You'll find nearly no programmers of my talent and capabilities who are willing to work with no guarantees and only $2000 monthly...

Modesty is not the strongest of your qualities as I see, hehe.

Working for $2000 a month is not modest, when in fact I earned up to a $million per year in inflation adjusted dollars in the past Huh

And I earned all my big money (which is by now expended) from self-funded startups on my own long winded sacrifices, not from fat salaries and stock options pumped up by vulture capital. I actually walked away from an $80K annual salary and $1.2 million in stock options vested in 3 years back in 1995. Inflation adjust that.

$80,000 July 1995
$125,000 July 2015 (liar BLS stats)
$455,000 July 2015 (Shadowstats corrected stats)

If there are any programmers who are capable and willing to take coins, they are free to message me. I haven't been able to find any. And believe me, I have tried. Rather take the prior post as an expression of frustration, consternation, and stern realization.

People who focus on ego are time wasters. I hope that isn't you (I see the "hehe").

P.S. Something I just deleted from an earlier draft of my white paper on the consensus network because it is redundant now in the final version:

Quote from: myself

The distinguishing characteristic of the longest chain of proof-of-stake system is the closed entropy which is conceptually no more random than a preset seed in a random number generator; and not that the basis of the proof-of-stake is subjective[Poelstra2015] because proof-of-work is also based on subjective altruistic sacrifice[Buterin2015-2] as an undersupplied public good[Buterin2015-1].
