The first tangible item has now been sold on the market. My Good Year tire pressure gauge has been mailed off to the lucky buyer which just happened to be dzimbeck (David). The escrow was released back to me exactly like it was supposed to. Hopefully this can be remembered as the "10,000 BTC Pizza" except this will the called the "5990 Bay tire pressure gauge"
Now I just need to make sure I figure in shipping and handling the next time I sell something. :-)
Thanks Team Bitay
By the way, the templates will handle all the shipping and bank and other info. Cheers. I will enjoy the "tire pressure gauge" maybe i will frame it.
Also to the community, thanks for the support.
funsponge, this has been discussed. And no other coins will be able to buy that license(at least not immediately). After all, wouldnt we want to prove the concept works first? We should prove that it can revive a coin from the depths of hell. Thats way more important than prostituting the tech. Currently, the only thing coins can get is a spot on the NT exchange. That doesnt mean they get markets and wont get pegging. (Ok i did say it depends on what they want but come on man, ive really got to not make the same mistake i made with trusting the guys who brought me into Bitbay)
Although the pegging will be something many coins will want, at some point it should open up to support other projects but maybe it should go to projects that deserve it. Like maybe gridcoin(does gridcoin really work?). One day, people will want it open source for obvious security reasons. That is a question of when. Should it only be the obfuscated source? What should the license be to change it, should my company disappear completely and free the tech to the world? Would it be too early and not reach consumers? Will the tech get poisoned with the stigma if its used by people with bad intentions? I'm not sure because ive yet to decide whats best.
I know my goal though. My goal is definitely to give consumers tools to eliminate deception.
The only licenses that get sold are to companies that want smart contracts. Not to coins especially not after what happened. Even recently just talking to a supporter about a rebrand after the fork for pegging(i wish i could fork the wallets of the bastards, i dont know their addresses).
Its not about money here, its about making good decisions. What decisions should i make? Currently i know the best decision is to exactly finish what i started and definitely do not take on new projects.
Finish what ive got on my plate before making any decisions to commit further. Plus these projects are massive in scope. Lots of coding. Even when its done, it could benefit from a full refactor for efficiency. Then again, i dont want to be coding 2 years from now.
- but if David will be selling Halo technology to other crypto-coins this doesn't benefit Bitbay as people wont need to buy Bitbay to use smart contracts. Is this correct?
