wtf, you deleted a fair comment thundertoe, censorship helps nobody!!
WTS ~150k TEK
bad call Big Toe, that dude is just maximizing his stake returns, that doesn't make him an asshole any more than a guy who uses an accountant to minimise his tax.
you're out of line with that comment IMO, but it's your coin, so you can insult your posse if you want to
what exactly is the 'asshole' doing?
IMO Thundertoe was on the ball in calling those who were gaming the system 'assholes'. It was they who were censoring (deleting) easily achievable staking difficulties and deprived others of realising their full potential stakes.
Paraphrasing the top of this thread reads that it is self-moderated and if you don't want to be censored, don't post. Thundertoe was just maximising what he can legitimately do, just like the guy you mentioned who uses an accountant to avoid tax.
I view your comments to be unhelpful, particularly at this point in time, and I should imagine that they are out of line with the views of most ordinary TEKstakers. Furthermore, I suspect your motives.
The dummy spit is deleting posts containing alternate opinions. I'm not interested in investing $$ in a coin that expects user goodwill to survive. A good dev should expect people to try and game every advantage, especially alt coins which are basically science experiments. Did thundertoe want to discover the effects of HIS coin paramter choices after TEK was being used in the wild by millions of users? A good dev should welcome every attempt to destroy his coin, that's how they'll get better and survive, it's evolution. I can't believe some of you guys want TEK to be like an old boys club where everyone plays by the rules, and naughty boys get banished for saying nasty things.
People gaming things is as old as human kind.
As an investor, I for one don't appreciate anyone "attempting to destroy" Tekcoin. It will be 51% attacks next. What an arsehole! I'm sure Thundertoe's intervention will restore the integrity of this coin.
and thundertoe has a chance to fix a problem when user numbers are extremely small, so it's a GOOD thing for you as an investor ... right! The guys gaming the system force an improvement ... agreed?
when i drive a car I feel better knowing people literally drove that mother into walls at high speed to smash it to pieces to find the weal spots, so they fix them before I drive it on the open road. Those guys smashing cars, or cracking networks, or testing drugs on rats are trying to break things, to find weaknesses and problems, then fix them.
allcryptos including TEK and bitcoin even need to be stressed tested before mass adoption. any dev who doesn't willingly accept that better re-think their strategy IMO. Losing a few 100 bucks now is relatively painless, but what about when marketcap was a billion, and your loss is in the millions?
calling people assholes for stress testing TEK parameters shows a fundamental mis-understanding of what stage of development alt coins are in.
Let's be clear about this. You are only piping up because Thundertoe is about to improve Tekcoin and make it more bullet-proof against people like you. Stress testing were you? What a laugh.
You tried to divert attention away from the proposed changes by making a mountain out of a molehill - in an effort to undermine what Thundertoe was trying to do. People calling others arseholes is as old as humankind. Sometimes it puts into a nutshell exactly what they are.
