Core developers meeting #17

Sorry for the delay, we had some issues with the upload.

meeting tl;dr:

Dev sync:

you should listen in

Downvote proposals / Instead of downvote: feasibility of DHF vote to be adjustable in pre-set % or slider

It's a controversial topic that should be discussed with the community more before thinking it through.

Lite accounts and how those can work:

To be listened in, but basically the current stance is that account are so cheap that paying the 3 hive will be cheaper than simply the transaction fee on most other blockchains and save a lot of dev time. And in the end with rc delegations (coming hf25!) and claimed account tokens, we have somewhat "free" accounts already.

Account token transfers:

Already discussed in another meeting, we don't want to enable that because it would make it a currency, leading to everyone claiming account tokens to sell them, raising the rc cost for the claim_account_token operation, meaning the projects who actually need the tokens won't get them

Delegation pools

coming hf25

Downward inflation adjustment (reduction)

Economical changes are to be discussed with the community, this is beyond the scope of this meeting that discusses the technical feasibility of such ideas. And in this case: yes np we can easily reduce inflation.

Incoming Delegation API:

This has been touched upon a while ago, we believe it will be better if done via hivemind, than the core blockchain core.

Add an expiration parameter to delegate_vesting_shares so one can create a set-it-and-forget delegation that will automatically be revoked after a certain delay. and create a related delegate_vesting_shares_expired vop to track when the delegation is removed.

The idea is to make most if not all governance votes expire-able, in an effort to make the chain less "dead stake" controlled.

that's it for this meeting, tune in next monday at 2021/02/22 at 5pm UTC (6pm CET) for the next meeting.

If you got additional questions for the next meeting feel free to ask in the comments.
