Er, no, he's not. Really, you can probably trust me on this........
But jl777 also isn't a shill for the 1%, he has a genuine commitment to the ideals of crypto-currency, even when those ideals could get in the way of a quick buck or an easier life. Check out his contributions to the current debate within Nxt about potential illegal listings ( a la Silk Road) on the Nxt Marketplace:
https://nxtforum.org/general-discussion/how-to-filter-out-drugs-on-my-local-copy-of-the-marketplace/msg182339/#msg182339I trust the guy, mostly. He seems genuine and competent. Of course, he could still break bad at any moment, but so could anyone......
This is what I mean by "having NXT by the balls"...
JL delivers maybe 5% of what was promised after one year...
And everyone sucks his dick because this anon person is "genuine" = Stockholm Syndrome.
I really love NXT, it's origins and history...
And everything it MEANS as a potential counterweight to Wall Street and Hollywood and Govt.
It's truly breathtaking to watch the core NXT Devs deliver feature after feature like clockwork...
Maybe 20 new versions since I bought my first NXT 10 months ago...
As a software engineer in a past life, the robustness of such a complex system is mind-blowing...
I really can't recall a problem after 1000s of trades and transfers and using the API.
Compare that to what SuperNET and nxtVenture has delivered after raising millions $$$$$$$$$ in BTC...
Basically MGW (6 distributed servers) and the copy/paste BTCD wallet released in mid-2014 with zero upgrades since...
And they still keep passing the hat around... after having sucked 90% of the oxygen out of NXT.
And now making noises about "burning through cash", etc = Exit Strategy.
Hey, FOR THE SAKE OF NXT...
I really want the guy to deliver and hope I'm being paranoid...
But I have DEFINITELY seen this exact, precise movie before...
Right down to the "just a C programmer" jive... and "I don't care about money" hokum.
Just deliver production software, baby... someone has to say it
