A thief steals someones tokens and the token holder calls ECAF to step in - ECAF agrees to step in and freezes the account (highly unlikely as it's not set up to act this quickly), the thief has not agreed to arbitration, yet ECAF agrees to arbitrate anyway. How is this arbitration when their are not two parties agreeing to it? It's not. It's enforcement. You guys are claiming ECAF doesn't have enforcement powers when it clearly does. If you're not prepared to admit to the powers you possess - why should the community be asked to trust you on how you use these powers?
In terms of the unresolved disputes - my advise to ECAF would be to resolve as many of them as you can before we vote via referendum and show the community your worth rather than holding these cases over the community as some means of political leverage in order to gain funding. A large proportion of the cases you guys have are in relation to the key generator phishing scam in which you have all of the evidence. Refusing to look at cases before being paid just looks like political gamesmanship to me. BPCs all worked incredibly hard to showcase their worth to the community prior to being voted in - why isn't ECAF doing the same?
'Your example how things could go wrong with ECAF on the protocol layer is not very convincing. Governments can't just say to it that it needs to shut down an app. ECAF can only make rulings on disputes. So first there needs to be a dispute.'
The dispute would be between the State and the Dapp.
I appreciate all you ECAF guys for coming on here and putting forth your side and for that I thank you.
