"For the sake of the members of the LeoFinance community involved, I hope this all goes smoothly and, once this experience in the cost of procrastination is behind us"

Actually you have it reversed. The "procrastination" is for us to build technology to make the transition as smooth as possible for our users.

Unlike Pancakeswap and other platforms that just foist changes on their users with very little notice. Changes that often cause heavy downtimes, headaches, lack of clear guidelines..

We could have foisted this change on everyone several months ago. Doing so would've caused weeks of headaches for every single user. We chose the better option of building our bigger ideas and pushing this off to the last minute so we don't need to impose any additional stress on our users.

Thank you for investing your time in a reply @khaleelkazi. While we see this issue differently, I respect what you are doing, "viewed from the outside," as much as that is possible.

"Actually you have it reversed."

Well, actually ... We obviously do not agree. And your explanation here has not changed my position, as the key point you would've had to address is the "cost" of your procrastinating on getting through this PCS V1 to V2 conversion long before now.

Do you deny there has been a cost? If not, do you view these costs as unavoidable?

All of these new "virtual worlds" are ultimately just software we all use on vast networks. Ending my long career as a Business Systems Analyst, one of the "we all know" challenges faced was the need to consistently ensure our enterprise had the "latest, greatest" version of any software. Full stop. Period.

Why? Well, as "we all know," the developers of it had "improved" it. And most of the time, you were provided clear warning that support of older versions would be ... "deprecated," at some point in time.

CubFinance just experienced that, from your description of our most recent problem we had with its Exchange functionality ...

"Unlike Pancakeswap and other platforms that just foist changes on their users with very little notice. Changes that often cause heavy downtimes, headaches, lack of clear guidelines."

Yes, I am sympathetic to this point. Clear and timely communication is vitally important in a well run enterprise. The absence of it always has a cost associated with it ... I could "call out" some examples a little uhhh ... "closer to home" ... but will let it pass.

"Doing so would've caused weeks of headaches for every single user. We chose the better option of building our bigger ideas and pushing this off to the last minute so we don't need to impose any additional stress on our users."

Hmmm. And now? Starting next Monday (if this particular projection of a launch date holds up)? This is going to be changed by your decision to wait until now to tackle this conversion?


Enough said. We're all here now and I am sure we'll all get through it, one way or another.

Hopefully, your own development as a leader of the growing enterprise you are building has reached the place where "contrarian views" are not only tolerated, but encouraged.

"As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another."

One of the most valuable perspectives I ever gained in over 35 years of managing teams of people ...

Onward and upward. Have a good day! 🦁🚀

It is amazing, that this conversation is even possible. Many social networks would be already full of hateful messages.

As iron sharpens iron...

Through your discussion I learned something new.
Thanks both of you for sharpening me.

Yes @solymi agreed. Which is why I am not on any other social network. Except this one ... And this one is certainly not without its problems ...

I believe it is imperative that differing points of view not only be tolerated, but encouraged. I am opposed to the far too frequent "echo chamber" approach seen all over much of the Hive blockchain. Hard to miss, for anyone who has been around for any length of time ...

That said, exchanges should be civil and respectful at all times. No personal attacks. Not "hateful." It is hoped this one will be viewed as such.

Thanks for commenting.
