Hello everyone! I haven’t been in the community that long, but I offer the most objective point of view I can:
My vision is that yes, “it is better to work together than separately”. And I will try to describe the “sides” that Clement mentioned in a different way:
I see two very powerful dimensions:
- hard (development, incentives, research, crypto in general)
- soft (onboarding, guides, detection of ui/ux frictions, detection of unfair and fraudulent resolutions).
The basis were built by the hard, but the evolution was guided by the soft (Not talking about people). I see them as necessary and complementary for the growth of the project. However some people is more aligned/expert in only one of these dimensions. There are few people with one foot on both.
Similar but different, in the community I see the two lines of interest:
- PoH is focused on scaling to different dapps and build a more restrictive and resistant registry.
- UBI is focused on a more social drive, maybe more flexible.
But again, both sides can be enhanced. If there are sticking points, let’s discuss them and try to conciliate strategically. In fact there are some ongoing topics about the registry being flexible or not, depending on the use case, for example. Sometimes one side should give in, and sometimes the other side should also.
Nonetheless, if the people with leadership in the community (MB in principal but other strong members also) do not have the possibility (or the interest) to discuss, reconcile and give in, the path together as a community will be hard.
Maybe I’m a bit naive, but that’s my try ^ Thank you for reading.
