I missed @dirvine’s story of the self updating autonomous collective. I love it. I don’t yet comprehend how it would work when totally new features (i.e. processing) are trying to be added, but I’m coming along for the ride.
I hate the idea of a board. I want to see every invested party (those with a real desire to see things succeed) having a say in things. I want that “say” to be efficient.
To go along with the story we need to think in terms of the network itself being sovereign. We “ask” it to accept our changes. Now I’m feeling the “madness”. We can still crowdsource/fund new features into the system, but we need the features to be accepted by the entity (collective).
A lot of talk has been had around the 5% that the network will dole out to developers. What if that doling had everything to do with the way the sanitized nodes accepted the updates. I’m probably not being clear in this and I have to get back to by desk…
