I have never said "you have to ..." about anything. So this is a bit out of place. We are just having conversation right?
So to make myself clear:
1. Whatever you choose to do or not is up to you.
2. I myself have done work at times, say developed software, and donated it to public, at other times I have sold software that I developed (mostly with service). That makes me neither a good person or a bad one, nor a slave.
3. Let's assume you use firefox or linux or whatever GNU/BSD/MIT/etc. software you may use. Are the people that developed it your slaves? No they are not. They have, in their view and mine, donated their time and expertise to the betterment of mankind and that's it.
4. You may regard them as slaves, if we follow your analogy from above, to have done free work for you or just plain stupid to work for free, but trust me they are neither because they choose to do whatever they did.
5. You are a slave when you pay taxes, as this relationship you did not choose and is the one you will have difficulty getting out of. You owe whatever they tell you, not what you negotiated.
and finally 6. There is a particular reason why I got interested in X11 a week ago. Namely I act as an adviser to a third party that wan't to look into developing a X15 coin so I thought I'll look into X11 first as it seems more mature. So what would your recommendation be if you were in my shoes? Should they go with X15 or look for something else with a more leveled play-field?
Am I making sense to you?
p.s. If you and Wolf0 post your Darkcoin address I will donate to you just because I enjoy these conversations immensely...
Heh, leveled playing-field. Believe me, there is no such algo.
would rather go to some variation of m7 (but there they are too many thing in parallel)
actually lyra2 is interesting because you can mix various hash together... (but you might end up running at 5kH/s rather easily though... )
that could make them less interesting to port on asic or fpga
