at least you put your name to this statement for posterity. IMO jl777 is the complete package, the first crypto dev with real world finance experience AND communication skills, plus his work ethic is phenomenal, and his ego is in balance with his skill-set, and that's what big money investors expect.

So ExtremeFacials.com, tell me, what contributions has James actually made to the the crypto world that have benefitted anybody except himself and his investors?

We're not interested in re-creating a tax-free Wall Street. We're interested in liberating the concept of money from Wall Street and all its burdensome regulations that hobble the average person from being able to afford to live a decent life.

We don't care if certain devs appeal to big-name investors or not. If they do, it could very well mean the death of the project, since the entire concept of cryptocurrency was necessitated as an escape from the evils of Wall Street and the financial sector/government complex.

We're not trying to go back there, even though the greediest of us are trying to drag the scene back into the stinking quagmire of modern-day finance, for motivations of pure greed (and out of sheer disregard for the credibility of the entire movement).

TL;DR: Fuck people who attempt to appeal to the 1%. They are ruining everything.

James main contribution, so far. Im sure others has help him tho in the process of releasing mgw in the current form.

Sebastien256 beat me to it. I followed NXT from the sidelines and thought like many that jl777 was probably better at communicating ideas than delivering results, then I used the multigateway for myself and realised he had knowledge & skills. Sure, his timelines have blown out, and he's deliberating communicating about projects and ideas that wont get developed for a while so people understand his plans for the future (unless he gets more developers onside which looks highly likely) and that leaves him open to the criticism that he's more talk than results, but once I used the MGW for myself and spent time to actually try and understand what jl777's vision for the future is, I realised his approach to crypto is fundamentally different to most other crypto developers.

He's more like a Steve Jobs type of guy, but back in the early 1980's. I bet if you'd been around in the early 80s you would have been critical of Steve Jobs too, and the google guys, and Zuckerberg, and ...

edit: if you follow the SuperNET slack you'd realise jl777 shares your passion and belief for how crypto can liberate money from wall street
