RE: Self-voting user list since HF19 - PART 3 (potential comment abuse)
'sif they will accept any PR I were to put up anyway. Pretty sure I'll get that neat little error for any attempt to contribute.
As for forking, from a technical perspective, steemd is a nightmare. If you've ever actually tried to work with it, you would know what I mean.
I am indeed working on something, I have progressed a fair way in describing the specification:

...and development roadmap that leverages competition for rewards as its incentive model for developers:

I am just catching up on my sleep still, after having to abruptly spend 3 days travelling through Serbia, and getting my miners back up and running (and having the beasts in my little apartment is not very helpful for my sleep either, here I am at 1am, blathering away, I must return to bed asap)...
The problem is how you approach people, they don't have to contribute with you if they don't like you.
You can still fork it.
Your work looks very promising, I will be following you, I'm sorry you've had problems with the developers, but I've always been for competition, nothing makes people switch into high gear like someone beating them at their own game.
Yeah, I am not concerned about how I approach people, or who is repelled by my often abrupt manner. The work will not fail on account of my character, and enough people consider my character to be an asset in a world full of snakes and sharks. I'm not afraid of upsetting them and I've been for sure a significant part of how it came to be that calamus here is making these analyses of voting behaviour, and personz project smackdown . I named #project-smackdown, and the #steem-coop. You may have known that, I am not sure. I'm not saying I can take credit for it, because it's not my work, but I definitley was a loud voice inspiring thtose who did do the work.
As far as I'm concerned, the sole reason for resistance from Stinc is the fact that they all have something to hide. They are fools to not give what I say due regard because sooner or later they are going to be facing charges of racketeering and securities fraud. I will not be.
Well that's a problem that you don't seem interested in approaching, or are simply proud of, but not everyone is a Vulcan like me and you. You have no way to know if it was your character or not that ultimately led to the failure of steem, should that happen, not that I would hold you partially responsible even but you simply cannot know how people are affected and how crucial you could have been.
Being vociferous is commendable, but not placing importance on the manner you approach people is an issue I think.
That's not a fact, that's the thing, that's what you think they are resisting because. I think one solution would be to mediate through an arbiter, if what you say is true then I can see why you'd say that it's not because of your character that they will fail, but I don't think you have the facts that make it true.
What exactly has been disregarded by SteemInc that would make them face racketeering and securities fraud charges??
I'm not a vulkan, I just don't tolerate hero worship, at all. Especially from anyone who wants to say I am some kind of hero also.
As for the fate of steem, I don't think I am at all wrong in saying they gotta pull their fingers out or there's gonna be big problems. The database issue is not going to go away, it has to be dealt with. Same as the game mechanics, because it's going to drive people away.
I'm sorry, but I'm simply not a people person. I don't do sweet words or the certainty of the uneducated and uninformed. If I am a leader, it is of a herd of cats, not a herd of sheep. Irony is intended.
You are right, maybe Stinc is just stupid. But stupidity is always a great cloak for malice. Either way, they gotta pull their fingers out.
You haven't obviously thought about the implications of designing an elaborate game that eventually adds up to Ponzi. There is many intricate ways of dodging this label, legally, like, Amway, for example.
It may well be that it doesn't fully qualify as a scam, but it sure looks like one, and that's gonna be enough for the suspicious and wary people like myself who have a personal vendetta against all scammers.
As for being more diplomatic or dumbing it down. I'll leave that to the dumber down below. I'm not going to use my wits to deceive people and if they don't understand and hate me for speaking a language they can't understand, they should go live in a foreign country for a while and see how much it is upon them to learn rather than criticise those who speak in a foreign language. If the expressions are properly formed, then any criticism shows ignorance and prejudice on the part of the critic bitching they are feeling stupid for not understanding.
That's not my problem, and I'm not wearing that bullshit anymore in my life. If you get what I'm saying, good, but I didn't ask you to follow me, in fact, if you didn't notice, I tried to dare you to prove me wrong.
Let's conclude that all of the steeminc, everyone of the whales, sells out, and the price of steem drops to essentially zero to one satoshi, you would call that a ponzi scheme?
Correctly, it can either be a scam or it is either not a scam. It can become a scam or it doesn't become a scam. There isn't any in between, a scam exists or a scam doesn't exist.
Just doesn't fully qualify as a scam..
But unfounded suspicion and paranoia aren't that different.
It's not deceiving, it's being diplomatic, but more or less simply extending your respect and understanding to others, after all I am sure you both have the same goals in mind for the project and share similar values, and calling them dumb or inferior through your wits isn't a shared respect.
