You'd think with such designs at-hand, that I would be ecstatic and optimistic. The reason I've been somewhat dismissive about my capabilities lately, is because I nearly wasted the entire past 6 weeks trying to locate a mathematician (with strong interest or knowledge in discrete math and especially applicability to Berstein's EdDSA) who would work with me to peer review my work and also a programmer to help me implement. I am a programmer, but it just seems impractical to try to implement something of such complexity all by oneself.

I had commitments for angel investment (i.e. a controlling group was taking form) in order to hire the help, but I couldn't find anyone who is qualified that is both interested and willing to follow a few basic computer security policies. Even some of the potential angel investors (e.g. rpietila) are unwilling to institute basic computer security policies with my assistance, so it as if no one really gives a fuck about what is happening to the world.

I had one junior-level programmer express interest to work with me and he had some experience coding a block chain explorer in the past, but he refused to learn any new programming language and only is available in Javascript. I eat programming languages for breakfast. One has to wonder how someone with such myopia could really grasp the math and wide range aptitude required. So I respectfully declined.

I am dismayed. My inventions are real and could potentially save the planet, yet no one is helping.

Perhaps those mathematicians are not reading these discussions and think the world is just fine and you're being paranoid. It's very very hard to start believing the disaster is coming. And even if it is coming, to believe it will affect one's own situation too much. The concept is so far away from their daily lives. Boiling frogs and normalcy bias.

We can comprehend only the things we see in our daily lives. If we need cash we go to an ATM, if we need food we go to a store or a restaurant. Every morning we drive to work and pick up the kids on the way back home. That's the way it's always been and always will. And in the evening we watch the news on the TV and if there's something worrisome we'll forget everything about it by the time we switch off the TV before going to bed because we have enough of our own worries already and the next morning we'll have to wake up to another day just like every other day before.

We will only wake up to what's happening when it's already happened.

Not many people truly believe things will radically worsen hence do not posses the motivation, and not many people have the required math (or programming) skills and mental capacity. And the group which you need to harvest from is the intersection of those two groups. Experts in Bitcointalk who might be capable of helping are already (mentally and financially) invested in bitcoin and their big egos are probably hurt from getting their golden egg laying goose criticized by you. They will only give in when you have already beaten them.

It's almost impossible for me to believe there is a war coming, because I don't want to believe it. Still, I fully believe things will worsen a lot, unemployment, everywhere reaching surveillance, higher and higher taxes, perhaps even interruptions to pensions and social welfare. Unless I'm already well off, me and my family are going to suffer. If you manage to pull off this scalable anonymous coin+internet with real-world use, the upside is so huge that anyone who will be there early will have a whole lot of easier time to survive the incoming misery. I just wish those capable of helping would see it as well.

As usual (with a possible, though off topic, exception that I'll leave out here) illodin is insightful and on the mark.

Most people don't believe (or at least don't believe particularly strongly) the Martin Armstrong predictions nor your extensions of them, and will never believe them (until they see it; likely too late). So if you want to recruit and motivate people, you need to construct a story and motivation they do believe. It doesn't matter that they may be motivated by different things than you are, as long as everyone is motivated. That's leadership, and bringing together people who are distinct individuals with different beliefs and values.

Oh I very much agree that "most people are morons".

My post wasn't directly to them. It was as Illodin astutely recognized, directed to those of you here who have the resources to help and who hopefully aren't morons (but probably are Undecided

). And not forsake the profit opportunity of a lifetime as well as Illodin also surprisingly pointed out.

But I am tired of trying to get other people to act. People are so blinded by their everyday satiation. So true. My post was more of a "there is this, but I really don't expect anyone to care because all of you are probably morons too" post.

Linux's Linus was correct Show me the code, talk is cheap.

Thanks.

P.S. Illodin war will come because that is how TPTB gain leverage. It won't necessarily come every where. It will depend on where that leverage is required. As for the chaos that is coming, it is already cast in stone because the vast majority of people will not change. Disbelievers are going to suffer due to lack of preparation. Some fatalistic religious cults will argue there is nothing you can do about it and you should be a martyr with open proclamation of your networth and nevermind attempting to find some methods on this earth for sovereignty. Perhaps the easiest or most immediately actionable "solution" is disappear and live a very simple life (living off the earth and generating little or no external trade income) in some remote place and nevermind the world. In one sense that is very efficient but from another perspective it is not.

P.S.S. Perhaps you can interpret my ranting as just lamenting how humans are incapable of organizing themselves. It always requires a leader to blaze the trail, then the weaklings follow. I was probing to see if there is anyone else like me out there? It is fun to do teamwork. It is very rare to find though, especially the more intelligent you are, the less likely to find a peer who also agrees with you. You could just punt into a compromise a la Monero. Not my style to punt.
