It is not a free market to use political gimicks to try to make someone look like they are not sincere about wanting to cure their illness as a way to cut off the market function that the sincere person is trying to propose. It was basically saying to me "accept communism or show everyone you aren't really sick".
That wasn't my intention
at all.I'm quite certain you
are sick, and moreover, I think I know what's wrong with you. That was kinda my point. If you've definitely ruled out Lyme disease and haven't taken any cholesterol lowering medication within the past three years, then I think I can help.
In so far as the whitepaper is concerned, yeah, it has the intrigue of Tarantino's glowing suitcase, naturally. I'd concur that I'd do a trade for that. Of the oft times I've been ill over the past 38 years there have been many occasions I would glady sell my soul for the cure. So that was my perspective.
But I don't really see what difference it makes what I do with the whitepaper once traded. Whether I give it away on street corners, or keep it to myself.... who cares?
But like I said, I genuinely am more intrigued about the variables of your illness. I only have a marginal interest in the paper.
To be honest: If it was down to me I would simply join forces with smooth and adapt your technology for use with Aeon. Given current low prices you could get significant returns from your tech without giving away development control. To me that's a sensible solution which I think you'd be happy with.
Fuck it, if you did that I'd help you with your illness for free.
If you really think you know whats wrong with him I think you should tell him with no strings attached. I think what happens on these forums should be separate from the health of a person in real life.
Just my two cents.
I understand that his attitude in he past might have left a bad taste in some peoples mouths but its a persons health we are talking about.
I'm not saying its unfair in any way to ask for something in return, its just the thoughts of the tree huger, humanitarian in me.
I was planning to reply to his post. Actually I very much appreciated his willingness to help. I felt bad that I pissed him off (if I did, but I think he wasn't pissed when he used the word fuck just he was putting emphasis on me working with smooth). But I hope he can understand that there are so many attacks flying here and there, it is very difficult to discern who is sincere or who is planting political traps.
Any way, I don't think he necessarily needs to give it to me for free, especially if I can afford to pay something and what he has can make me more productive. Discussion can add clarity on it.
He seems to be implying some connection to LDL or cholesterol. I am learning that so many things are interrelated. Any way, I came across a new revelation about low glutathione (actually I was aware of it before about the Methylation Cycle but some key aspects of this I hadn't studied sufficiently before), and so I was planning to make a post about that first then reply to him and see what he thought after reading that and then go into him about what he might know and what value I might have to give in trade.
It is not impossible that smooth and I could work together. I think the key issue is financial reality.
I am trying to figure out now what is best role for me. Based on my past, I would prefer to lead a project. I think I can bring a fresh perspective to expanding markets. But my damn illness has so frustrated me to the point of exasperation.
So any way, I came here based on the urging of others who wanted me to share my algorithms so they would get implemented in a project if was too ill to finish Ion. And when Shen announced, it seemed like that was a good time to consider opening up my algorithms.
But as I said, I have a new insight on my illness and I still have a itch to lead my own project. Yet if I fit very well into an existing project, maybe that is the better role for me. Or if I can raise some cash and only lose "first mover" on my anonymity algorithm, that may make sense given my precarious financial+health situation. The illness beat me down and made me realize that maybe I could no longer will power months of non-stop coding and sleeping under my desk.
Any way, I am hopeful about this breakthrough on the glutathione. Let me go write that up... (all the tabs for that research still open on my browser ... haha my gf always teases me "how many tabs you have open now" since the number always grows and rarely shrinks).
