vitalik and Tual.
I don't consider DAO as fail, give it few more months it will surely come back stronger and better after all known issues have been fixed.
The game theory issues appear to be fundamental. Meaning they can not be fixed.
It is analogous to wanting to build a skyscaper to the moon. We can't do it. No matter how good our technology is.
Some things are truly impossible.
Yet, to keep The DAO from capsizing, Tual said he thinks members need to accomplish three objectives rounding out its list of curators, amending its governance model to see after the concerns of voting members and investing in sound business ideas.
Bribe the curators.
This is just the corruption of government we are all fighting to remove with block chains and then we bring it right back again and place this $150+ million UNREGULATED honeypot to attract the flies.
Since it is unregulated, the criminal mindsets will be drawn to this like flies to honey.
It is just a matter of time before The DAO is in political bickering and probably worse with the power vacuum being always a "winner take all" phenomenon.
