1.There is giant problem in this space.
2. It seems nobody has found a solution.
3. Storj is offering new product in the space, even he/they not claiming a decision for the fundamental problem.
What gains do you foresee in collaborating with just another player who does not know how to solve the problem?
I know you all want to play nice, but other than that what’s your point?
How do we find solutions to problems? Thinking and communicating ideas across a broad spectrum of issues...that is what the hangouts are for. Updates, questions and brainstorming sessions essentially.
You can daydream, say good words –collaboration, communications, hangouts, brainstorming. Those are empty words for me.
The truth is the problem is big and complex… and the solution will probably be found by single someone driving on the road by himself, or maybe sleeping in a tent in the middle of nowhere.
Let me give you an example:
If it is 1940 and you organize 100 hangouts/brainstorming sessions with random people, chances are you not gonna discover the computer. Even better if you organize 100 hangout with random physicians chances are you not gonna discover the computer. It took one single genius, who had put 1000 h thinking about that and related and unrelated problems to make the breakthrough. Driving by himself, with no particular aim or destination, in the middle of nowhere.
So much for collaboration, communication and brainstorming sessions.
Do not get me wrong – hangouts are great when the fundamental breakthrough is already there. Example:
When the idea of BTS X is already born, you can hang out and polish it. Hell, you can even find the best voting algo in one of those brainstorming sessions.
But in the field we are talking about the breakthrough is not there yet. Maidsafe have not found it, Storj ans Sia have not found it, even our in house genius have put finding the solution on backburner. So, you can brainstorm and dream how great the undiscovered ‘computer’ will be, but chances are you not gona discovery it… collaboratively brainstorming
