Re: [ANN][DASH] Dash (dash.org) | First Self-Funding Self-Governing Crypto Currency
I agree
I spent time and effort, even at night, to stay on pace.
Changing the enforcement would have been on its own a sufficient reason to have my nodes update after a payment, and not on monday (mostly) cause i was sure that if a payment was less than 3 days distant it was possible that i was nonetheless missing it, with a bit of bad luck.
So this costed me money, instead of being prized cause i was doing my best for Dash.
Also, i was confident that if the official communication said "we are enforcing on Sunday" it was... official.
I also totally agree that stability and all it's important; next time i'd re-evaluate the way communications are done, but there is a major downside:
The "ghost" of enforcement was, I think, one of the reason for the very fast upgrade. Next time, people will just say "meh" and wait till it's mandatory, making the whole transaction way slower.
Think about it. I am "not in charge", barring the votes i have
but i'd still enforce ASAP

Maybe we should use a budget proposal to let the masternode owners decide when to make the enforcement. I would suspect that the majority would vote to do it now since we've already invested our precious time doing the upgrade.
The network does not exist in a vacuum, this is a hard fork. Miners and masternodes updating is the first and most important step. But once we officially hard fork partners and merchants on the previous version would break if not updated. We have an ongoing campaign contacting partners and services and are close to being ready but we will measure twice and cut once in this situation.
