David, don't entertain this fool.
Not interested at all in anything you do... except when it can hurt people severely as it could through this scam.
You're missing the point. David was commissioned to write code based on previous work (I'm a fan of Pirates, by the way, and was an extra on Fast & Furious Tokyo((flame me for that; I also extra'ed on an unreleased film starring the crazy guy from Back To The Future)).
I can half ass associate shite all day long. I can also condescend. To wit,
Oh dear barabbas. Oh, dear barabbas. Does one have such a stake in another project that one needs to make an attempt to destroy the credibility of someone who does more work than you? How was it that you were able to invest in what was considered a small project when 99.999% of the world failed to? Does that make you special? Was it god? Regardless, why is it that you have such a high pedestal?
Where is that indigence coming from?
The fact is, smart contracts don't rely on DD escrow. They are smart contracts for a reason in that they can be negotiated between parties. Meaning there can be DD escrow or there can be .0001D escrow. Or vice versa.
But you knew that, right? You have experience with this sort of thing and aren't talking abstract out of your probably pristine arse, I would presume.
Let's assume for a second that you are right. For games.
Because games are fun.
What if BitBay is a scam?
My first question is, "How do you know?"
If you knew, you wouldn't be wasting your time with holier than thou bullshit that fails to include all information.
My second question is, "How do you know?"
Where is your evidence, save from anecdotal and unassociated experience, that there is a scam going on?
My third question is, regarding this quote from you,
"So I'll keep waiting, giving you the benefit of the doubt, and holding a significant dose of skepticism",
Who the flark are you to bust balls and then say, "Maybe you're cool,"?
I got a million questions for you. I also don't care. I think you are full of obfuscating shite.
You've already established per the above quotes that you are on the fence regarding your own accusations. Bitch and moan all you want. Give the man and the team the opportunity to do what they said. Reconvene in February. Or not.
