to the entire thread, I've complained about this many times. My favorite of course is the "GET YOUR BITSHARE X WALLET HERE" thread posted on February 28th and still lacking the actual headline subject. I don't think its sticky'd any longer thoughI think you'll find critique is not welcome from the community here, and providing any will make you the enemy.
So enjoy that.
This is why I don't understand you Adam. You know I welcome critique and debate and yet you post things like this.
Bytemaster != the community. I know you do, Dan. But your father doesn't.
If DPOS fails we can always use POW with miner rewards paid from dividends as was the very initial plan back when BTS X was just "bitshares"

Are sure you invested in AGS/PTS? It's almost as if you want to see this fail and would take great pleasure in it.

Very cool! Good job. Thoughts:

3) Not honoring AGS
#3 - please consider AGS! It makes the difference between begrudging and enthusiastic support from the bitshares community. I think the community support may be worth taking 1/4th of the planned dev premine.
It is funny how smart people like Nicokai ( **toast**) can easily be lead into wrong thought process and believes.
Here is the simple truth:
Invictus came and said –“The social consensus is AGS should be honored at least 10%”
-First it is not a social consensus it is just private party saying something (i.e. there is no consensus)
-Second it is pretty contradictory/illogical statement – donate X amount to us/me, and expect somebody else to give you shares for this gesture.
-Third, I3 took the AGS money and said they will use it to develop the DAC industry, instead later on they said – “Now that we have the money, we will keep them AS A BACK UP for our salaries for 12 mo.” Even that in those 12 mo. the donor/investors expect(ed) a lot of DACs coming and producing money for those developers salaries…
-Forth, The only logical reason left to honor AGS holders is for marketing purposes. But this audience is already reached by honoring PTS. There is a very small % of people donating to AGS only through BTC. More than 90% of AGS donors do it through some combination of BTC and PTS (The only notable exception I am aware of is Agent86 who does not have PTS account..., but then again I do not think Agent86 is a real person but rather a second internet/forum handle for a real person)
It's the ecosystem that develops when you have the core of the project in an indefensible position (Bitshares has not performed to development spec or internal expectations), after the dissenters realized their voices were not being heard, left.
What's left is a defensive guard that's stuck whether for ideological (don't understand the mechanics but like the words used to describe them and the idea it'll make them rich) or mechanical (All-in AGS investors who have 100% tied their investments financial future to whether Invictus delivers something worthwhile... or not)
I'm hoping when Invictus delivers there will be a rush of rational investors, but again that requires them to deliver.
Your whole problem is your assumption in motivations. My motivations do not align 100% with that of Bitshares. There are other motivations going on here that are not readily quantified. You, ABL, being the pompous person you are, assume you know what motivates everyone. You simply don't. You do not know what motivates me. You seem to think your invitation should have everyone jump all over it.
So what you do is blame it all on Bitshares, because you don't want to confront the fact that I personally don't particularly like you or want to get involved in a media project under your umbrella organization. I probably should have worded it different originally, but I troll the trolls and you took the bait. My apologize for starting out the negativity and sending it down this path. W
I have not put enough into Bitshares to spend that much of my life in it. Yet you've been making this claim that all my decisions are about Bitshares, and because of that, I am irrational to not wish to work with LTB. WHatever you want to tell yourself buddy..
These posts alone show why I wouldn't want to work with you. I basically think to highly of myself.QuoteIt's insulting that you haven't taken this away from my body of work, or the people I choose to share the platform with. It's insulting you need me to explain this to you.
Oh yea, rule #88 in life. Always know the history of Adam B Levine. Sorry Adam, we missed that one. No, you're not exceptionally pompous. Why would i ever question wanting to work on an LTB branded project?
Good grief. I'll stop it here.
I was interested, but I can't say I have much interest in working with stuff on LTB network. I was more interested in seeing a 100% independent media source that was not beholden to projects who put ads on the show.
You may not like my perspective on this project but I'd challenge you to support this statement.
lol. Did you really say i'm a "businessman"? You guys are hilarious.How do u put food on the table adam?..my point is that people have to make a living.
Whatever you need to say to make yourselves feel better!
Id love to have a better understanding but it seems I was left out of discussions so perhaps I am incorrect on my assessment. If so please tell me why.
I built things in this way exactly because I'm not a businessman but instead am an evangelist for decentralization who has built a platform to empower everybody, and am proving the model so others can follow in our wake. I think you'll find critique is not welcome from the community here, and providing any will make you the enemy.
So enjoy that.
Polite/technical critiques are highly valued.
Crude/ad-hominum critiques, not so much.
