RE: Erkan is criticizing more...
My only concern with this is that you see the general behavior in the crypto-world is for pumpers or general fanboy-ass-hats to attack other coins just for the sake of it.
If you are going to criticize, please clearer about what you mean, for example 'negative/unfair history', Im here in the community since 2015, I dont recall anything like that. To me, that does count as FUD, because with a lack of explanation it can only cause FUD.
I believe your intentions are good @erkan and we must be happy to criticise ourselves, but please make it clear so you are spreading knowledge, not fear.
I agree. I am also a fan of constructive criticism. We can point out alot of things that are not ideal but it is much more important to think about what we can do about it. You cannot change history. So what options do we have? Start over and try to make it better or try to improve gridcoin to make it as great as it deserves to be? Since I beliefe the decisions made in the past were made in good faith and approved by the then active community I am on bord with the latter.
cryptocurrencies are a great experiment and I can definitley see Gridcoin moving in the right direction and learning from the past.
And by the way I don't think there is an objective view on how a "fair" distribution scheme looks like. If you take a look at all the cryptocurrencies out there, there are nearly as many distribution schemes.
to an extent. we can't do something unless the problem is widely known. consider the superblock issue: it was a known problem but didn't necessarily need fixing until the use of GRC grew and its problems became known. the 48% problem is not known to a lot of people new to crypto, and it's alright if they get scared off the first time so long as the issue gets fixed. those who don't stay the first time they hear a name are more likely to stay the second time, particularly if there has been real development in the time since they said "screw this scam coin."
point being, i do not think we should worry about scaring people off when it comes to these issues, however I do think it is important to put it all in context during the discussions with the general public.
Good comment
