Dude, my talents are advertising and branding.

Then you should understand trademark law and not make a silly statement that belies understanding of trademark law (and lack of even a google search to see how many entities use Sync). Had you not added the condescending "Inconvenient truths...", then I wouldn't have been irked and just assumed you were rushed. But when someone is condescending, they have an extra burden to write correct statements, especially now we learn this is your claimed area of expertise.

I'm trying to give you a free gift of opinion because it's difficult to see your own project objectively.

I appreciate that.

What I don't appreciate are Monero crowd who seem to think they have a monopoly on the future of altcoins. I prefer to give respect to each other and let everyone innovative, compete, and share where it is synergistic. If we can do that, I then have no reason to be irked.

Learn when to differentiate between when someone is genuinely trying to attack you vs. trying to help you in a coarse manner.

It is difficult to discern that when people insert challenges to mutual respect, such as "inconvenient truths...". Of course no one is perfectly objective all the time, so it helps just to be respectful when making a suggestion. Notice how when I tried to give you a heads up on the risks of promoting crypto investment securities, I was very respectful, but you took a stab at me (though you appeared to make it a joke, yet at my expense, so let it go but did flag it as a potential sign of an ego problem). After you continued on, I was forced to become a bit more forceful, yet I was not trying to lose respect, while I was put in an undesirable position because you were refusing to take the time to understand what is covered in detail already (I don't like having to repeat myself too many times because of the cost of my time), so either I had to ignore or invest considerable more time to explain (than I wanted to invest in that on your behalf because I think I already explained it).
 
To date, I still don't own any aeon.  I find that I have accidentally fell into helping with it, but I certainly don't feel enough brand loyalty to try to "FUD" anyone, certainly not over a similar sounding name.  
  
Also, you need to look into the discussion about DAG over on the technical board; they are proposing something that sounds a lot like your system.

I have been all over that thread and even asking technical challenges they can't adequately answer and suggesting how to make their technology work correctly.

greed and ego may insist you do not

Again your condescending incorrect assumptions about me in general and my motivations in particular exhibit something about your "shoot from the hip" before doing adequate verification and research style that is becoming apparent in numerous examples.

I have explained numerous times that an existing block chain can not work with my design, and The Mythical Man Month when dealing with spontaneous iterative design creativity means it is much more likely to be more efficient to do it myself than be bogged down in a swamp of communications which is the case with any group effort.

It is also about retaining my creative flexibility. It is also about not throwing pearls at swine, meaning don't prematurely destroy value that can be used to fund and drive more creativity.

My job now is to teach you all a lesson about which stage open source excels and which it doesn't.

Really the issue is your ego (as evident by the joke you made at my expense which is linked above), not mine. I have explained this up thread by quoting Eric Raymond's essay "Ego is for little people", yet as usual I am incited to repeat myself. I am just going to have to learn to ignore those "little people" who have the ego problem Eric explained. Sorry that is not an egotistical statement. Suggest you read his essay.

Edit: note it isn't really a big deal. We can just let slide off our backs. I can respect you. I really don't prefer to cultivate acrimony and disharmonious ambiance (drags on my preferred cheerful, optimistic, passionate outlook).
