Hmm I am not sure OP is still around.
Thanks for the thoughtful post. You should checkout litecoin as its creators and maintainers have human souls. Learn more at www.litecoin.com
A better service to the community might be to put your skills towards identifying the developers who are genuine & talented.
Spotting scammers is probably easier than spotting talent, at least at the beginning

Yes, this would be moving more towards the direction of positive change.
Good point. There is so much confusion around here and scams galore no one knows who is committed and legit. Would be helpful if the community could identify and BACK 'honest to goodness' projects without worrying it will turn into a scam down the road. I guess this is wishful thinking.
just want to make it clear this guy/account who posted this topic is NOT me !
it is a long winded speel (what I am known for around here) LOL
I still only have 1 account and have never logged into another account name aside from this one. (not even 1 time !)

I'm not here for friends. I'm here to clean up the mess. Or at least attempt to. Obviously there are already trolls trying to claim I'm a scammer. To hide the fact that they are scoundrels, liars and thieves. You will refute facts based on source. You will refute facts based on cited references. You will lie, you will argue and you will debase anyone who does not go along with your lies and nonsense. So say what you will. Facts will prove who is full of it and who is not. Facts will prove who is the scumbag and who is not.
So argue, complain, cry to whomever you think will listen. I don't care. Hell, I recommend you go ask around about me. Or just go ahead and be the brainless dolts I know you to be and make it even easier for me to humiliate you in public. I won't hide. I don't run. And best of all, you don't know anyone good enough to take me on.
And to you who claim that my statement about devs who try to collect money upfront is harsh, it's a fact. Either you're one of the scum who steal from honest people, or you're just seriously misinformed about how programming works. Especially with FREE, OPEN SOURCE software that does not cost a dime to get or to use.

A donation based FLOSS development model combined with POW emission has the major advantage of minimising regulatory risk. My take is that the SEC and FinCEN will have field day with many a IPO/ICO coin where emission is used to fund development. Ripple Labs is just the first of many to come.
$5 says this bitch can't come up with a dime 
All this coming from a newbi account makes it feel somehow weak. Buyer be ware. Don't spend money you cannot afford to or can't live life without.

The best intentions are often over ran by ones emotions.
You're missing a donation address on your post. Just wasted my time reading this BS
Is there a TL;DR?

In short, you will be providing the community with information on scam devs, good stuff it can only help us all.
Im not a developer but it came across more like he was going to trash the competition. Proof would be needed or its pure mud slinging and it will get dirty.

When dealing with "developers", if they ask for money upfront, it's a scam. If you are a developer, then you already have the IDE and any software libraries needed. You have already worked on a similar project and are familiar with the rules and regulations, what clients expect and you know how to be professional. Any deviation from this is a red flag. Only liars, thieves, scammers and frauds want money up front for what they claim is the cost of starting the project. Or they "run out of code" as I heard tell once. How do you run out of code? Who in their right mind believed them when they said that? People make mistakes. Nothing wrong with making a mistake. Learning from said mistake is what matters more. Many people in the community cannot read code and do not know exactly what went into development. So it's easy for the fraud developer to say whatever they want. You really don't know if what they say is true or not. So you just take them at their word. And then they take your money and run.

That is a pretty hardcore viewpoint, and one that probably won't get you many friends round here.
Don't get me wrong, I'm in agreement with the general tone of your argument, but applying that rule leads to the conclusion that some very high-profile crypto projects are scams.........IPO/ICO structures have been very common in crypto over the last year.
Your going to out fake/scammer developers? I got a short attention span,sorry!
