Title: Cypherpunks write code: Making liars obsolete with the Bitcoiniest Altcoin Ever! Post by: death_wish on June 05, 2022, 04:15:15 AM Notice to the moderators: I am specifically seeking to connect with Bitcoin developers who are not unfriendly to altcoins. Not with altcoin developers generally. I am acting in good faith to do something for Bitcoin (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=178336.msg60275832#msg60275832). This belongs in Bitcoin Project Development—not entirely unlike how Blockstream Liquid or RSK projects involving both Bitcoin and non-BTC assets would belong here. I do wish that you would be stricter in kicking out altcoin threads that lack a substantial connection to Bitcoin, such as the ones that I just reported. If perchance this comes to your attention, please read the following carefully.
Cypherpunks write code. Satoshi changed the world (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=178336.msg60269495#msg60269495), and he didn’t do it by talking or debating. This is my Nicolas Dorier moment (https://nitter.net/NicolasDorier/status/898378514256207872). I recently saw some people say lies about Bitcoin. My trust in them is broken. I want to make them obsolete. I have a brainstorm for this—a grand dream—at this point, a fantastic pipe-dream which will stay that way unless I can connect with other developers. This project’s scope is way too big for one working alone, even to produce an alpha-quality MVP in a reasonable time. I know enough about project management to be realistic. And I do not want to waste my time, then fall flat with nothing but vaporware. The project is:
Requisite skillset:
Quote from: Intelligent regulars who are jaded from having seen 2^256 “oh please, will you partner with me” threads made by patent morons: You are unlikely to find anyone at all, let alone anyone meeting that extraordinary list of criteria. I know. Sigh. I am not one of the dullards who posted the various “please partner with me and code my altcoin token scam project for me, so that I can get rich despite having zero skills” threads that I just reported to the moderators. This post is a long shot. Good developers are rare, and usually busy. Fortunately, there are some very smart people in this forum’s development areas; and many of them deeply care about Bitcoin. Can I pique the interest of someone suitably qualified? Perhaps I may have a chance here! If qualified and interested, please PM me with this temporary key: Code: pub ed25519/0xBBB6D4C39A24DA54 2022-06-05 [SC] [expires: 2022-07-05] Current Public Roadmap:
Pay: None. Well, I can’t and won’t offer you any. I myself am a financial wreck right now: (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=178336.msg60091366#msg60091366) Low in resources, deep in debt, on the brink of even worse catastrophe. I should be doing other projects to make myself some money; I will need to balance any work here against that. Regardless, I am ideologically motivated to work on things I believe in—for free, at the risk that I may never make any money out of it. If my fantastic vaporware pipe-dream succeeds, then those who get involved now will probably get rich off of it. That would simply be the universe rewarding good deeds. It would be a foolish motive to work on this now; all of this is just crazy talk! Please, please get the hell out of here if your primary motive is profit. (Money will bring you back later, when there are free-market opportunities to profit here.) If I can’t find the right people, then I will pivot my strategy. But it would be a shame to miss this opening to put anti-Bitcoin forces on the defensive. VCs are categorically unwelcome here. Quote from: Me, in private chat with a non-coder colleague: > (me): *and* ... when Core ships `libbitcoinkernel (https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/24303)` , I will link and integrate it so that every node on my network is also a Bitcoin full node, running Core consensus code. > (me): It must be absolutely the Bitcoiniest altcoin ever! > (me): what a big dream... too big for me to pull off alone... Local rules: This is a workspace, not a debating platform. Prohibited: Off-topic posts, posts by people who don’t code (exceptions will be made only at my discretion), and anything that annoys me while I’m working.
