RE: Edited
What were you up to in 2008?
I totally see where your coming from about Dan.
Not going to disagree with your last points. Although I enjoy some aspects of this sale there are some things that worry me - mostly the first 5 days. Whatever. Will be interesting.
In '08 (and since about 98/99), I was actively participating in distributed computing projects. I burnt up several computers playing in that scene haha. From there, ideas of decentralization were born, and naturally, the idea of decentralized, distributed economies went hand-in-hand. Paid to be a nerd. I remember passing around massive amounts of BTC as if it were a toy, because at that point in time, it very much WAS a toy. It held no value. It was just an idea and we had no idea what the future had in store for it. It's one of the most disgusting memories I have haha, hindsight can be one huge son of a bitch sometimes.
The distribution plan is very much up in the air at the moment. They're being open to alternate methods as well as tweaks to the current plan. If you have ideas, go weigh them in in the chat! It's the "first draft," which I'm assuming means that there will be more iterations of the plan.
Oh I remember the toy days...
I am exited to see their openness, hope they address some of the criticism expressed in the telegram thus far.
I'm sure they will, they're literally asking for criticism, which is another reason I trust their judgement. They want technological progression, not cool points or faux-marketing to drive their blockchain.
