A little comment regarding anonimity of a developer:
Whos the guy named satoshi nakamoto who created bitcoin and holds around 1.000.000 btc?
@nxtchang
Facepalm lol
coin =/= IPO
EDIT: I invested in NTX IPO (BCNext was anonymous too)
EDIT2: Escrow could solve most of the issues regarding trust
I am only asking for direct access to 1% of the funds. 99% will be in escrow(s)
I dont want the money, I just want to make sure the SuperNET funds are used wisely. If anybody else wants to be the decision maker, just prove to me you will do better and I will gladly step aside. As long as you do well, I wont see any need to step back in.
I really just want to start my day with a nice Starbucks latte and code for 12 hours and do some debugging. This is my zen mode. However, cryptoland is in trouble. The govts have successfully tarnished BTC, added immense volatility to its price and made it a fringe thing.
Now who here doesnt think that crypto in general will be much bigger in the future than it is today?
Is the impact of crypto going to be larger than Yum Brands? (#500 on Fortune 500 list, 5x BTC marketcap)
Love that Taco Bell
So if you believe crypto will be worth the same as TacoBell/KFC, then BTC $2500 is a price parity
Maybe crypto is worth more than a fast food chain conglomerate? No offense to Yum Brands!, but we are talking about the next form of money. In my book, quite significant.
What happened? My theory is some active attempts to increase the volatility, or at least encouragement for market participants to do so. Burn enough with massive volatility and the masses will avoid it. Coordinated arrests, hearings, bad news to change the markets mood. Basically the same thing was done to BTC as what happened to BBR. For no apparent reason the price just kept going down and it starts to death spiral, when the volumes (interest) goes away the end is near. But wait! There is nothing wrong with it, in fact it is quite good. So it is really just a form of propaganda enforced by financial losses.
How was it done. The Trampoline Maneuver. This is where you push the price in the opposite direction that you want it to go. I have described this on the BTCD thread as we had a trampoline jumping monkey for a while. The rise to $1200 for BTC was really quite rapid and too fast. It was no sustainable. So now at $500 we are looking at a lot of people hodling with a loss or have already bailed out and still under 50% from ATH.
What if there was no monkey on the trampoline to push the price up?
What if instead there was normal steady price growth with much less volatility to get to $500?
I think with everybody in profits, steady gains combining to giant ROI, the mood in crypto would be that of many happy. Instead things have become some sort of vicious angry envy filled zerosum dog eat dog not happy place.
We can all change this, and while it took the anti-crypto forces quite a while to coordinate this monkey on a trampoline thing against BTC, the crypto world can be much quicker to heal the damage. Just look at BBR.

P.S. If anybody wants to be the centralized single point of failure decision maker on allocation of SuperNET funds, just post here and if the community wants you more than me, I am glad to step aside.
P.P.S. I think it would make sense to setup up some sort of trusted escrow for each 1000 BTC raised. I am not so familiar with proper BTC escrow places, so maybe someone from the community can head up the selection of the escrow places. Like posted before the SuperNET funds are for long term HODL and so cold storage is what is needed most of the time. When there is a new coin added, then a swap for the new coin. Some details needed as most BTC escrow places probably cant handle some new altcoin. Hopefully these are details that the escrow team can solve
P.P.S. This whole identity thing... If you are not comfortable with my abilities, integrity and past performance it is quite simple:
dont invest I am pretty sure SuperNET will get more than enough BTC for the construction of the giant fiat sucking machine as it is. Also, what if I am an AI? I think a lot of humans would be uncomfortable with that. Regardless of what my identity is, there will be many that will use it against me. What if I am Jewish? What if I am black? What if I am handicapped in a wheelchair and have to use a voice synthesizer? What if I am ugly? What if I am pretty? What if I am a girl? What if I am young? What if I am old? What if I am ... You see, any actual identity and some faction will dislike or downright hate it. Best for no identity, in any case, soon it wont matter. Once crypto is united and all the required functions are staffed by competent peoples, I can go back to my zen routine. That is my goal, to become obsolete as soon as possible. Please help!
