Two clarifications to my prior two posts.
1. For Transfer, my opinion is that adding I2P or Tor creates a false sense of security if the activities you are hiding including anything that is of interest to authorities (tax, criminal, civil law, regulatory law, national security, etc).
2. For Digibyte, what I am trying to to convey he may do himself a disservice by judging everything according to old world norms:
- retail use
- visible offices
- visible devs
In my opinion, those attributes are antiquated and irrelevant now. And he will likely miss out on the huge gains in cryptoland due to his myopia. I feel strongly enough about this to stand my ground on my opinion. Again I respect his right to disagree.
Although he has a right to his emotional or historical attachment to the brick&mortar economy, I (as AnonyMint and other usernames) have for
the past 3 years been writing about the end of the industrial age and the fledgling Knowledge Age.
In the 1980s, I had such a small startup company with physical office,
Neocept Inc., 547 Constitution Ave Unit A, Camarillo, California, USA.. And we produced physical packaging for our software and shipped it via UPS every day. I had a warehouse in the back and offices in the front.
But that changed ever since the internet. I did CoolPage.com (a $million business from 1998 to 2006) all myself working from a Nipa Hut in the Philippines.
I think some people are stuck in a timewarp. It is like I am 20 years ahead of them.
Regarding Digibyte's Chinese programmers, I tried to hire a Chinese cryptographer from Hong Kong and he demanded too high of a price considering his very terse communications. I ended up instead with a PhD in Math from the USA for the same cost. He didn't understand the concept of working virtually and taking some coins as compensation as a motivation for good performance. The Chinese have not yet made the transition from the tangible economy. They are learning but are behind in some respects especially in entrepreneurial software development.
When I worked at Fractal Design Corp from 1993 & 1995 (on what is now Corel Painter...the software that shipped in a paint can), we did hire a Chinese programmer (grew up in the USA) and she was able to become productive quite rapidly (but not as rapidly as myself, when I fixed the printer driver code on my first day of employment). I was teaching her how to hunt down bugs in complex code, and she went on to become the most prolific bug fixer after I left. But I doubt very much she would have invented new technology or gone off on her own to do an entrepreneurial high risk creative endeavor.
exactly All red flags in the air!
I really think you should ask a random person on the street what he thinks about NXT and ease of acces. It is simply not user friendly.
