I like that they are really on the road, meeting people, having conferences and so on. They are doing a really good job.

Honestly, they should rather spend their time programming! The rest brings no real benefit to the technology at all  |

I am a dev and I a know I can only make a software better by talking to people using it.. And also by talking to people never seen it before. When creating a new software, actuall programming is about 15% of all the time. They combine marketing and feedback, which is amazing. |

No funding except for the ICO? Call me crazy but I remember an ico.
I can't take this anymore  Yes, donations were collected almost 2 years ago (Alerta: no ICO!!!) with the purpose to kick off the development process. This obviously worked, didn't it? It is absolutely irrelevant whether it was required to burn them, throw them in the toilet, donate them to charity, use them to quit the job and pay the running expenses while coding, pay for 10 litres of Kopi Luwak coffee per day to stay shap-focused or if some other complex butterfly effect was made possible to happen. It just does not matter. But there is one thing we can be sure of, clearly "creating a foundation, forming a corporation and funding developers on a monthly basis" was not the way the whole thing headed. It just didn't, even if you try to create the impression of the opposite. But this is fine, since it was never promised! You can call it what you want but I am just saying that if the SEC or whatever poke their noses into this it will be classified as an ICO. I would just rather not live in fantasy land concerning this just because it was labeled a donation later. This sort of jargon dancing will just confuse kids and piss off gov types while simultaneously misleading legit investors. I dig the idea behind the project as quantifiable decentralized compututational resources are literally the whole aim of all this but I think this is a mistake to not call it was it was. If there were tokens or premined assets sent out based off a "donation" ledger then.... Sorry if you guys get this a lot, I just see this as an up and comer and feel like something big is coming in terms of regulation and authority for all of us. I will see myself out now. Best of luck sir, good to talk to you again. |

The misconception of what socialism even is in this thread is disappointing. You all do realize that Bitcoin in its purest form is a type of communist concept right? Satoshi was trying to even out the field in the world of the haves too much and haves not much at all. Even XEL "Decentralized" motto should tell you everything Anyways I'll be shutting off my node as seeing members in the community just see this as a "get rich quick scheme and let's centralize it". I'll be watching from the sidelines. The only misconception here is yours and the only person who believes this is get rich quick scheme is you - that suggests you have not been here from the beginning. I think this also reveals your true motives - I think deep down you want it to be a "get rich scheme" for you and since it hasn't worked out that way you are leaving.
At least be honest about your motives and don't pretend that there is some higher ideal here. I don't have a problem if people believe in alternative ideologies - I just don't like people coming up with self-righteous bullshit to make it look like they aren't being selfish. |

Could you please leave out the political talk? Every time I read "socialist" or "communist" somewhere, I know I'm about to see a massive mudflinging fest, with no winner, but a lot of losers.
Agreed - the problem is that people keep bringing politics into these things when they don't get instant returns - it's a futile attempt to prove to themselves and everyone else that they are doing it out of interest for some higher ideal (even though they are not). It's the attitude that "If I'm not getting rich, this coin must be a scam". It's also a bit intellectually immature to assume that cryptocurrency will magically solve all the problems of the world. Seen it too many times but anyway it is probably best to ignore it (which I will try to do) but I get irritated as much as the next person. |

The problem is not the schemes or formations to benefit this or that, but the mentality of the people! It's ridiculous for someone to complain that the rich get richer and the poor get poorer instead of complaining and crying, why do not you work to get out of the situation? Many scorned ETH and BTC, do not do the same with XEL, because the end of the movie will be the same! XEL for moon.

That would take actually effort and work - actions. Most incessant complainers don't mind the talk but that is all they ever do, they never get to the solutions stage. |

It should be in your wallet - it just gets automatically added to your balance as far as I know. |

Many projects are destroyed or can not go beyond because greedy people arise and want things to happen anyway and without a product! Elastic is one of the few solid projects that has proven to have continuity with or without $! Please understand this and here is no meanness.
Good point. It is amazing that all the fights now I see are about greed and power,,, it used to be about coding or on how we should scale (oops sorry). Look at all these projects and see how many have products. Elastic from my short read goes on. Because the devs love their job. |

Slack is down.
No! I don't understand the difference between Golem and Elastic? Golem for now has hard coded use cases while Elastic allows you to program your own algorithm in an own programming language. To be fair: Golem plans to support own hand-crafted work packages later on. Also, the infrastructure is totally different. I hope that some day, someone writes down all differences both at the functional level and deep inside the architecture. Also, the funding of the team seems to be the biggest hurdle! The bank accounts of other people should not be your concern. But if you insist on doing some funding, please give my part to someone else! EK there are only very few people in the world that can make this comparison.. |

It should be in your wallet - it just gets automatically added to your balance as far as I know. It was shown under "forged balance" in my Account Balance's popup window but it was not added to the overall balance. When i re-opened my browser some time later it was neither to find under forged and overall. |
