If you want to speculate on software that is created by someone who isn't even a qualified software engineer then that is up to you.

(just don't complain when it all goes sour as you didn't want to know anything other than the idea you might make some profit)

What on earth are you talking about?

Software that uses restricted ports and hard-codes them is simply "shit software".

If IOTA is "just for learning" then why on earth take peoples money to do so?

(are you going to refund everyone for pretending to create a serious piece of software?)

Nope - it is not.

For a start - if you look at any of the "standard protocol apps" they don't hard-code the ports (so it fails at even trying to "pretend to be like a standard daemon").

I understand that you are probably being paid to post but you are clearly "out of your depth" in this topic (perhaps you should stick to the non-technical ones).

Did you not read the OP at all?

Standard *nix servers that use those ports are expected to run as *root* but not others (don't put IOTA in that list please as it is just plain stupid to do so).

If Linus Torvald supports your scam coin then I'll happily lock this topic.

Any professional software developer knows that you don't use ports <1025 for server applications other than those that are the most trusted (and generally oldest) such as SSH, IMAP, POP3, SMTP and HTTP (being the most common of those).

Bitcoin does not use a port <1025 and in fact basically no alts do either *except* IOTA (where the port number was actually hard-coded into the software).

Now apparently @CfB thinks that I need to enter into a 50 BTC bet in order for him to explain his use of such a port (that no other professional software engineer would use).

Also @CfB is in fact *not a professional software engineer* (he shows no record of having been employed by any company that anyone knows of and his code has been reviewed by several actual software engineers and described as being "terrible").

I do understand that most of the IOTA investors are just wanting to "get rich quick" so they probably don't even care but I do think that the point needs to be made that this person is "pretending to be a software engineer".

Again - no answer - and just insults (thought you were supposed to be the polite one weren't you?).

Let's expand this into a new topic shall we?

(I'll be happy to provide your non-investors with more information about your programming ability)

Again - if you had an explanation for hard-coding a port number less than 1025 in your "reference client" that wouldn't actually be very complicated to explain - would it?

But not for you - instead you have to be vague and then demand a 50 BTC bet simply because you are a scammer and can't actually answer a simple question.

Unfortunately your ego is now what is working against you and your scam coin (as it did with Nxt before). You have been "found out" for a very obvious and stupid mistake yet refuse to admit it was a mistake (that is your fragile little ego being dented by reality).

Amazing - I predicted what you would type in advance.

Fucking troll who can't code for shit - you just lost!

(yes - if you were stupid enough to buy into his latest scam coin your "guru" is not even capable of writing half-decent software as I've just shown)

Stop with the silliness already and "post your answer" (so I can show others why it is rubbish).

(of course I have no doubt you'll try and come up with some bullshit answer as that is what you always do)

Or are you so fucking gutless that you are going to hide behind "unless we have a 50 BTC bet I won't show my answer"?

Just as I predicted - you cannot answer it (only a fucking coward would resort to telling others they should search your own topic for an answer to a simple question).

Now go and check your scam coin topic and find your answer and post it please (we are all waiting now and would be rather disappointed if you didn't do that).

(again - he won't - because he can't)

I have proven that you are not even capable of doing basic software development you idiot.

He won't bother to answer the question as he actually can't (as there is no justifiable reason to do such a thing at all).

He fucked up and is now unable to admit it.

And that is?

(please enlighten us all)

Really - so you think it is "professional" to use a "root" restricted port in your software do you?

And btw - who exactly have you ever worked for?

I see - but not too busy to post that you are too busy.

(and yes maybe hard-coding a port number <= 1024 wasn't such a brilliant idea so perhaps you might spend your time more productively by fixing that rather glaring mistake rather than trying to troll me)

So you posted the other post for exactly what purpose?

How about you just delete your pointless posts rather than "pretend you have some secret insight about me" which you clearly don't?

(hopefully your IOTA non-investors are following this topic as well)

Oh really - and what are those "real motives" (please feel free to share your *insight* with everyone else)?

(and btw - "white and fluffy" would be considered to be insulting so if you are claiming to always be "polite" why are now you being insulting?)

Well in my case that would be from actual "real software development" (something you seem to know very little about) and that occurred years before I had even heard of Bitcoin.

In your case it would be about creating crap software and playing social games in order to raise funds (for stuff that never actually gets done).

Not sure why you think trolling me in this topic is appropriate (but you are a "legendary troll" after all so keep at it).

Well for a start that is an alt coin and CIYAM won't ever be that - for a second why aren't they already on mainnet (or have they not got their tech correct yet?).

(are you a dev or just part of their marketing?)

That is something I'll never do - but I will be releasing a non-coin "blockchain" later this year (with decentralised BTC and LTC trading being the most likely first application for it).

(not everyone here is just trying to "get rich quick")
