Be aware that you're risking your rep over here. 101 things can go wrong on launches. You know that.
Even PA will have huge impact on your reputation. People will blame you for anything, even it's obvious it's not your fault.
Do not share source with pool owners before launch, because there's always that 1 idiot who'll fuck up. Talking from experience.
Anyway, once more. Good luck. Waiting for the launch.
I appreciate the warning man. I am proud of the good reputation I have built and would hate to let down a community I have grown to admire and respect. But on the flipside, I also know the risks to my rep and am OK with putting it on the line due to the amount of work we've put in. Nothing ventured, nothing gained! I have made big mistakes and failed hard; I will continue to make bigger mistakes and fail harder. That is a natural part of the path to successes.
I have already anticipated what kind of comments trolls and detractors might make. Most of my FUDfighting will consist of telling people to reread the thread in detail, as I plan on covering as many bases as possible before lack of information becomes a problem.
Bottom line is that this forum is a launchpad to seed early awareness and present a potentially rewarding opportunity to early adopters, cryptocurrency miners, and others within the existing sphere of influence, in exchange for initial price discovery of RELC and network security. Once this is established-- and it won't take long-- and ESPECIALLY if my valuable time is being consumed fighting trolls-- I will be locking the thread and redirecting all seekers of information to in-house controlled sources. If things go according to plan, the relevant conversation will grow beyond this forum very quickly. Most importantly, we are using a simple "1.0" blockchain with a few bells and whistles. Once we launch smoothly and transparently, there won't be many toeholds for trolls or detractors. Focus will move quickly to the underlying Relnuz software into which a functioning blockchain token will be integrated. Most complaints will be along the lines of, "Hurry the hell up!".
There is a method to share source with pool owners and everyone else for the purposes of code-vetting, without allowing for mining to start, via implementation of a hidden checkpoint which is released at time of launch. We are exploring an implementation of this, and the standard alternatives of password-protected archives released during an anti-instamine phase.
Honestly I feel there are a lot of positive contributors in the cryptocurrency community who want to see RELC and Relnuz succeed, and will help fight FUD alongside me if they speculate that they can ride along for some profit.
Don't speculate what you can't afford to lose and you should do OK.
