How's it going to be financed? Who's going to pay for the payouts?

If you ask me, it's on permanent pause.

Thank you for the bootstrap, that will help immensely. Currently I'm at an estimated 7 years 2 weeks to sync.... :p

You know, that’s your decision and I respect it, even though it’s opposite my views.

What’s more, and again, in spite of it being the antithesis of what I support, I respect you much more than the coward who simply tries to evade the topic or sweep it under the rug.

Like the people involved in DASH who say they don’t care about the instamine, you have the right to say you don’t care about the lack of documentation.

As long as everyone is informed, then everyone’s entitled to their own decision.

However, just as I respect you, I think it’s only fair you respect my point of view too, don’t you?

If there’s no problem with you saying you don’t care, what problem is there with me saying I do?

In fact, society values those who express their concerns.

I care about the lack of documentation and have been actively taking advantage of every opportunity over the last couple of years to say so and try to instigate a change for the positive. What’s the problem with that?

That’s one thing that should have stayed at that.

The problem is when you are intimidated, attacked and slandered for your legitimate views (and good documentation is legitimate, of course, it’s a best practice), and when it’s the Dev himself, then all the warning lights should go off. (And when it's personal character assassination, one should be duly indignant.)

Is this so hard to see?

I had him pull the “read the code yourself” on me last year with questions about how the individual algos reset their individual difficulty to mine settings and whether they were linked or not. I chalked it up to his own emotional limitations and not being able to handle the directness of our questions. What’s doubly concerning today is that a year has gone by and the same response was given to someone else at their first asking. There’s no emotion involved in being concerned about a pattern of behavior that continues to this day and flies in the face of all conventional wisdom regarding what it takes for a tech project to succeed.

First there was astonishment on my part, then indignation, and I’ve explained this enough already. Let it be a word to the wise, and to those who just don’t get it, we can all turn the page and go on.

(And no, even though these things would have been indirectly included in the offer I made to DigiByte, none of this was a material aspect.)

P.S. To those of you with your hallucinogenic theories about why this happened, or what my motivations are, etc., give it a rest. It’s not that complicated. It is what it is. You can accept it or not, but not accepting it won't change what it is. And the best thing, of course, is to accept reality as it is and not try to impose what you think it should be. Did I say a word to the wise already?

Bitcoin is rising again. Thats gonna have negative effect on every alt. but still DGB is holding strong.

I will appreciate your analyses, regardless its positive or negative if its objective analyses. But you sound upset and I get the feeling its getting personal for you, and if thats the case, I won't be able to trust your objectivity. Plus you are contradicting yourself. First your price estimate is ridiculously high and then you give it worse odds than Las Vegas casino. I didn't like your .001 prediction or arguments you gave to back it up, and I don't like your negative analyses either. Both of them are biased, based on emotion not on logic.
