coin101, you deserve extra detailed answers, so let's get through this one by one.
First a pretty general statement in this post.
I will give more detailed answers later, to specific posts you made during the past few weeks.
The deeper or bigger picture idea was something I wanted to see happen. I thought there was consensus on that, but perhaps I was mistaken.
We both have clear consensus on two motivations behind spreadcoin:
- create incentives for people to run full nodes
- figure out a mechanism that helps fund miners (because literaly no one is more important than them)
These are the two goals that you outlined over a year ago, and you will always deserve full credit for coming up with them.
If you hadn't brought these things to the table over a year ago,
I would probably be working on something completely different right now,
probably turning spreadcoin into a decentralized searchengine or something.
(And in a way I am still playing out those desires as can be seen with the decentralized blockexplorer etc...)
So these two goals are awesome goals, deep longterm goals that can be milked for a long time.
You also deserve credit for coming up with the term "servicenodes", atleast it looks this way when checking the post history back then.
You certainly are the first one to loudly proclaim (in a metaphorical sense) that we have now entered the "age of the servicenodes", lol.
That is awesome and hilarious at the same time. You seem to have a special connection with crypto's "zeitgeist".
But having mentioned these two new goals that were introduced a year ago,
mr.spread has
already defined a foundation for spreadcoin that is just as important and interesting and that we can never forget:
- decentralization as main credo (he talked about "true decentralization".... I have extended this to "decentralize everything")
- unique mining algorithm that we further need to explore/extend
These are research areas that I want to invest just as much time in, as I want to invest in the goals that were added later.
So far I think we both agree.
This is my fault, not Georgem's. Please stop attacking him.
I don't feel attacked by the trolls, and I don't think this is in any way your fault.
It's like with the ISIS guy... to me it's just sad to see other people get influenced or scared away by the trolls.
But I couldn't care less, this will not affect me or my research/work in any way.
It's just interesting to try and figure out what the real motivation behind this
organized troll activity is,
I do have a few suspicions, but that's for another time.
