I use a different name on Discord, that can be linked to my real identity, so I am not going to share it here.

LOOOOOOL! Finally you admit that "Norman Alsbander" is a fake identity to spread lies.
Let me try to guess your real identity: IS IT MARVIN WISSFELD?

Well done coinfanatic !! You caught Marvin !!!

We are on the internet. Most people don't use their real name. I don't think you (also not providing your real identity here) can attack me for not providing my real identity....
I also don't get where we are going here. This is a discussion channel about Nimiq, not to speculate about my identity or your identity. You are trying to attack me personally because you got out of arguments on a technical and factual level. Please get back on-topic or go away.

In most of your posts you tried to justify the excessive salaries: https://www.reddit.com/user/normanalsbander

The excessive salaries

Marvin makes $200000 a year plus benefits while his Github profile proves he's working only for 2 days a month: https://github.com/mar-v-in?org=nimiq-network&year_list=1

Hey bro! His salary is $100,000 USD for a working day. Didn't you know that Marvin is the best coder in the world making $100,000 a working day ?

You are trying to cover up a multi-million dollar scam. That's why your identity matters. And you know that, Marvin Wissfeld.

You tried to trick people into trusting "Norman Alsbander" by using a fake identity which sounds like a real name.

You are shady as fuck. Everything you say intends to deceive investors.

That is quite some funny sarcasm. On the other hand it would be a shame if he takes the money and earns that much from the money that investors decided to put into this.

I go by the nickname normana. Noone asked you to try to find my real name from that and its your problem that you fell for some fake identity I use elsewhere.

You still failed to provide any proper information as to why Nimiq is a scam in your opinion, you just quote those provably wrong or unsubstantial things... If there is something provably scammy ongoing with Nimiq (beside the low price, which is not the definition of scam at all), please point it out, maybe it will change my mind.

Marvin makes $200000 a year plus benefits

So you got some insider information here? Because all publicly available information says otherwise. The highest salary as announced by the team is $90/h. Even that is less than $200k/year, and I doubt Marvin receives the highest salary in the team.

I can also make up lies and make them bold and red:

In their recent AMA they confirmed the team members make $90/h and "most people on the team get paid full time of 40 hours per week during the 52 weeks of the year" [1] which is at least $187200 without mentioning benefits.
The Github profiles of the lead developers, Marvin[2] and Philip[3], prove clearly they're barely working 2 days a week on average.

You forgot to mention that $90/h is the maximum upon team members. Based on their monthly burn rate ($200k/month) we can estimate that the average of their 20 team member receives at most $10k/month (unlikely, because they also have other expenses then salaries). $10k/month at 40h/week is about $55/h or $120k/year - including benefits (because benefits are part of the burn rate). It makes no sense to use the maximum team member salary and use this for every team member. According to this article, the average blockchain dev salary is more than $150k/year. So the average dev at Nimiq earns less than the average overall blockchain dev. If all these numbers are true (and I have no reason to assume the opposite beside you claiming so), this means that there is no reason to complain about salaries, as they are in no way extraordinary.

Your link to proof they do not work applies filters, removing those filters will improve the image a lot. Also you don't know what happens behind the scenes. For example the team says they are working on a new consensus protocol and this was also confirmed by a third-party (Reto Trinkler, Forbes 30 under 30). As this research is not public (yet), you can't see it on GitHub. Also other work outside of GitHub is not visible in your link. I am actually way more excited about new stuff and partnerships then about them changing existing code.... Oh: "merging commits of other developers" is called code review. It is one of the most important aspects of developing a secure application and takes quiet some time, so it's not a minor work.

MARVIN, STOP HIDING BEHIND FAKE ACCOUNTS!

[coinfanatic]

It is easy to debunk Marvin's lies:

Lie No1:

monthly burn rate ($200k/month)

Official transparency report says: "The monthly burn rate excluding one-time, irregular travel and short-term contract expenses was $245000." https://medium.com/nimiq-network/transparency-report-74d4d89933fe

Lie No2:

their 20 team members

Their website shows only 19 team members: https://nimiq.com/team. Most of them aren't "blockchain devs": 2 video guys, 1 chef, 1 girl for "Communication" and so on...

Lie No3:

the average dev at Nimiq earns less than the average overall blockchain dev.

There are only 4 "Blockchain Core Developers" on the website. Marvin is counting 20 to make up his story...

Lie No4:

removing those filters will improve the image a lot.

With filter we see in Marvin's Github profile
120 contributions in the last year in "Nimiq Network" https://github.com/mar-v-in?org=nimiq-network&year_list=1
Removing the filter we get another
48 contributions in the last year in "Nimiq" https://github.com/mar-v-in?org=nimiq&year_list=1
This is a very small improvement.

Marvin's workload is only 10% of a real blockchain developer (such as a bitcoin dev):
1,412 contributions in the last year https://github.com/laanwj?org=bitcoin&year_list=1


That's why Marvin is using fake accounts to cover up his excessive salary.

You are intentionally referring to outdated information. In the AmA a month ago, they announced about $200k/month. They confirmed this number in a recent blog post: around $200k-$210k/month

Their website shows only 19 team members: https://nimiq.com/team. Most of them aren't "blockchain devs": 2 video guys, 1 chef, 1 girl for "Communication" and so on...
There are only 4 "Blockchain Core Developers" on the website. Marvin is counting 20 to make up his story...

Seems you are right this time and I miscounted the team members, although 19 vs 20 is not a huge difference anyway. Also I count a total of 10 developers on their team page, not 4. So you are saying that the other team members get about nothing? Do you have any proof for that? According to the recent blog post, compensation for team members ranges from $20 to $90 per hour. This range narrows to $50-$90 for the development team. Of course we don't know what exactly Marvin gets, but it seems to be between $50/hour and $90/hour. The team repeatedly said they don't want to publish per-person salaries, so we need to stick with what we got, but saying that Marvin gets more than $90/hour is definitely a lie from your side if any of the numbers provided by the team is true. We can also try to ask Marvin if he is on the upper or lower end of the $50 to $90 spectrum, if that is so important for you, he is always very open for chats on Discord. I can send him a message if you want, or you do it yourself?

120 contributions in the last year in "Nimiq Network" https://github.com/mar-v-in?org=nimiq-network&year_list=1

Your reference to Wladimir makes no sense, as you don't only count his commits as a bitcoin core dev, but also all kind of other commits.

So, for the sake of the argument, let's restrict his commits only to bitcoin core, by looking at https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/graphs/contributors?from=2018-02-10&to=2019-02-09&type=c You can see that Wladimir actually had 65 commits to bitcoin core within the last year, Marco had the most with 222 commits.
Now doing the same for Nimiq. They have two core implementations (in JS and Rust) in separate repositories, see the commit counts at https://github.com/nimiq-network/core/graphs/contributors?from=2018-02-10&to=2019-02-09&type=c and https://github.com/nimiq/core-rs/graphs/contributors?from=2018-02-10&to=2019-02-09&type=c
You can see that Marvin had 85+31=116 commits to the core repos, Philipp was doing 175+58=233 commits, Pascal 151+149=300 commits. So all of them had more core commits then Wladimir and both Philipp and Pascal had more than Marco.

However, I won't say that the team or any of its developers did more or less than any bitcoin dev. This is because it is hard to rate the value of commits and the amount of work required to produce them. The fact that you tried to do this shows how few you understand about software development in general....

yes yes, very true statements. project dead, devs don't work on project but cash in $200,000 per year... maybe even more. they burned over 6 million dollars from 12,9 million. wasting money and not doing anything useful. project is a failure ico.
