Fuserleer,So apparently you'll jump at the arrogance remark without answering any of my questions, this speaks quite loudly. I definitely do have issues with my own arrogance, you're correct in stating that to me; though I tend to see it as not many can debase me, so therfore my mind runs unchecked. I would define arrogance as being unwilling to listen or comprehend new information, which I don't have much an issue with as long as the new information carries weight of the proper truth. My block tree concept is not the same as yours, more so, an organic structure that grows scale ability as the network requires it, that allows live networks to be merged into one tree; that's where the concept came from. I'm not really aiming to defeat VISA off the bat, VISA's tx/s is mainly all network packets, it takes a few days for the funds to actually transfer, so 5k requests per second isn't a huge overhead in my opinion.
Personally, I've been watching you for some time Fuserleer. I don't necessarily want to be a part of your project, but was more so looking into finding a means of collaboration, or a meeting in the middle. I don't really care for your choice of name, wouldn't really ever want to own something called "Emunie" (just my opinion, don't get offended), nor that you ran an ICO among many other things.
I hope you can maybe see through emotion and understand my statement "your arrogance will be your downfall" is not hostility, consider it an outside opinion. I really don't have any issues with you, I actually have seen many similarities in our pursuits; hence why I have been attempting to commence contact with you. Not here to spit on your ideas (though you seem to be quite the one upper), I was asking constructive questions to possibly help you think differently. So, would you mind answering some of my questions? If you choose to ignore me again, that's perfectly okay; I'll just consider that a sign that there is no collaboration that could be had between us.
1. If you've been programming for 25+ years, why would you use Java? It over simplifies programming in my opinion, and has slower runtime (even if you argue 96%)
2. Why would you use a SQL database? Curious as to why you chose that route, was it for ease of development or any other performance oriented choices?
3. I'll quote one of my initial questions:
Second thing I see here, is that many are concentrating on "confirmed tx/s", but rather banks leave transactions as pending for days until the funds finally reach their destination. The initiation of the transaction is purely just protocol aka memory pool, and the confirmation in reference to digital currencies can be see as "gotten on a block ". You use account channels from what I understand of your implementation, how do you arrive at consensus if lets say I send merchant A coins, and also send myself coins from a node across the world at the exact same timestamp. How will the consensus be reached as to which is the valid transaction? How will the distributed network recover from lets say the trans atlantic cables being out of service cutting europe from the usa for an hour even, which at 2k transactions per second would be 7.2M transactions. And let's say 3.6M happen in US that directly conflict with 3.6M in europe, how will the network reorganize and reach a consensus once again?
I'll finally repeat my statement about your "arrogance" or my opinion of it, to clarify it is in the context of thinking you are more capable by yourself, rather than collaborating with other people. But you reinforced my initial thought:
Bottom line though, I'm 2 years ahead of you with innovation, so while I certainly am not the most brilliant, I'm more brilliant than yourself.
This statement seems a bit presumptuous and conceited to me... From what I see, and take this lightly no need to "get aggressive", that you want to prove one person can do it, that you are so super intelligent that you can do it all alone. Yes, this can be true within an infinite time span, so this leads me to my last question:
4. Why do you choose to not collaborate? Isn't the spirit of crypto "working together"?
Trust me, I've been in the same boat, "I need to prove it can be done by one person", had my source closed for quite some time, didn't let anyone help me, until humility kicked in and I realized it's not about being the "next best coin", it's about contributing to the betterment of the industry as a whole, not one particular community. It took me a bit of time and the right people to challenge me for this lesson to penetrate my mind.
I personally believe in
Cooperation, not Competition.Hope you let yourself see it,Viz.
