I just wanted to thank HagbardCeline once again, this is a really neat feature and allows people to do what they want with their commodity. And as it's been pointed out, not extremely restricted use as the Bitcoin developers have went with for testnet coins. Let people decide what they want to do with it.
Cool stuff, please don't get discouraged due to people's disagreements.
Go thank that's ok. And you can do whatever you like sure. I think is not the time this side chains shit of any type to be release right now. Blazr2 never ask the community. When we was have big discussion about MM and Side chains He don't show up to explain possibilities. We have conversations this side chains shit to happened somewhere in the distant future if you all guys remember that! But no he want to surprise us with no need to explain... Well you Blazr surprise some of us the bad way. who asked you to SC or test Net release wallets?. " I do not want drama and waves" - you say. Well you going to have it . I invest very big money here (not like you) and not feel comfortable some nubs to come here and tell me: "I can do what ewer I want with test net and proto even can trade this like new coin" Sorry but you can not. There must have some rules here. Not everybody here agree and you going to make me very angry about my investment here I promise you!
It's an open source project. Fork your own copy and change to your heart's content.
O Yea - Why You all pretend that is community project if the devs do not care what the community thinks first? And do Not give me direction for my heart please!
open source do not means in me head that devs can do whatever they want with the coin. But do specific job and the community award them. Community decide direction and targets. The Community own the coin not the dev right.
Blazr is an artist and I respect that ,but ones he release this art and customer buy it and put it in computer or on his wall like a painting he can not come in my home and change the painting face without permission. Or if he or any other DEV can do this for the future then I'm not going to invest even cent anymore and I am done with the store of wealth bullshit. Because open source and store of wealth means the DEV is on me and you service.
Tell me siameze what is open source project ? Maybe total freedom for DEVS hypothetically ..Because if somebody hypothetically can fuck with my money sorry this is not open source and store of wealth commodity!
First BW. And now Blazr2 to. Why this guys don't ask before do whatever they have in mind FIRST ? Just fucking ask first and explain. Respect the people here who invest money!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I wholly understand your frustration.
That said.
I have been in a few of these "community" votes with other coins. They never really do anything. Half the people who don't get their way sit by on the sidelines with the 'told you so's' cocked and loaded. I don't know if that is so much the answer. Being around to provide answers and such is more important than anything, which Hag did.
Look at all that drama that was unfolding in bitcoin with the foundation. No coin is safe from turmoil.
As Siameze stated, if you don't like it, in the world of crypto you can fork it and try to convince us all that your fork is the one worth being on, first you do the convincing, then you get the 51% consensus, then you get the power, then you get the women! I don't think anyone is willing to fork on this issue, so it is a moot point to even worry about.
Your understanding of open source is incorrect in the regards of crypto. The way the chains work is that, anyone please correct me if i am wrong, anyone can fork a coin, they need to convince the miners then their fork is the correct one. Which happens when you get a 'majority' vote on the chain. Which is why 51% attacks and small network hash was a risk. It is harder to perform in the future as the networks become more distributed. I still don't think the majority rules system is the best, it is easily manipulated, even if the scale seems so large. "too large to fail' still echoes within me. Just look at what democracy evolved into in the states, why try to recreate that splendor... beyond me.
Don't 'invest' money into crypto, any crypto. It is a GAMBLEIt is a neat technology but it is as stupid to say you invest in crypto as it is to say you invest in social media. It is just buying bullshit and trying to convince someone else that the bullshit you just bought is worth more to them than it is you because it will only ever be worth more in the future, because look at it!
In the end i don't think cryptos are worth anything. I see the whole thing self fulfilling prophecy of sorts. You convince a couple people and others want to seem as smart or not be left out, what ever their reasoning, group think. Before you know it...
There is still some quick money to be had. Ltc was pumped not too long ago.
Do you want to carry something next to your genitals every day that emits radiation? For what reason you ask? So that anyone can reach you at any time they damn well please, that is the reason! Why would people want that? So since i think cellphones are pretty stupid, yet the market would tell me i am stupid for thinking that, i figured i didn't know it all. With btc at a market cap of 4 billion, obviously even if i think crypto to be stupid, there is still money to be made.
How much? You gotta spend A LOT of time thinking about that and doing your voodoo to get you to where you wanna be! The absolute best way to look at this, pretend you already lost whatever you put into Uno. Come to terms with it, cry, scream, go through the 7 stages of grieving. Once you make it through that it is a little more fun i think.
