It's called being mature and humble.

Take a lesson from Satoshi.

It starts with you giving me mutual respect. You started this. Do you want me to show your numerous disrespectful posts and trolling the definition of "delegate" (which clearly has an alternative definition which fits my use of it).

Back in Satoshi's days here, there were respectful very skilled developers here. Now the forum is populated by half-assed who think they know more than they do and Dunning-Kruger over all the place slandering those of us who are at Satoshi's caliber and beyond.

I couldn't have said that before I wrote the two recent white papers. But now I've seen with my own eyes (actually make that 1 eye, I'm blind in the other) that I bested all of them, Maxwell, the Zerocash devs, the Cryptonote devs, and even Satoshi.

So I know the respect I deserve. Or at least we can start with mutual respect. I put up with your ad hominem FUDing for several posts, without blowing up but you just keep grinding and grinding away. What are you the Altcoin Discussion police? Who assigned your badge and rank?

Do you really think I give a rat's ass what you think of my personality (when what you are seeing is a delayed and patience lost mirror of your massive disrespect)?

I just have one suggestion for you. Prepare for massive humiliation when I launch.

You are going to eat that " Roll Eyes

" you were putting in every post about me in every fucking thread. Spreading your ad hominem shit all over the place.

Hey I don't have an ego problem. You are the one who is insulted and butt hurt ego when I pointed out you don't know how to read the thread before you comment, thus you make statements which were already refuted. Then you expect me to cower to you so you don't feel butt hurt.

Look in the mirror buddy. There is the ego problem.

Just because I dont agree with you does not imply disrespect. Don't get it twisted.

Don't put words in my mouth or paint me out to be the bad guy here.

I simply asked questions and pretty much got "wait until the white paper" or "don't discuss delegation anymore". And this is as you cherry picked what you wanted to release from your white paper (after the fact that I asked the questions then had the gall to make me appear to be incompetent on your concepts when you offered 0 substance other than words and talk).

For someone who has a "shit-ton" of work to do on your "project" you sure have a lot of time to respond to me.

GO WORK ON YOUR PROJECT AND PLEASE RELEASE IT WHEN YOU ARE DONE. Stop the hype bullshit by posting about it before it is even ready. Makes no sense and is premature in nature (still currently vaporware as smooth called it).

I won't be humiliated as I already offered to publicly apologize if you do create a system that does everything you claimed below:

Recently I announced my rationale to develop my coin non-anonymously, with any anonymity features to be added by other developers later.

The proposed name of the coin is Ion with a capitalized first letter when it can be written with a serif font, e.g. Ion otherwise ion instead of Ion. For me ion connotes a thing that can conduct a current and be zapped to a destination.

Formerly AnonyMint et al, I expended 2+ years thinking about anonymity designs and recently formalized an unreleased white paper which I think is the holy grail of on chain anonymity. This will be offloaded to other developers, so I can work non-anonymously on this coin.

The current focus of my development on this coin is to complete a novel consensus network design which has proposed the following fixes to flaws in Satoshis design while retaining proof-of-work as unbounded entropy[1]:

Censorship resistance even if mining is entirely centralized.
Attack-free instant zero confirmation instantaneous transactions.
Impervious to selfish mining and 51% attacks.
Transaction rates virtually unbounded by block chain bandwidth and size.
Resilient against network fragmentation.
Decentralization of pools and ASICs by making them uneconomic.
Non-heuristic Sybil and DoS resistance.

None of the above is a joke nor exaggeration. I am entirely serious. My programming background and expertise is documented in the archives of my prior usernames.

Currently unreleased white papers will not be published until this coin is nearer to release to insure these designs are released first in our coin. Thus for the time being I may not be providing more details on how the above features are accomplished.

Soon I will be uploading some code to the internet and will update this opening post and bump the thread. I will also be announcing some bounties in coins for those who want to do development on this coin. I will also later add some information on the targeted launch date and other details on the coin supply and distribution.

So that new readers can digest this thread from start to finish, I will be removing your posts sometimes to incorporate what was discussed into this opening thread post. I will also remove posts which are redundant or otherwise don't add anything useful information. Constructive critical discussion is welcomed.

The future goal is to have a Wiki and incorporate all discussion there. All posts would remain viewable in the Wiki history as they are removed from current versions of the Wiki pages and the outcome of discussion incorporated into the current versions of the Wiki pages. The point again is so new readers can access the information they need.

You are welcome to make an unmoderated thread, but do not expect me to comment there. Bring any issue in this thread if you want me to address it.

[1] My position until I am convinced otherwise is that all non-proof-of-work consensus systems have a bounded entropy (e.g. the total stake and/or any initial seeds used for randomization) and thus their attributes (e.g. decentralization, censorship resistance, DoS resistance, Sybil attack resistance, impartiality) is subject to a game theory which is potentially undiscovered. Whereas, the entropy of proof-of-work is unbounded because it is externally added and the game theory is well defined.
