What we ALL want is a system where new DAC developers are incubated to fulfill their potential. Invictus aims to be the first great incubator in this space. Their incubator model has been clarified somewhat in the last week, but it's still at inception, and discussions like this is great to further the development of the model.
I think honoring AGS/PTS now can be understood partly as a bet on Invictus becoming a great incubator. You'll be among the first born, and get immediate attention from all branches attempting to develop the incubator model further. This is still very early stage for everything, and the incubator has had little material to work with so far.
True, true. You are quite right.
One of the ideas i will be pushing is to broaden the terms to include entities like mine which dont work with the "A" part of DAC. I plan to work together not just with I3 but with other aspiring DACs or similar ideas. I hold a very strong understanding of the basic code used to distribute these units and have a small side (unpaid, unsponsored ) project that has been producing original works of code for this community, the most recent is NoirShares, a PoW/PoS momentum implementation. Using this knowledge i could help kickstart other DACs on the software side of things.
Rather than people demanding that we just Honour the Consensus, have they considered honouring back our ideas by taking an interest? Even to just poke around and try get a feel for what we are trying to achieve? Thus far the two-liner by fuznuts is the first real show of interest and possible support i have seen from the community.
I will not make demands of anyone, but if we work on our own and produce viable avenues, what is the reason that we should share it by honoring the Consensus, if the grunt work, sweat and tears is localized around those with an interest in NIG but no PTS or AGS holdings? bytemaster has an obligation to protect the investment of PTS holders who expended their resources to help build their platform and development. I also have an obligation to protect the (currently) few who have taken interest i what i am doing. They are expending their resources with faith that over time the ideas driving me and the efforts i am putting towards a profitable venture, the divorce of reliance on BTC will create tangible value equivalent or greater than their investment.
PTS holders are welcomed with open arms, but not just to collect and go dump the free coins they get, but to take an active interest in the growth, development and expansion of the many ideas , both in development and in cold storage.
without going into details, there are a few who are already asking that i open up the long term investment plans and explain the tier system, however first i would like to deal with the network issues.
Betting on I3 is a good gesture, but any sound business stands on it's own two feet and fights the tides. lol, if i had given up when i spent ~1 full week hashing a genesis block, none of my ideas would be moving forward.....yes i said week, you cannot imagine the number of facepalms that went around when we realized we had left out a ".".
