so it seems to me that you are unable to contribute in a meaningful way, ie code
I wrote some code last year. I think this code consumed about 40-80 man-hours, not including setting up the tools:
https://github.com/shelby3/I have written other code that isn't published. But not too much code, since Spring 2015 when I coded an entire dating site in about 45 days. That was fairly large body of code. But in July/August my health collapsed. I was on a 10-day water only fast in August trying to deal with the worsening condition and I dropped from 80 kilos at the start of the year to a low of about 55 kg.
My health entered a basically entirely debilitating stage from August to roughly late October. Then I slowly recovered some stability, but really hadn't attained more than about a couple of hours a day where I felt sharp enough to code and the problem with that is the hours are too disjointed and can't gain any momentum (i.e. work for 2 hours, then collapse in the bed for 6 hours, then insomnia head on the keyboard for 14 hours posting in forum because can't code, then repeat or some other shit like not sure if I was asleep or awake go from chair to sofa to bed to jog to sofa to ... basically entirely delirious and very uncomfortable fighting for some relief).
I been on the herbal tea for several weeks, which increased my energy and gave me more consistency. I been on the sublingual Oregano oil for about a week, and this seems to give me perfectly normal energy and thoughts in 6 - 10 hour batches, but not every time I want it. And I still have some bad symptoms that want to return, but I take a lot of Oregano and the symptoms are muted, but I don't immediately get that good 6 - 10 hour period. I have to wait for the bad muted symptoms to pass away. So it is more under control, but still not healthy as where I could say totally healthy.
This is a process. You have no idea the battle I been waging here by myself.
instead you wrack up your post count.
I remain as productive as I can with the disability I've had, while trying to cure it. And I've also accomplished other things such as designing a logo for the new venture, and also written a several page detailed business and marketing document with 34 references cited.
I have also done extensive research on the technical design. This is akin to coding, and in fact I been doing coding in Rust to test out aspect of that analysis.
if you are spending all day arguing with trolls here, im sure there are better things you can do with your time
That is one reason I lash out with "idiot" when I have to repeat something that I've already written 10 times already in my archives. Often when it is on the prior page of the thread that person didn't bother to read or ignored.
for all the many issues and overvalued hype with etherum, for example, that kid has actually added some semblance of value to the community,
Diagree. He has stolen from the community. Sorry if that is what you call production, then you perhaps don't realize that at Vitalik's age I launched Neocept WordUp and ran a profitable 2-man software company. We actually had end users. I had no funding until I had already completed the shippable software. And then it was only $30,000, not $15 million.
Vitalik produces pie-in-the-sky fantasies. Sorry because there was a time when I sort of respected his blog posts and his math and felt he was someone to admire. But I've become wiser after observing him more carefully.
on the other hand you have added nothing.
I have added more correct technical and economics descriptions than Vitalik. And very important ones. Several new key insights this week.
i am not saying you are a bottom feeder, that spot is reserved for the various trolls and retards you seem to like hanging around.
but as for where you stand in the pecking order.
1) contributors to valuable, successful projects
2) contributors to useless, failed projects
3) spectators ie you
4) trolls and carpet baggers
Hahaha. Quoted for posterity. You better pray I remain ill. Otherwise that is going to look very foolish in retrospect.
Never been only a spectator. You don't realize how important the technical thought and analysis is. Coding is the process of putting the correct designs into software. That can't come until the former has been done correctly. Vitalik rushed and wasted $15 million. Coding without having the correct design is STOOPID.
for those who can, do. for those who cannot, write forum posts about it
So that means you are not smart because you post in a forum?
And smooth is not smart?
And fluffypony and gmaxell are not smart?
And satoshi wasn't smart.
Your binary logic was insufficient to model the reality here.
