I can publicly say that Friction is neither communicating with You in this forum nor with the members of IXC Foundation.
His right to be part of IXc Foundation has been already questioned by single members of the Board.
The Board of Directors will take in consideration his case at the next meeting.
We are sorry for the inconvenience.
We need to move forward, we hope he will clarify his position soon for your and his benefit, since he received money in advance (15k IXC from members of this community, if I remember well) to accomplish a job (counterparty) and offered himself to update the source code for other 50k IXC (offered by Nasakioto, but only at the end of the job).
Thanks for your patience
I've been on vacation.
Yes, 15k IXC has been donated for the Counterparty port and 50K IXC was pledged for the 0.9.2 port. The Counterparty port is partially dependent on the 0.9.2 port.
Development takes time, the IXC donations/pledges are all nice, however they aren't sufficient to pay my daily bills. So like everyone else, I have a day job which of course takes precendence over other development commitments.
IXC does have long term promise, however you have to temper your expectations with regards to technical updates. Remember, IXC survived 3 years without *any* update.
Friction, I think we have been very patient and our expectations cannot possibly go any lower.
Your communication has been gravely lacking and your reliability has been nearly as bad as Thomas' which is nearly non-existent.
And this has not gone on for the last 2 weeks but for many months.
When the foundation board seat was offered to you it was made clear that certain duties and timely responsibilities would be expected and required of you, as well as everyone else.
You have been the only one which, for nearly 2 months now, has failed to as much as answer emails, let alone pitch in any kind of time, skill or effort without being paid ahead of time.
I'm not sure you understand what an open source dev is. Nor do I think iXcoin is a real priority for you in any way. I think ixCoin is just a quick way to make some cash on the side while you focus on your personal projects.
We all have other important things to do yet we all find the time to put in some effort - you are the only one who has failed to do this again and again.
We also paid you very handsomely for the last update afterwhich time you were double paid for the same job by Thomas which has proven beyond a doubt to be incompetent and lacking on every level.
At that time your pay for that mostly i0Coin copy and paste job, which took 5 months to complete, was over $5,000. That, for an open source dev is obscene yet I did not demand the community coins back, I let you keep the double pay thinking you'd be grateful and put in more effort in the next update but of course that never happened.
Due to your consistent display of selfishness, undependable nature and failure to uphold your most basic duties as an iXcoin Foundation board member I hereby put up for vote your removal from the board.
I am doing this publicly because I also want to get the opinions of the people here who have also been let down.
Cause let's face it, you have acted like nothing more than a hired hand this entire time. And hired help we can overpay at any time and at the very least hold them responsible for missed deadlines.
Thank you for the work you have completed so far on iXcoin.
Good luck to you and your [obviously] more urgent personal projects.
Regards...
Vlad
