@CfB, you've let iotatoken take over your project. He's the one obsessed with getting an 'income', I've never known you to be too bothered with $$, whereas he's always been out for money ever since Nov 2013. Always self promoting and exaggerating his abilities, always trying to attach himself as the gatekeeper to people with talent so he can take a cut of their money. Early nxt whales, Wesley, NXThaus, CIYAM, etc. Wasn't David the guy demanding payment from NXT whales for getting Patrick Byrne involved with NXT? That turned out to be a load of BS. What exactly has David ever done in crypto? The Big Deal, what's that all about?
Haha, this brings up so much troll-nostalgia that it deserves a response. I know you're a pure troll, but I will respond in a serious fashion just in case:
Actually IOTA started from my vision for IoT and CfB is the main developer of it. This has been stated from day 1, no idea why you have a hard time understanding that.
Wesley, Nxthaus and Ciyam was never Nxt whales.
Wesley was a UI dev that was leaving Nxt due to the whales until I campaigned for the whales to actually pay him for making the functional Nxt wallet. Nxthaus was a project that was much needed for Nxt at the time, so I helped get it funded. Ciyam, much like Bluemeanie was a scammer and liar that I exposed. As for Patrick Byrne? Yes, I did get him involved, remember that big boost Nxt had early 2014? All due to Patrick Byrne. Did he ultimately decide to not use *any* of the crypto platforms and instead form his own
www.t0.com ? Yes. Nxt could never fill the role he needed. See this is the thing with real business, you can't just sit around talking about bullshit, you actually have to get real people involved and make real use-cases, otherwise you're literally just typing code for the fun of it, which is fine if it's your hobby, not so fine if you're trying to actually achieve something genuine.
The Big Deal has been elucidated several times: it's potential interested parties that have played a big role in crypto adoption as well as big companies with interest in distributed ledger technology. This is what I do, this is what I have always done: I want to actually make these ideas into a reality through reality, not just sit around thinking about how to 'decentralize the world'. I've always been atypical in that regard, I'm not even a libertarian or anarcho-capitalist like the vast majority of the early crypto-space was. I'm a social-liberalist-technocrat who sees technology as a way to improve the real world, which only happens through real actions that connect the world of ideas with the world of execution.
David is known in crypto for three things - being rude and abrasive, creating divisions, and being obsessed with getting money for himself through leeching and harassment of other crypto people he thinks owe him.
Being rude and abrasive to trolls, for sure, I'm quite notorious for that and I don't think it'll change. I'm sorry. The rest is just pure lies, what person have I ever leeched from? I initiated the first organized effort in late 2013 to actually get Nxt into the real world, but the greedy whales refused to fund it. We had
70! people sign up to do work, but the whales high off the artificial DGEX pump refused to pay the workers. I predicted back in 2013 *exactly* what would happen if the whales didn't change mentality, and of course it came to be exactly like I said it would. That's the thing, you can't just sit on forums and think you'll change the world with ideas or whitepapers, someone has to actually have the vision for how this technology fits into the real world and get it there.
He doesn't appear to have any skills, experience or capital himself, and yet you let him take over and threaten IOTA just to further his own ambitions and agenda (i.e. a guaranteed income).
Haha, this is so false that it doesn't even deserve a response. I have yet to cash out a single salary from either of our projects, in fact I have repeatedly used my own money to pay for things for the projects. Failed troll, try again.
Entrepreneurs don't get paid a wage, so he wants to work as an employee, but you've let him take over the whole direction of YOUR project, and he's doing a bad job. You should get rid of him and employ a pro who can make IOTA successful. Get someone with an entrepreneurial background who understands how compensation works in a startup. This obsession with foundations & guaranteed income for David could destroy IOTA.
Like I just adressed above, I don't take out a wage. My vision for IOTA is why IOTA exists. I am very fortunate that my co-founder is such a talented developer with such a diverse set of skills, which is why I always prioritize his productivity. This idea that I could somehow destroy my own vision is just so dumb that it doesn't deserve further commentary.
I do recall a Nxt fork called NAS, was that your failed project?
