[ANN] [XEL] :: XEL - The Decentralized Supercomputer ::

[smokim87]

Hey guys, bought some XEL from heat and withdrew it to my XEL wallet. I read that it takes 20 confirmations on the Heat blockchain to receive the XEL but it's been almost double the confirmations and nothing showing up yet. Anyone have an idea how long it takes on average?

Not sure but you could try asking in the HEAT forum too:

Thanks, posted. Hopefully I didn't noob out and send it to someone else lol.

This is the XEL asset address used for withdrawing on the heat exchange right: 9911527222839566773

Please take care of all losers with an IQ below 60. It is getting uncomfortable here and it makes no fun to reading regularly.
What began like an interesting discussion between scientists and researchers quickly transformed into a huge shithole. I wonder where such people come from???

No worries my Satoshi. Just bought bunch of mousetraps from Walmart ( the package indicates it can be used to eliminate Fudsters , dumb asses and other rodents too )

Finally the XEL showed up in my wallet..took several hours.

I'm going on 3 days with a btc withdrawal.

A casual day at bitcointalk: Projects getting more exposure, which leads to all kind of existing and new accounts to jump in - trolls too.

At least there is also https://talk.elasticexplorer.org

Elastic is better than golem, people will realize this later.

How can a community run project develop a supercomputer? Seems like something that requires many top notch developers...

Check out the proof of concept here:

Thank you all the devs. I`ve send my appreciation to you on block#25891 . Please accept.

Hi and thank you very much!

if your generous gift was directed to "all the devs" then it was wrong to send it to me. I cannot (and do not want to) distribute anything because I am just a coder and would never play the role of someone who manages any funds for the project or distributes those.

I have just sent those 150000 XEL back to you, but if you like what I do I would really appreciate a gift from you. The only thing is, it must be directed only to me so that I can do whatever I want with it without owing anything to anyone.

Other than that: you are a very good and generous person. Thank you for being who your are!

OK,I see. Now I`m sure this for you only. Please take it by your own. This is from Laomao and Alex_gun, for all of your fantastic work.

This is time to focus on our revolutionary product. What anyone owns is no body's business. To all Fudsters : You can't get cheap XEL . Go work, save and buy XEL like most people.

I know that this has been said before, but it is worth mentioning just because we encounter it from time to time - as much as these trolls are a waste of time for everyone and should be eliminated from this thread, it shows us that this project is getting noticed more. Before they where dormant and had no incentive to make their braindead noise. Now it seems they are crawling out of the woodwork.

I know I keep saying this, but for some reason the question keeps coming up every couple of pages on this forum.  There are NO paid devs on the Elastic project.  We (or at least I) have coded the parts I have, and will continue to work on it because I find the work interesting and feel that maybe the project could make a great contribution to the scientific community.  I have never asked anyone to be paid (nor have I seen any other dev ask).  If you want to see my stake in the project you can check the account in the OP for me.  I am grateful for those that sent the XEL to me, it was incredibly generous, but certainly not required.

But I am extremely tired of this conversation.  Hopefully someone can start a foundation that can have some paid people in it so everyone can finally stop discussing "who are the devs".  I don't wan't to be part of a paid foundation...I don't care if the paid people on the foundation do absolutely nothing...but at least you guys will have some people you can gather around like a soft little blanket to sooth all your concerns.

@Coralreefer - Trolls are disquietening to the spirit, but they're a sign of the great achievement you and EK have made.  They wouldn't be turning up if they weren't afraid of how successful Elastic can be.

Just press the 'ignore' button when you see their posts.  They're not worth your energy to even bother reading.

You know the community supports you and that's what really matters.  We're behind you 100%.

Ok thanks for the clarification, it doesn't look as bad as I thought. Although from what I've read initially the people investing in the project were not aware that their investment was a donation, and that the wording "donation" was only added at some point during the ICO. And there is still the question of what happened to these donations, which supposedly disappeared into the wild.

I am also pretty pissed off by this discussion. There was a donation phase at the beginning of the project. A donation phase means that someone has a great idea and wants support to pursue it. This does not mean that anyone offers incentives like revenue sharing or investment opportunities. It's similar to kickstarter, there is an idea, people love this idea, and people donate to make that idea reality!

So my understanding of such donations is, that there is this one point in time where the community or some John Doe says: "It’s finished. Here’s what we created. Enjoy!"

Everything else is irrelevant since it does not matter at all if any of these donations were burned, were used "wisely", were "distributed", got "locked", got spent on a "bling bling lifestyle" or if they themselves were used for academia. And not a single FUDster managed yet to give a conclusive argumentation how the code (the actual "It’s finished. Here’s what we created. Enjoy!" moment) is related to how or how not any donations were spent?

This just makes no sense! It does not matter! If you donate for someone to write some code and someone writes some code, how can you still complain?? To me it looks like a (i must admit, pretty badly planned and performed) try to spread fear, uncertainty and doubt!

A note to EK, and the rest of our great devs,

We have a great project with a great community here.
I am sure you will admit that you can find a lot of honorable people here who support it and support your work and efforts.
Do you respect/appreciate those honorable people? I think you do.
If so, please give our good community members more place in your thoughts and mindset, than you do for some of these random trolls who pop up from time to time to make noise.

Giving any of these trolls too much attention and letting them affect you means you are giving them too much importance - even more than you do to the people who actually deserve it and support you.
Please remember the majority here and disregard the isolated noise that arises here from time to time.
We are in this great boat together and we aim for greatness, lets stay on course and forget the unimportant.

Thank you

[coralreefer]

If you have reservations about this great project move on to other things and free us from your presence.

This is the other thing I don't quite get with all these posts.  I've never claimed to be a good dev (maybe EK is...he could be a genius...or a High School student living in his mom's basement...who knows)...

But regardless, everything that has been proposed to date is sitting in the githubs for anyone to review...it can't get more transparent that this.  So anyone can look at what has been coded to this point and decide the following for themselves:

1) The code sucks and looks like it was written by a 6th grader....fine then go away and leave us alone
2) The code looks good but could use some improvements...great, we welcome the help, please contribute
3) The code looks great and is heading the right way...then just sit back and be patient while we finish it

Are you kidding me? I wish the devs hold a significant amount of xel and I don't want to know how much because it's their money and didn't occur from any premine or whatever. Having a stake in a project gives you financial motivation other than the already existing one. Or do you think the bitcoin devs don't hold any bitcoin and develop just because of their kind hearts?  This is the healthy kind of development and the one I think elastic wants to achieve through the exposure in the markets.

HOLY SHIT!!!! You are an absolute legend mate! so generous. Well done good karma coming to you..

can't we just ignore those fucking morons?
