It seems that as I intuited. DCG's budget proposal will go through smoothly this month.
It is evident, and much to my regret, that there is a clear centralization of votes in the Dash MN network, since there are whales that always move more than 200 votes in favor of DCG, and that is a sign that there is a small error in decentralization.
I understand that it is nobody's fault that there are whales with hundreds of nodes, since it is their money and their risk. But think for a moment that these whales have an economic and friendship link with DCG. This would mean that no matter what happened, DCG would always receive support, even with a conflict of interest in the face of perhaps more interesting projects that should be financed.
When I see things like this, I think of a father who has a big business and who wants his "dumb" son to continue the business in front of brilliant employees who could do it better than his own son. But the father loves his son, and in the long run when his son governs, the company will die because it is no longer competitive.
A shame. I've never considered getting rid of my MNs, but right now, it's the first time in a long time that I've seen a big, hard-to-fix problem. And I'm not talking about Dash's current performance, I'm talking about future conflicts of interest that are likely to appear in the future and could push out Dash's talent in favor of mediocrity.
All the best
Pang, you raise some good points and like you I am dismayed that the DCG_Compo proposal appears to be passing. The issue as I see it is that there are too few good men left in Dash. All the people that would have voted NO on this proposal with us have already sold and left. This leaves a concentration of fools that actually agree with the (in)actions of the DCG CEO Ryan Taylor. It is really hard getting the required votes to make the change. What I expect will happen is if this proposal passes, some of the NO voters will give and up sell and DCG's approval rating will rise. Ryan will celebrate himself and point to the super majority of yes votes as confirmation he is doing a great job.
