4 years ago I'd like today to see some immediate action items for helping with the ProgPoW debacle. (My apologies for not attending in the past. I've been on the run from the virus, busy with the technical details of ProgPoW, and trying to earn a living.)
As an EIP-1057 champion and Core Dev I was appalled to learn that what appeared to be an official recording of our decisions was not. Including a clear decision to move forward with ProgPow. We are fixing that.
I'm also not alone in feeling overwhelmed by the disorganized lobbying on Twitter and elsewhere. After nearly two years stakeholders have had ample opportunity to make their arguments heard on forums like the Magicians' thread for the EIP itself, but still the community feels they have not been listened to.
I feel a real need to organize discussions that can elucidate WHY people hold the positions they do. The community is too large and amorphous for votes and signals to mean much. And the Core Devs can in the end only deal well with arguments of a more technical nature.
In this case the primary question is not "ProgPow -- yes or no?" but "ASIC- or GPU-secured network -- why and why not?"
