What about your background? (especially technical expertise) - as I see your university degree is not about IT. Self-taught? Where can I see the results and experience?
That`s a normal question because you hired people earlier in your previous projects and asked for proof of qualification, but I could not find where the evidence of your qualification is provided.
At least - github profile, moreover: successful projects.
There are two common ways to demonstrate founder's qualification:
1. Demonstration of strong technical skills, especially in mathematics (and this way can be anonymous, given everyone's favorite example: Satoshi.) But your scientific solutions should be at a brilliant level.
2. Full disclosure of your personality and achievements, and example again: Colin LeMahieu which combines the first paragraph with great background (such as LLVM Software Tools Engineer at Qualcomm).
As I can see you are not anonymous for personal reasons because of your photo, phone number, linkedin profile and so on.
But I can`t see neither your code nor your professional background.
I looked at your posts: most about ICO, financial perspectives, skams and like that. I did not find branches with serious technical analysis. And even in this thread the main issue is the distribution of coins, but not the solution of the technical problem for which the project is created (Yes, I've read that you will publish information about it later). In addition to the problem of unfair distribution through existing airdrops, I did not see the main milestones. Moreover, we all understand that with the listing on the exchanges: there will be no equality of holders, so it is a large effort to create the illusion of equality (or equal start) for a short time.
No matter who we list from successful platform founders: utopianfuture and clemahieu or even V. Buterin and Satoshi - they are all technical geniuses that it was clear in their work and vector work (you can see first posts on bitcointalk from NEM and Raiblocks founders - all were about maths and IT solutions). Are you strong enough in these directions?
Frankly speaking, I was surprised by the amount of profanity and in-depth analysis of fraudulent schemes by various strange projects on bitcointalk in your posts.
Also weird moment with the search for Nevra`s developer. Usually people know at least a few developers when working in this field, especially considering that Java is not such a rare programming language. In addition, you have already had past projects, but there is not a single suitable contact. You decide to look for an unfamiliar person but you do not inform in an open form that you can do by yourself.
Almost all serious projects write new code and do not use leftovers from the fork in the end. Can you do it as well?
In addition, a large team of qualified specialists is already working on NEM, for example. Taking into account the financial success of the project for this day.
You plan to improve the existing code during the year by finding a couple of developers on the forum (with a basic level of qualification, according to the requirements that I saw.)
On my view success is possible only if you are extremely gifted specialist.
There are several development trends for this year:
1. Anonymity (yes even more than now), but you said that the existing level in NEM is ok and nothing needs to be changed, so in this direction specialized currencies such as XSPES will be ahead.
2. Solving the problem with transactions and fees (preferably zero fees) and it is not important DAG or not.
3. Unification and harmonization of the various blockchains.
All these questions require infinitely talented developers.
P.S. It was all written because I saw in you something different from the crowd. If initially it seemed the obvious failure, I would not waste time on this post, and would write just well done, I'm in, all the success and so a couple of sentences to get to the list.
Please give truthful answers as possible. I think this will help many people who have questions about the part I mentioned. Thanks in advance.
Thanks for your thoughtful questions and would be happy to answer them.
1) In regards to my technical experience, it's minimal, hence why i'm actively recruiting a Java developer. My technical experience with blockchains goes as far as understanding code and compiling and running the code, and verifying if everything is properly done. As far as writing/coding blockchains, that's not where my expertise lye's. I've always been a leader and investor. I have a well-rounded background in EE, a bachelors, so my experience with understanding concepts is pretty intensive.
I'm not looking into bringing in any contacts i've known prior, because most are busy with other projects or have left crypto entirely. Bringing in certain developers also creates drama for their past experiences, and i want to mitagate that, because then Nevra woulden't be about Nevra fully, it'd be about that person's background on that last coin. It both has drawbacks and benefits ofc. Nevra is a coin for the community by the community, i'm just supplying the materials to build the car, the car needs to be assembled.
2) As far as your heavier technical qualifications goes, it doesn't pertain to Nevra. We aren't re-writing the wheel here, and we aren't seeking any type of funds for even doing this distribution. You've mistaken Nevra for the other 1000s of shitcoins that are out there today. The goal of Nevra's testnet will be towards adding features and optimizing the blockchain minimal, so that it appears and acts in a different manner than NEM.
In regards to NEM, Utopianfuture and etc, they didn't re-create the wheel either. NEM is a fork off of NXT, while they claim to re-written all the code, i suspect it was due to the lack of fully running a NXT fork, due to code not being fully available. Thus, they just re-wrote NXT's code structure and created a different version. There are technical modifications to the blockchain, but at the heart of NEM, it's ultimately is a NXT 2.0.
Utopianfuture was not a technical guy, he was just the guy who came up with the idea of NEM, i don't believe he had any technicial background. By the time NEM was released, Utopian was long gone from NEM, due to the controversy of claiming double stakes.
I could get into details in regards to other developers, but just know they raised Millions in funds (directly or indirectly) to recruit top talent, but we are discussing the top 20 coins here. At a later time, Nevra will be in the same position, but it will take some time, a lot of effort and a bit of luck.
3) In regards to development, again we aren't going to re-create the wheel here. You misunderstand the purpose of Nevra, and what we are trying to achieve here. The entire goal and purpose of this project was born out of passion and disgust for what has been occurring on BTT. Many "devs" and scammers seek millions of USD in funding for a basic ERC20 token, or an infrastructure that was forked off of other coins, and ultimately re-branded.
The goal with Nevra is to basically due away with all the bullshit and return to the roots of crypto. The reason we are going to fork off of NEM instead of creating a brand new ERC20 token, or merely forking a POS coin, is because it will greatly enhance the appeal of this coin, and to show that with a bit of effort you can create something special. It will not take a lot of effort to add a few features, to make Nevra an original coin on the markets. We aren't trying to compete for the top TPS, or best anonymity, we are trying to really upset all airdrops and airdropped coin distributions, showing how it can be done, and how it supposed to be done. As this project gains more traction, there will be a broader interest to really pull in talent.
Lastly, NEM was founded by the community, you underestimate the amount of talent that lurks on BTT. You also said the egalitarian principal is invalid once the coin hits on an exchange, well getting listing on an exchange is not the ultimate goal. I would believe saying egalitarianism on an exchange is almost trivial, because principals and foundations are not started on an exchange, the start with the team and community behind the coin.
If there is anything i unanswered, let me know. Hope this helps a bit
Just gived you 2 Merit points, this is the ideal dev, i am also reading all your replies and getting surprised, I think, if i would get a stake of Nevra, I would never sell my coins, i must state that if you gather a team, find a good developper, Moon will not be a hard goal to achieve!
When i see your efforts, your answers, your great support to the project, i must state that you are Satoshi 2.0
Let's see what will happen in the upcoming days, i'm sure there will be a great success followed by a lot of hard work and a little bit of luck as you have said in your reply.
