š Original message:Yes, I am familiar with the process as i spent years doing it. Many
here are familiar with the Bitcoin issues but they are not familiar with
addressing risk in a systematic way. There are many good posts but they
are dispersed among thousands of messages and the discussions are in a
variety of contexts. As a result, the same things are often argued over
and over and much time is wasted. Note that knowing a technical area
and knowing a process to analyze metrics are two different things.
I am glad you want to participate in such a process. Several developers
on this list have mentioned the need for a decentralization metric so i
think that is a good place to start. I suggest getting the other
developers/experts together and send me the various into and tools you
have and I will put it together into a useable format. The idea is to
create a living document so people can discuss changes in a similar
context.
