DaoHub governance #1230

Closed bhack closed 8 years ago

bhack commented 8 years ago

Are we interested in DaoHub governance topics? Seems that this is a real interesting "on the road" experiment.

Thanks for reaching out and sharing those links. It seems a lot of the DAO community is going through the same discussions we've been having internally and as a community since the beginning of DemocracyOS.

Personally, I find the DAO itself to be a very interesting experiment from which there is much to be learned, although it is, as any organisation, vulnerable to exploits, as we've seen recently. I hope Ethereum climbs out of the pit they've fallen into, since a stable, secure, programmable blockchain platform could provide value for many kinds of applications.

Regarding DemocracyOS, blockchain support is not one of our priorities at the moment; we're more focused on addressing citizens' and governments' real needs in terms of digital access, interaction and impact, and since we're a small non-profit, we try to focus on as little topics as possible, while maximising value output for our users.

I do think blockchain-based persistence will be viable for systems like ours at some point in the future, in terms of ease of integration and user adoption, but we'll see how these techs evolve and are used before we make a move on that direction.

So are Democracyos and Democracy two separated project and orgs now?

gvilarino commented 8 years ago

I don't really think I follow. Democracy is a government system, I don't know an organisation called Democracy.

Do you mean www.democracy.com ?

bhack commented 8 years ago

Sorry was the autocompletion I mean Democracy.earth.

gvilarino commented 8 years ago

We are not related, nor have ever been, to that organisation, nope.

bhack commented 8 years ago

OK sorry I think that you was related with http://democracy.earth with Pia and Santiago.

gvilarino commented 8 years ago

Nope, we aren't. Why would you think that?

gvilarino commented 8 years ago

Pía was indeed a part of this organisation at some point, Santiago wasn't formally, and we haven't been working with them for more than a year, and we never had anything to do with their other org.

gvilarino commented 8 years ago

In any case, I guess this isn't a relevant issue for this repo, I'm closing this since there's not a clear goal for it. If you'd like to discuss tech additions for our app please see #1214 or open a specific issue/request that complies with our contribution guidelines.

Thanks!
