Flying Mongoose - Do you have anything to input as to what is going on?
I must point out something I must quote from a man (who many people believe was evil), but he did become the most successful man in the world during his time: Rockefeller (Or so I've heard that he said this.)
"When people are upset, I buy, when people are happy, I sell."
Personally I'm still accumulating.
There's nothing wrong with third party developers working on the coin, hell if I had more C++ experience (especially with Coins), I'd do it myself. Unfortunately I do not have that experience (yet), but I am actually working on that
.
Here's why I feel using third party developers is fine: It happens across the IT field, almost nothing you see distributed in tech nowadays has any exclusivity to developers. I know this because I work in contracted field(s). Not only that I have worked directly FOR some of these contracting companies (not as a contractor, but for the company itself). I can tell you that probably a good all of 1% of the applications you have on your computer(s) including operating system have never had a contractor's hands in it.
Now, Bryce left apparently due to what looks like (according to his twitter) some "ethical" differences. To be entirely honest, unfortunately, "ethics" has become a "catchall" if you ask me. From what I saw (in the series of screenshots) it was more attitude than anything.
I've had conversations with Bryce, but one of his tweets "I don't belong in a corporation" very well could be the case. But I still wish him the best, as I would anyone. And I also, of course, wish blocktech the best in their endeavors.
I know I've been silent (even in my own development) lately, but I've also been super busy.
You have to remember, BK is still a public hedge fund manager, which means managing all kinds of financial stuff and we're in Quarter 4... this is where a lot of the crazy hurry up and get shit done stuff happens (and it's happening to me too in my contract work), lots of unrealistic deadlines for not only developers, but for financial institutions, and all kinds of businesses (I myself have had a lot of shit for me to get done even in contracted work).
I was unaware of the issues prior to it, but ultimately the fact BK is looking for another developer just outright tells me he's still supporting his own coin, which means there's still reason to hold onto the coin.
I thought everything is prepared for POS and we are just waiting for the book... and now this... BK give out and dont give up! And rise a kNAUT!
Who cares about a stupid book from somebody that can't control his own coin and doesn't have a clue how Crypto works. This coin never had a developer that was dedicated to this coin, only hired devs when one is needed, working for months and still deliver nothing.
Dynamic PoS is proberly not going to happen and IF it does.....it's just PoS, like every other coin allready has. Dynamic PoS connected to some kind of indicator on Wall Street? Who cares, it's not paying enough (2-3%) and it's just inflation.
So the first thing you should do is SAVE YOUR NETWORK, then come with usefull applications....throw away that book, if we want to read something we use the Internet
The Dynamic PoS had nothing to do with a wall street indicator. It had to do with the velocity and population, coin age etc and other features of the network.
I have to say, as a developer, I've never worked on any coin code myself... but I expect I could have gone from Zero knowledge of the BTC/Naut code to getting the PoS released in beta in test net (from the first announcement of it) well before this.
Pilot, you and I have had a few conversations. I would posit, and ask, if you'd be willing to potentially collaborate on grabbing the current code, and seeing if you and I can do just that (as I stated, I'm not very good at C++ or Qt, let alone coin stuff), but I'm more than willing to learn. I personally still feel this coin can succeed, but it will take some regular dedication from people (and those who've been dedicated in it's community).
