Can we get in contact with the guys from http://ciyam.org/ again?
@cass: IIRC, you have a contact
With workers and FBAs on the blockchain, we may be able to convince them to help us out
Last I believe I was close to convincing Ian Knowles to integrate AT into bitshares but he was on the fence about the project in the first place, although he is on the fence about just about everything... at that time ByteMaster never replied to my private message so I just assumed it was off the table for bitshares and I never really spoke to CIYAM since... I was integrating AT into bitcoin but that fell apart when me and Ian has philosophical differences than seemed to make him not want to work with me anymore so since then I tihnk they are working on their own platform which tries to enable developers from creating software through a manufacturing process (think templates) and blockchain is just a small part of it, although its ambitious im highly skeptical of its merits and usefulness anytime soon.
He made wild claims such as the BCNxt was non-existant and was actually ComeFromBeyond in disguise and that the whole NXT thing was built ontop of a scam, so he pulled out of it because initially he wsa to do ACCT on NXT(this i believe)... and that he would work with Vitalik but vitalik doesn't listen and does things the wrong way (this i don't believe), although when I asked vitalik he didn't even know who Ian was so go figure.
Essentially its a one-man team and a helper (vasilis does the grunt work based off of design) Vasilis is a good worker but Ian is the guy with the design although I kind of know it now too. Working in a team with Ian is asking for trouble as he wants to have things his way or no way.
Looking at this commit done 2 days ago
https://github.com/ciyam/ciyam/commit/9d7f7753c67858f79cc007c39e50a97376a8b861it seems possible to do ACCT through CLTV on the latest bitcoin core which integrated peter todd's OP
The guy is smart but not that smart, the real guy we should be going for is Tier Nolan who comes up with the idea of ACCT from which Ian used to build his c++ prototype. Tier also commented in the CLTV thread on bct and said it can be used to do ACCT through CLTV which Ian is trying to do now.
