Jesus Christ I HATE wading through this thread.....
This world that has somehow sprung to life, where demands to 'open source' the product of a single persons life, do this, do that, change it this way etc......it challenges my own sense of self in a way that instantly stimulates the profanity center in my brain and brings on the insta-rage. I would love to see Evan pull a Steve Jobs on all your asses (in his early years), and walk outside his garage and tell every single one of you crying bitches to go fuck yourselves and then make it known that if you don't leave, the shotgun in his hand will start explaining things in a way that makes it self evident. Stop crying for changes to something for which you HAVE NEVER HAD ANY INTELLECTUAL, OR ACTUAL FOR THAT MATTER, CONTRIBUTION. You CHOSE to put your foot in the stirup and swing the other leg up over the saddle and mount the horse. Get the fuck off if you don't like the horse.
For those that have a tendency to misread posts, I'm not suggesting Evan is the next Steve Jobs.
Your having bought some 'coins' does NOT grant you the right to demand changes through a consistent dose of blabber and whining. Buyer fucking beware. The first amendment (for those that live in the U.S.) may give you that right and the existence of this forum makes it possible, but why remain so unhappy and discontent in the process of it's excercise? What's the point? You can't claim it actually makes you feel better. A proper understanding of psychology will tell you that you WON'T feel better!
The potentiality of Evan making the coin open source, or doing anything else that's been screamed about, IS NOT YET AN ACTUALITY BECAUSE THE SOLE CREATOR (EVAN) HAS NOT DECIDED TO 'MAKE IT SO'. All your whining and screaming will not change the relationship between the potentiality and the actuality.
NO ONE HERE has the the right to make claims upon the work Evan has done. NO ONE!...and by extension you don't have the 'right' to make demands of future decisions he will or will not make. He is not resonsible for any of you. Grant him the already possessed (and seemingly unrecognized) right to serve his own self interest...and if you think your self interest does not align....GET THE FUCK OUT. Make the proper claim on yourself and recognize that you alone chose to buy some 'coin'. Own the outcome in a singlular way.
He could just as easily say 'fuck it' and close the project and walk away leaving your asses looking like a wet cat that's just been pulled out of a muddy swimming pool and NOT SINGLE ONE OF YOU COULD DO SHIT ABOUT IT. If I was Evan I would seriously consider it, just to seriously fuck all you whiners. A mans creation is soley his and as a result is HIS to do with as he pleases. Money is not the only currency and in Evan's case the creation of this coin is a kind of currency...and I would spend that currency to fuck the shit out some of you. Seeing you cry and die would be my payment.
FFS...either ride the horse and shut the fuckup...or dismount and find another horse. Excercise the one faculty that differentiates you from all other living things on this planet...CHOICE.
That was remarkably restrained...
Whinging Wallaby: ignored.
