It’s really thrilling.
The amount of destroyed share days is slowly rising and approaching 50% while the ratio of blocks containing the motion hash is hovering at 50% give or take a fraction of a percent.
Very exciting!

There are a few issues that we should resolve before the code is opened. I think we should not open it immediately.

Agreed. The motion states we have 45 days to open the source code, so we will open it sometime in that window.

[Cybnate]

Well IF it passes today or tomorrow, I hope it doesn’t come with too many Easter eggs in the code 45 days is very close to Easter.

[zoro]

youknow that the NU wallet has some issues? i mean if i set a motion and the wallet then closes for any reason, the motion dissapears when i reopen it!

[CoinGame]

Then you are using an old version of the wallet. I believe that bug was fixed in 5.2, but is still present in previous version. Please download the latest version from nubits.com/download

[GreatScott]

With the recent exco.in and bter.com hacks, I think it is worthwhile to ask ourselves if this is good timing to open source our code. I will be honest here, I have removed my vote for this. Though, I know there are good things that can come from open sourcing at this time. Does anyone have any comments considering the events of the past week?

[creon]

With the recent exco.in and bter.com hacks, I think it is worthwhile to ask ourselves if this is good timing to open source our code.

I don’t see how these two things are related. What we urgently need right now are new exchanges, and we will get many by opening the Nu source.

[CoinGame]

As I had stated before if we do have issues after going open source it’s better to resolve them now while we’re a smaller network and it wouldn’t impact many people. We want Nu to be its best in the long run. Hiding our source code because of events unrelated to the functions of our network would be a short sighted decision.

My worry is that our exchange options are really weak right now. While I realize open sourcing will rapidly open up more exchange options, I am also of the opinion we do not have as much of a leg up on any competition and may be somewhat knocked down off our feet. We must assume we are competing with ourselves the day after we release the source code.

[creon]

I see your point, but if we do not anything we can to improve liquidity right now, a competitor that is developed independently of the Nu source (but maybe based on the Nu whitepaper) could release with source code and get all the attention because it will be added to various exchanges, which will suppress our liquidity even further.
