Thus I will open private discussions with the Iota team (apparently mthcl and Come-from-Beyond only?) now to see if they are interested in collaborating.
Contact iotatoken instead of me, please. I'm just a programmer who happened to know some stuff because of necessity to implement it in the code. TPTB talking with David? I wanna see this...

Okay let the idea for collaboration die on the vine. Neither of us need more drama to slow us down. I was hoping you (Come-from-Beyond) were the only person I had to coordinate with. My guess is "David" is more of the marketing guy. Too many different personalities to harmonize with while we are trying to rush development, thus sounds like a potential recipe for disaster. Best.

Indeed, my role is management and marketing, not the code. Re: your proposal of collaboration, we have finalized the design of iota at this point and are in full development. This means that unless there is found to be some flaw in our design or your solutions would be truly revolutionary, (which would require that you have a whitepaper available within a few days) we will respectfully decline.

I know this might have been asked but...
1) Devs/owners are you going to have a token sale (pre-sale, ICO or something)? 2) Did anyone verify the whitepaper? Can the system work as it's supposed to? (I'm not qualified enough for this...)

1) Yes 2) We've had some reviews and have sent it out to numerous prominent experts in the space awaiting further review. So far no one has found any flaws, which is why we felt ready to go public and let everyone review it openly.

Hi, a couple of quick questions since the ICO seems to be the topic now:
How many % of the coins will the team keep?
Are you planning to prove somehow you're not "buying your own coins" from the ICO?
Is the ICO the only distribution method?

Not possible regardless of what they tell you. This is cryptocurrency, there is 0 validation of who is buying anything. You know better than that.

Not possible regardless of what they tell you. This is cryptocurrency, there is 0 validation of who is buying anything. You know better than that. I don't know. A lot of things have been considered impossible before, like scalable trustless electronic cash.

0% of the coins go to the team. The team will be compensated via funds raised in the ICO, no pre-mine. We'll have to buy our tokens just like everyone else. Yes ICO is indeed the only distributon method for this project for a couple of reasons: 1) It's the only way we'll get compensated for our work and development, since we have zero premine 2) It's the only way to ensure that the tokens are actually valued, which is needed to kickstart the ecosystem that will form around them and be part of their function

You forgot about technical impossibility to issue coins over time.

ie. we will have no reason to continue working on the coin as we will not be vested in it and have already received another currency we could cash out into FIAT

They will still have 90% of JINN.

We chose 0% premine because that is what is the absolute most fair to every party involved. We are basing our entire start-up around IoT, which we've been working on in stealth for a year, as explained in OP this is what prompted us to develop IOTA. It is a necessary ingredient for the vision of IoT that our start-up is focused on. On top of this all of us will invest our personal funds into IOTA, so no we have a ton of incentive to make IOTA a success.

It is more fair because it means it's entirely up for grabs to anyone. There is no coins arbitrarily set aside for the developers. If the community insist, please feel free to donate free iotas to us after the ico

What is the difference?
