OROBTC, the NSA knows (or has records recorded which they may not have even analyzed yet) that I am some truther, anarchistic nutter who talks and talks and has never produced any code. As far as they are concerned, I might as well be another scammer illiciting funds for another pump & dump altscam which might even be perpetual vaporware. Please do not try to think you are smarter than me about the requirements of my own computer science projects. You are not. (not to mean I don't appreciate your support, but defending my logic in public only weakens it ... maybe you should presume I feign some things on purpose ...)

Btw, about 2 weeks ago I analyzed the Dependent Object Calculus proposal for Scala 3, and determined that I found the holy grail of computer programming language design having completely solved the Expression Problem challenge as stated by Philippe Wadler, the prominent computer science professor and principle creator of the Haskell programming language. I am way out there in terms of autodidact theoretical computer science researcher, as well as an autodidact researcher in the field of crypto-currencies. But it is better just like it was for CoolPage, that no one thinks I am worth more than a molehill and it catches the world by surprise. I have always favored doing things by myself and shocking markets. It was just in this case, I felt it would be more fun and also more reliable to have some collaboration and peer review, because a crypto-currency is not something you want to release with bugs and faults in it. Bitcoin had some significant bugs on launch, but it also had the luxury of being ignonymous due to being first.

However, on further reflection that was a poor allocation of my time and priorities for numerous reasons. The computer security requirements are just wacko for most people. They don't see the point and they won't until after 2017. Then they will be the deer in the headlights, but for now fuhgeddaboudit (they will not understand). Secondly, it is much more difficult to work secretly in a group than it is alone. Third, the Mythical Man Month effect (most time is consumed by communication, not working). Fourth, people think more highly of themselves than their actual performance and the only way to separate the wheat-from-the-chaff is in a competitive network-of-trust such as what Linus is describing for Git with Linux development, or by competition between projects (e.g. Monero vs. _______). Fifth, the younger generation are inundated with spoiled, bratty, egotistic Prima Madonna time wasters that do not know how to code (and they do not respect their elder programmers and do not want to learn from them, which indicative of the decadence of Western civilization at this juncture). They think for example Node.js is the shit and they don't understand why it isn't and they never learned to program in assembly code. Sixth, talented programmers and cryptographers are already busy on projects and they can be very choosy. The world is awash in debt money and socialism. People are fattened and capital is being widely misallocated. There is no need for urgency and the economy is not weeding out the needless from the needed. As Warren Buffet says, we won't know who was naked until the tide goes out.

Absolutely not, you will never find a filipino capable of doing this sort of work. Even the most talented ones intellectually (and I actually pursued such a candidate and offered him so much in terms of exciting challenges and compensation that far exceeded what he is earning) can not handle the serious way that we Westerners work. Discipline is a four-letter word for filipinos. Filipinos are great for social jobs and programming games and doing artwork for cartoons, and even graphic and production arts for commercials (they are fabulous emulators), but never expect a filipino to work long hours and sleep under his desk in isolation. As much as I love filipinos for their positive attributes, I've learned after about 2 decades to not beat my head against a brick wall. They can not do it. They don't look at work and entrepreneurialism the same way we do. For them it is just another disposable thing in their lives. Filipinos do not take any one thing that seriously, except for their parents (which they will give everything for).

Do not assume I will need money. I will need some and I am awaiting the final statement of my balance that the precious metals dealer holds and has delayed paying me for some 2 years (doling it out little by little), so perhaps I even have enough to self fund for another few more months. Otherwise, I already received a couple of $1000s in angel funding and there is another few $1000s there from that same individual. And then there is another person other than rpietila who does use Bitmessage who was offering 100 BTC (but I've delayed so much it wouldn't be surprising if he rescinded the offer).

The main issue is not funding. Rather the issue is implementing. I was expressing dismay over wasting time trying to finding a mathematician or programmer. It was statement about the state of things in our world today that an altcoin that could potentially overtake Bitcoin gets no interest from capable programmers.

In fact I was even in discussions with one the inventors of an important anonymity protocol and I tried to build synergy with him, but it was just like oil and water. I just couldn't appreciate his attitude and he couldn't appreciate mine. How can two people who can't appreciate each other, then work together? They can't. In his mind, he saved himself a lot of wasted time. In my mind he fucked up royally and will miss the opportunity of a lifetime. But he has the ego the size of a Mac truck and I guess I do too. I think I can do and he thinks he can do. So let him go his own way and me go my own way.

Really when it comes down to it, talk is cheap. Men here are competing and the strongest will win. That is the bottom line. Once the strongest man has kicked ass on the other men, then suddenly they all come around and want to work with him. This is the way of the world. Alphamen lead and beta males bitch and think they are the shit, then they take a salary because they need to eat and pay their rent.

Edit: my major difficulty is the M.S.. When I feel strong such as this morning, I could conquer the world as I have in the past for example creating CoolPage. I was expressing frustration about wasting precious effort on recruiting others, because the M.S. robs me of some of the excess energy and dopamine that I had before the M.S.. I have had very high dopamine levels most of my life. I could essentially sustain an elevated but tiger concentration for 12 hours, sleep a bit, and do it again. The M.S. interferes and instead I ride more of a rollercoaster and so often feeling like I am exhausted. I don't think it is age. It is the M.S.. Today I awoke very, very strong. I made my 25 year old gf orgasm twice then got on the computer. She just called me down to eat bacon and eggs. Note we get the bacon here that was cut from the pig but has no chemicals added to it. And I eat only the yellow of the egg (she eats the white even I don't want her to). So I see I lifted 0.8 of my body weight yesterday on the military press which Intermediate level strength, which is good considering my illness, age 50, and not working out much lately. Btw, I was nearly blind on the way to the gym yesterday. My eyes were tearing so much, everything was so blurry that I couldn't even make out people's faces when they were within 10 meters, and the sun was burning my eyes. This is some effect from the M.S. coupled with never seeing the daylight due to always being on the computer. After the gym workout my eyes felt much better.
