The dickhead (not referring to Dan, unless he is a sockpuppet troll here) is going to learn something about reality soon[within a few months].
Furthermore, I (claim I) solved the problem of how to do a million+ transactions per second, entirely decentralized, no voting, no proof-of-work, no proof-of-stake, back in Q4 2016 when I wrote 30+ page white paper.
My recent blog which afaics strongly evidences that Dan is not thoroughly qualified, was excerpted from that white paper.
Vitalik is finally getting closer to my design as I have taken so long to get my design to release. But afaik he is not quite there yet.
Because the dickhead keeps slandering my coding performance over the past couple of years, I want to set the record straight on this matter. I tried to ignore it, but he continues repeating this point beating me over the head with my chronic illness debacle. Because he is evidently an absolute scumbag similar to @DecentralizeEconomics. I would have preferred to settle the issue privately with him, but he is too much of a faggot (keyboard warrior so brave hiding behind the network) to face me in person man-to-man, so therefore I will set the record straight in public.
The only thing that stopped me from releasing it earlier in 2017 was because I was undergoing a 6+ month antibiotic treatment for disseminated tuberculosis which was so toxic to my liver which in turn was so neurotoxic (the meds are known to kill 0.02% of those over age 50 due to liver toxicity and 2% can not even finish the antibiotic regimen due to liver toxicity, additionally my liver was already beat up for having the active form of the illness for so many years prior) that I could not maintain the concentration and mental energy to code. I battled this problem every day for years. It was (perhaps still is) a debacle which words can not adequately describe.
Liver toxicity combined with auto-immunity (because the immune system is attacking the body tissues infected with the disseminated bacteria) mimics the symptoms of Multiple Sclerosis (because the endocrine system gets messed up), and this can mean severe brain fog, chronic fatigue (meaning not enough energy to tie shoes), and numerous other symptoms. The closest most of you have experienced to this, is drinking a bottle of Tequila (including the worm) and being totally shitfaced hungover with dry heaves in the bathtub the next day. Now imagine that condition for years. Would that make you irritable?
And then there was a several month recovery process.
All those investing in EOS long-term be forewarned. I am probably going to destroy your investment. Short-term FOMO speculation I can not impact.
Good luck.
(And no, I am not short EOS. And no I am not promoting my project, as I am not even going to announce it on BCT. I am forced to write something to correct lies of the dickhead. No choice).
I have created million user software all by myself in the past such as one of the first easy-to-use, drag+drop WYSIWYG web page editors Cool Page which had ~1% market share of the entire Internet in 2001. As well, I am one of the early co-devs of what is now Corel Painter (not Paint), the first that simulated the physics of natural paints and media and pressure. I have worked with for example Lee Lorenzen who created Ventura Publisher, one of the worlds first WYSIWYG desktop publishing software back at the time of that revolution in the late 1980s before Aldus PageMaker and Adobe Photoshop. I even created one of the first such software in the late 1980s named (Neocept) WordUp, but for the Atari ST. I did not switch careers from an entirely unrelated industry just to get into blockchain development. I have been a computer programmer and computer scientist all my life starting at age 13 in 1978. Was a contractor for EOS Photomodeler in 1996 and created the 3D Viewer and some 3D import/export formats, before I created my Art-O-Matic software and then Cool Page after that. Then after making a lot of money on Cool Page, I basically retired until I got interested in blockchains, because I had not found anything to work on that interested me sufficiently and which could make a world impact. Also because my life took a mid-life crisis dive in my 40s (some destructive quagmires I got snarled in due to choice of a wife and I guess we can say wanderlust/disgust with USA culture at the time), which is the reason for the health problems and eventual poverty (by 2013/4) which I ended up (coupled with an illness that prevented me from working effectively), which I am now climbing out of.
I am going to make you STFU dickhead. Most likely, as @DecentralizeEconomics has done due to his failure of judgement, incorrect slandering of me, and subsequent failure & embarrassment, you will crawl into a cave and disappear.
In fact, if I had not had disseminated Tuberculosis from 2012 - 2017 (but did not even know what disseminated TB was and thought I had Multiple Sclerosis because the symptoms were similar), I would have produced software in our crypto industry many years ago. Many times over those years I thought maybe my health was improving (because it turns out that high dose vitamin D3 spurs the immune system to fight back), but then it relapsed (because the TB bacteria will lay dormant to hide then re-emerge) and I did not realize I had a disseminated (meaning not confined to the lungs, but also in the lymph nodes, gut, possibly brain, etc) bacterial infection. It was not until January 2017 that I was diagnosed. I was there discussing the technology with them since 2013. Charles Hoskinson offered to create a project with me before he approached Vitalik to create Ethereum. And that was when he told me what Dan did to him, but I encouraged him to create another project and not be downbeat. And no I will never repeat what he told me to anyone. It is private. But I refused because the technology was not yet mature. But those guys (Dan included) wanted to rush and release something before they had developed the technology. I had even warned Charles that Turing complete contracts on a blockchain would lead to some sort of DAO attack. And I refused to get involved in selling an ICO in 2014 and all that noise. I told him I was not ready and to go ahead without me. Also I knew I was sick, but not as sick in 2013/4 as I became in 2015/6. Note Charles has subsequently pointed out in public that he was against the ICO and wanted Ethereum to take investment from venture capitalists instead.
I am not like that. I do not sell hype. I create solid technology and products.
Just to set the record straight on your lies dickhead.
Actually I had always thought that Dan was genuine but just a bit weird/myopic in terms of his design choices and political-economic philosophy. But the premeditated
sneakyfastmine of Steem (wherein he wrote a blog in advance announcing they would do that) to grab 50+% of the money supply for an oligarchy of whales caused me to start to doubt whether he was innocuous. But then I realized he did not have much choice because DPoS does not function properly with chaos in voting (he was
frustrated the Bitshares governance was not working correctly to approve funding for some of the things he wanted to be worked on) and must be controlled by a like-minded group of whales. And Steem was somewhat interesting because it was the first experiment for onboarding the masses. And the first with a front-end interface and use case outside of just a wallet. So I rolled with it and used the lessons learned (such as
my blog mathematically figuring out that voting from minted tokens of the collective can never be fair and must aggregate to the whales) there to guide my project plans. But the $2 billion “useless token” sale and all this distortion of the material facts while ridiculing others in the industry is way over the top and has lowered my respect for Dan even further into the gutter.
Personally I got interested in decentralized ledgers (decentralized coordination) because I wanted to try to see if we could change the structure of the world, not right back to same ole shit. Wallstreet, money, governments, and corruption. EOS appears to be knee deep in that shit.
No problem with competition. Competition is good. But all the lying and slandering of reputations of others is abhorrent. We do not need that kind of shit in our industry. We need to compete and find the best solutions for decentralization.
I am not slandering Dan. I am writing factually. Dickheads are not writing factually about me. Thus the necessity of this post.
And to reiterate, what really set me off was @chryspano claiming that I am subservient to Dan, just because I was a blogger on Steemit as if I work for them (the hierarchy of whale oligarchy in Dan’s kingdom blockchain projects). Lol. In your dreams, mofo.
sladering your superior doesn't earn you any credibility points
Cut out the crap, I was teaching and refuting @bytemaster (aka Daniel Larimer) on these forums back in 2013/2014 way before he became a big time scammer
doing premeditated illegal securities issuance.
And let’s not forget
my blog and a companion BCT thread urging going all in on BTC when it was ~$600. And the screaming all over the forums to buy LTC at $6 because it was going to $50, then $100, which caused a ban. And what did LTC do? It went to $50 and then $80 (where I sold and repurchased at $40s) and now it is going to $100 - $150. They key there was selling at $60 (on the bounce from $40s) and buying BTC on dip at $4000 with the proceeds (which btw I did not do even though I thought about it, bcz I was busy on other more important matters and because I had not yet time to sort out my thinking on the timing of any possible SegWit booty theft attack, but I did sell some at $60 for BCH). As for Steem, I cashed out as much as possible at $4. Looks to me that @chryspano is still holding bags which I may send to zero price (although chart wise, looks like Steem might have another huge move up which presumably would be due to its first mover established marketshare and perhaps some key change that will be made such as partnership with a major social network?, but not certain).
Remember anything can happen during competition. The best laid plans of mice and men can be disrupted and this can cut both ways.
But there is no need to be lying about material facts. Compete on the merits not sleazy.
In the meantime Dan is building scalable blockchains with governance systems that are years ahead of any "competition" while others cling to the past and are showing their envy with FUD, no, FUD is not the right word, BS is!
Governance = centralized clusterfuck, due to the political-economics science of voting. Thus
not Internet scalable. Transaction volume scaling is not the only facet of scaling.
Here is a key example wherein a whale can cause censorship:
The entire fucking point of the game theory of Bitcoin is to be immutable and remove governance. Now we await to see
if the SegWit “pay to anyone” booty will be stolen with a long-range chain attack restoring the immutability of Bitcoin, or if the game theory failed.
What is the use case of the new Dtube app for Steem is the whales can censor content
the same as Youtube is?
