I am not going to be too much of a dick but you ket " 0.12561161 btc " for personal use? that's close to a $1000. With that money you can solidify your forum for the next 10 years and earn a thousand times more.
Also, the moment you implement a signature space, I will join your forum as well.
I have some dev skills, I'll be willing to lend a hand if you need it. But be warned, I criticize too much.
In that case that donation seems like a complete waste imo. You just put a little into the project and took the rest and poof? I guess at least you had the courtesy to let us know.. and since it was a donation from theymos idont think there's much to be said here.
If you are not going to devote time to this project then lock the thread. Unlock it again when you are available in the 'weeks to come.'
Wow, seriously dude?
Why are you so bitter in life?
Lulu is only 21, he discovered BTC a few months ago, he is not an early adopter, he probably has less than $1000 equivalent crypto.
He is probably/ maybe using the computer his parent bought him a few years ago.
he is doing this in his spare time after school / instead of going out with friends.
He has done a tremendous job implementing the very first public forum using new technology.
He has done it using his time, money and sweat. Whitout even the promise of a reward.
I don't know where you live, I don't know how much time lulu has spent yet on the forum (50h ? 100h ?) and on the Github.
But if he had spent 50h on it, then a $1000 reward is not that much. It is barely $20/h someone working as a checkout in a supermarket would have made the same amount of money.
As a matter of fact, for $1000 I would only expect a tech/dev/Web specialist to work for just 10h on a problem/website, especially if the things he is doing haven't been done before.
So stop being jealous. Just recognize that Lulu participation in helping the Epochtalk technology is worthwhile and if you feel you can do something better, faster do it and maybe Theymos will send you $ 2000. Who knows?
Theymos understood this and give me a reward enough to give him the incentive to carry on the development.
And it is probable that Lulu has actually saved the forum dozen if not hundreds of thousands of dollars in beta testing.
(how much do you think the people working on epochtalk are charging / h / week)
This was just my 2 cents
