I'm bothered by the fact that he opens a thread for his project where he refuses to discuss certain questions in detail (even goes as far as threatening with deletion) because "wait for the whitepaper".
I don't see the point of the thread.
Mark this down for the history books.
I agree with traumschiff.
Seems like the only purpose is to hype vaporware.
I don't think it is really malicious but more driven by enthusiasm and being a bit impatient to wait until it's actually done (at least in part) before discussing it. The effect is similar though.
I started a thread where I could update the public on progress of the development, with first order of business being getting a vote on the proposed name and the next step I said I would be uploading some code. Then from there on updates on the progress.
I don't understand what is wrong with making a thread for that purpose to track the early stage development of a coin?
So that the community of people who are interested in the progress can be updated. And so issues in the development stage can be discussed. First step of development interaction with the public is on the choice of a name.
Please enlighten me?
