@james-show have you heard this quote before?

You catch more flies with honey than you do with vinegar

Here's what you just said:

are so full of themselves

James, that's vinegar. If you feel you have really important insights to improve the platform, have you opened any pull requests? This whole thing is open source and your ideas can stand on their own technical merit. Don't be surprised, however, to find your own view of the self-importance given to your ideas may be invalid. Often the faults we see in others are the faults we are struggling with ourselves the most. Of the one post I read of yours and the comments here, it seems to me you are over-confident in your opinions while at the same time under-valuing the many, many years of experience Dan and the team have in very advanced cryptocurrency technology development along with game theory dynamics. If your ideas really are better than theirs, you should be promoting your pull requests on Github and the let the community decide if your changes are worthy of your own high opinions.
