I was surprised to receive an invitation to be a dev, mainly because I don't have nice things to say about PoS (Notwithstanding that I have zero experience in software development, and limited knowledge in most programming languages.). PoW has it's problems but  it solves a large range of issues that the PoS community are usually oblivious of.

1.) DoS resistant
2.) Free Entry
3.) Trustless
4.) Temporal (Monodirectional)
5.) Irrevocable (resistant)

PoW discovered for the first time that we can arrange information along a path of unreproducable work, and in that manner make the information it secures irrevocable without requiring any trusted party. That technology, to this day, has found no replacement.

I disagree, however, with the idea that altcoins damage Bitcoin or the cryptocurrency space in general. Markets naturally cater to multiple feature sets when there is no apparent ideal, as is the case now. Having more experimentation and options is always good for any market that will bear it. The only way altcoins will stop is when a cryptocurrency is found that has no conceivable successor in any niche. So if that outcome is desirable, it's furthered by more innovation, not less of it. If history is any indication, then we know humans are extremely iterative and innovate best in plastic environments.

So I wish you the best of luck, even though I think you're misguided.  Tongue
I also wanted to make sure I'm not being misunderstood. When I'm pessimist and/or critical about Bitcoin, it's not because I support PoS.

There are also social issues with PoS, the biggest being the unfair advantage given to early members of the community.  I can't say for sure if these issues include this project, but It's clear the dessicion to start another block chain was one of the initial mistakes of this project, not having a large enough userbase to be self sufficient became the result.

This coin is already doomed, stop this nonescense already.

Dear cheako,

BTX is all BUT doomed. We have certainly one of the most (if not the most) motivated team in whole crypto.

We have a great ambition and are ready to work hard to achieve our goals.

Now please stay on topic. This is a hiring thread. If you are not interested, please simply move to other threads.

If you want to emit some concerns, simply PM me, as long as it has anything to do with the hiring thread.

The BTX project moves on, regardless of your comment. We are a team looking for solutions, not problems.

P.S.: Our user base is more than self-sufficient. Thank you for your concern. I would recommend you download our wallet before emitting uninformed opinions. Thank you.

I'm concerned about wallet validated purchases....  Burn to play.   DRM systems have traditionally been closed source, but in-wallet closed source is going to turn away much of the tech croud.  Without them your project will not only suffer from lack of good developersbut also a community who finds that the coin is broken/bad everytime they seek support.

Also note that application liscensing has long been a target for hacking, so the likely-hood of building a copy protection off interacting with another app will simply result in a clone of the other app.  As for in-wallet applications that are closed source.... are you stupid!  Torjan a maleware will quickly make this a no-go.
Take it easy. That part is just a small thought and is not even part of our official roadmap..
We are a very welcoming and supportive community and we have no intention to smear the image of crypto Smiley

I don't think making another alt coin should be taken so lightly.  Many have tried and they are all still considered a group of alternatives to something else.  A hand full of alternatives can be a good thing, but when just plain anyone starts another project simply because they can it might undermine the validity of the project they are alting.

Having a clear set of goals for improving bitcoin would be a positive thing, but you should only fork from the main project after making an effort incorporate your goals and having been rejected on more than a number of occasions.

We are still looking for devs. Please PM TheAltTrader if you're interested.

You should give more informations so people contact you and you don't get spammed because "Dev" have a big defition if you ask me and if you mean Programmer by it you should give the needed programming languages . I personally know C# .NET not sure how helpful it could be in your project

I agree. I program in Python (Python Flask developer). Let me know if I can be helpful to you. Smiley
You'll have to check with TheAltTrader Smiley
