WARNING suspicious behavior with mtrlt

[FreedomCoin]

We have been waiting awhile for it, seems the amount of updates has slowed down. I am sure he has a life but last i checked he was almost done, i wish he/she would just finish it up. Of course not so fast where it needs to be updated right away.

It wasn't a troll comment. It was actually an interesting comment that pointed out something that was obvious but also something not a lot of people would realize. Deleting the comment was childish at best. And if most people would think he's being overpaid, then he is probably being overpaid, especially when you consider that he's likely not working full time on it. He presented the information in a neutral fashion.

A neutral fashion? Bwahahahahaha.  Give me a break.  While 75 BTC is a drop in the bucket for a few people, it is lot of money to most and riches beyond belief for some.  Considering minimum wage is like $10/hr, posting about it being $51/hr "IF he worked full time on it" and the Daaaaaaammmmmmnnnn comment/picture makes it look very inflammatory to me.  Hell, I was an E-6 in the military and felt I was pretty well off making around $20 an hour when I retired 7 years ago.

Fair enough, the picture wasn't neutral, but it's not like he lied about anything. He pointed out something. If lots of people would think he's being overpaid, then maybe he is. If not, then he has nothing to worry about.

'He pointed out something'  "Oh, look, a bird..." "HOLY SHIT!  LOOK AT THAT!"  2 different ways to say the same thing.  1 is pointing something out, 1 is causing hype and/or panic.  Ok, let's say you are right, he was only pointing something out, then why this thread?  This is a delibrate attack not an innocent post to point something out.  The guy claims in one post he has no interest cause he can't mine and that he is bitter.  He offers to buy the miner using escrow in another post.  He claims it's not meant to be inflammatory then lights the flame himself.  Face it, the guy is BUTTHURT over the fact that he (intentionally/unintentionally) lit a shitstorm and his post got deleted.  Now he is *intentionally* trying to incite riot.  Rationalize it any way you like, the guy is a loser AND an ass.

1) *IF* he has not paid and has no vested interest in the project, why is he throwing a wrench into the works?
2) *IF* he HAS paid and feels he is being ripped off, why is he lying?
3) Why is he bitter?  Is he jealous that he cannot create this and therefore isn't making the same money?  Or maybe he feels it was his idea and it got stolen?

Well, you guys sure got all of your panties tied up in a knot.

As I said, I'm not dishonest. I'm just bitter. I provided the information, simply because I thought it was interesting, and the information was accurate. (To my best ability.)

The Daaamn gif was only to express how surprised I was of the situation. It's an exceedingly good situation - for him - all while being legitimate too. The guy went to college/uni so it is no surprise he can do work at 55/hour.

Relax.

Has anyone gotten any update in regards of anything from mtrlt? It appears he's disappeared and left us all without updates.

He could have run off with the 70 BTC AND the miner for all we know, and we'd have no legal or nonlegal way to make justice.

For the information of mr. bcp19, I'm bitter because that's the kind of person I am. Also, I'm dying, so thanks.

Fun Fact!

You have been working on this GPU miner for 3 weeks now. Provided you are working full time, which is considered to be, in the USA, 8 hours daily, you have been working with a wage of 51.1 USD/Hour, earning a current total of 75 BTC/8,588 USD. (Current Mt.Gox rate) https://blockchain.info/address/1FKfgFQeZCpjGDn7ocgj26nk4K2TNiVJyD


Daaaaamn.

I've been a developer and I've managed screeds of developers, so I'm talking from a position of some knowledge (although others on the forum will back this up as well). On a full-time basis, $50 an hour is a pretty standard rate for a mid-level developer in the US. If you're looking fora  freelance developer, expect to pay a premium ($65 an hour is a good mean). That's for relatively common stuff - Ruby on Rails, node.js, Python, PHP (Laravel, Yii), C++, C#. Go to something arcane - weird frameworks, unusual hardware, CUDA or OpenCL software - you're going to be paying $100+ an hour.

To be brutally honest, I think his estimate as to the length of time it would take to complete this was premature. That notwithstanding, the rate he is currently "earning" is below average for the task. Comparing it to minimum wage is laughable - that specialist developers earn a lot of money goes without saying.

Of course. Such jobs always pay well. This is not the surprise.

You will be hard pressed to even find yourself a minimum wage job these days. That is, unless, if of course you have been treated very well by life since childhood. (You had rich parents to pay for university to gain skills for a high paying job, etc.)

The surprise is that he has gotten so much money from mere Donations, where he could legally run off with it and give us nothing in return.
