Still arguing I see, whats the point? Q3 is over and done with all we can do is wait a few more days for Q4. Time will tell......
I'm with ya socal
ughhh just pay us, DEV!
Situation here - like DEV is an asshole and Amber-Trade is scam - is not what we can call "truth".
DEV works for Amber-Trade for living. Probably as spokesperson (AmberCoin) + representative + developer (AmberCoin) + contact person (AmberCoin and digital projects) + project manager (AmberCoin) etc. Or something like that. All Company and AmberCoin bigger decisions and all financial decisions are made by Amber-Trade, DEV just "translates" communication between shareholders and Amber-Trade and can propose solutions and other things. AmberCoin is not DEV-s personal "money", AmberCoin represents Amber-Trade company shares.
So, don't be so personal. Dividends decisions are made by Amber-Trade / main investors, representing 51% of Company. Not DEV.
This channel (Bitcointalk) is not very secure and private, so Amber-Trade must very carefully select what and how to communicate - even world's biggest spy networks (including GRU, NSA, GCHQ, CIA, Chinese agencies etc
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_intelligence_agencies ) are for hunt of... not terrorists... business data, business intelligence of course! Many (all) governments are silenty supporting (funding) secret and undercover business information gathering for their companies, their taxpayers.
So, talk to much and Amber-Trade can be bunch of loosers. With all of us, shareholders. This is the main key for my eyes, why the present conflict (BTC versus AMBER dividends) was (is) actual. Just lack of communication.
There were difficult times financially for Amber-Trade due to the big buy. We voted for Q3 and AMBER win. How difficult times? We can only imagine, watching dividends for Q4, Q1, Q2 and so on, watching developments of Amber-Trade and AmberCoin.
Damn, I sound like
http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/english/arse-licking But real world it is not like cryptoworld, there are people everywhere and everything takes time.
In cryptoworld - I voted for BTC, made some of planned dividends with DEUR fork-trading and now burning with RADS (may be).
Personally, I don't recall ever calling Dev a crook, liar, etc.
What I've tried to do is express my point of view regarding what's happening here.
Problem is, facts are stubborn and people don't like to be wrong and/or lose money.
I CERTAINLY count myself among those people.
That said, $72,000 isn't a lot of money when you look at the sell-off that happened after the Q3 announcement.
Those that buy directly from AmberTrade are supposed to be secured, but, anyone just trading the coin is on their own.
Problem is, AmberTrade and AmberDev HAVE to respect those of us that support the blockchain - and that's not really happening with AMBER dividends vs. BTC dividends.
You make some pretty obvious assumptions regarding what AmberDev actually does, which is only speculation.
It makes more sense to me to look at what we KNOW about AmberTrade and AmberDev. At this time, they represent uncertainty and some aspects are somewhat deceitful.
The facts bear this out no matter what arguments/assumptions you make.
