This is true. CIYAM collected money to implement AT on NXT and then implemented it on Qora instead. That isn't honest or fair behavior. Besides that, he defends the Chinese communists.
That's why I said nobody is perfect. Nobody makes the right decisions all the times. CIYAM perhaps made bad decisions, but since he has been trying to act with moral and integrity and - unlike the NXT, IOTA, Supernet, LISK, Waves scammers who lure money out from the idiots - he does contribute to crypto. Cryptocurrency is a funny place. Historically, it was very easy to be on the wrong side or make bad decisions. For example, I wholeheartedly supported projects in 2013-2014, at the born of altcoins, which projects seemed honest and innovative initiatives. Since we understand that some of those projects are absolute bollocks and with full of fraudsters and criminals (VRC, Ethereum, etc). We learn from our own mistakes and try to do the right thing by continuing to support the socially important idea of decentralized currency. By now, in June 2016 we have a better understanding who is who and who does what in crypto. It is clear what is scam and what is an honest project. IMHO CIYAM is not in the group of scammers.
I know you think CfB was BCNext, but I don't believe it. For one, BCNext was vehemently opposed to the Larimers' Bitshares scam and wrote numerous posts exposing it for the scam that it is. CfB on the other hand defended them and wanted cooperation between the NXT and Bitshares communities. Imo, there can be no cooperation with liars, cheaters, and thieves or those opposed to the original ideological movement. BCNext isn't "supporting the WAVES scam". BCNext hasn't posted since 2013. If you read the original NXT thread started by BCNext, it gives the impression to me that BCNext was located in the United States, but this is just my supposition. CfB seems like an "ok" guy except for the fact that I think he backstabbed those opposing the Larimers' scam, the original hardline NXTers, and his association with David Sonstebo. If CfB thinks he can produce ternary processors, sell them at a profit, and create a cryptocurrency network on top of it that is one thing, but having David as the CEO trying to convince the naive that IOTA will take over the world and be able to compete with the likes of Intel and IBM is another. David is extremely abrasive and an international communist. These aren't good traits for a businessman to possess. I'm all for small business, but IOTA doesn't stand a chance competing with these major hardware / software companies. David is running IOTA into the ground anyway, and I'm sure nothing good will come out of it. I think it was a big mistake on CfBs part to leave NXT to chase after this IOTA pipedream.
I think you have completely misunderstood me. I said CfB
and BCNext. It implies, I think CfB and BCNext are different individuals. This autistic CfB troll with his mediocre development skills has nothing to do with BCNext, except he was a useful footsoldier at some point (it doesn't mean BCNext was a better developer, he is very average as well). I am 99% sure who BCNext is. With 99% certainty I know his name, his whereabouts - it is not US, France nor Russia (though he is ethnicity is Russian). He is still active and organizing one scams after another, even if he had put on hold his BCNext account a long time ago. Regardless his initial intentions - which was most likely honest - by now he is a law enforcement material, nothing more or less than a fraudster.
I agree with the rest about David and the IOTA scam. I said many times as well what you have pointed out quite correctly about why IOTA won't be able to compete with IBM, Intel, etc.
