and which VC would that be?
Nice try, you'll find out when everyone else does when we make the joint announcement.
I see, so we have to play along until the point at which you announce the
secret VC that will grant someone money to develop an open source P2P bitcoin exchange.
would the VC just announce themselves that they are looking for proposals? I mean that's what normal sane people do when they want to fund something.
Perhaps it is just me, but
*if* Charles is telling the truth then your attitude and pre-judgment of the actions of those whom have money and connections may not the best way to win funding for your ideas. If you want to presume he is lying then that is a fairly serious accusation.
So, perhaps we can get past the VC funding / management debate and talk about what you are bringing to the table. Part of BitShares is an attempt to eliminate the need to store the transaction history for all time. Without the full transaction history there needs to be a way to have 'confidence' in the initial condition of the 'chain'. I have been discussing ideas and have some approaches that I think will work, but part of confidence is simply trusting others and perhaps there is some use of combining confidence chains to help certify the initial condition of the block chain from which the past months transactions are built upon.
