TPTB needs publicity, not VB

Illogical. I need publicity within the crypto currency arena, like I need a hole in my head (and I already have one of those). The only way my project will succeed is by NOT mentioning there is any plan B to involve a crypto currency to the initial target audience. My project is not primarily about crypto currency. Rather it is about trying to make a unicorn startup in the social networking realm.

You need early adopters, (VB already has his), that was my point. I think your strategy to keep the crypto element on a 'need to know' basis is wise, Jo Six-pack doesn't care how his sausage is made, he just wants flavor

The deleted reply was moved to my project's thread.

Since your and other posts in this thread accusing me of preying on Vitalik's fame require my response. If the mod is not going to delete every such accusation in this thread, then I have the right to respond to the accusation. I have moved that response to my project's thread so as to not clutter this thread.

Consider re-calibrating your responses, my original post (below) was actually complimentary towards you, i.e. VB is smart to avoid debating you as you might be able to show him up, coz you have skills, and you're criticisms aren't easily dismissed.

VB is smart to avoid TPTB, he doesn't need to prove anything to users on this forum, or other crypto forums. His target market isn't reading forums, but TPTB has a right to challenge him all the same. One day I think he will respond when it suits him. TPTB needs publicity, not VB

The rest was neutral and merely states the facts. Ethereum has launched and has acquired early adopters, and his target market is not using this forum, whereas you still appear to be recruiting supporters (is that not the case?). A case of friendly fire.

My reply was not only targeted towards you but also to those who constantly attack my technological statements by attacking my motives instead of attacking the logic of the statements. It changes the topic from the technology issues of the CCs I am analyzing to an analysis of myself and my plans.

One of your points was asserting or positing that I need to win support from this forum, which I want to refute. My early adopters will not come from this forum. Even if I had no reputation and no presence on this forum, my plan would proceed outside this forum.

The main purpose of this forum for me has been to learn about the technology and what to not do for a CC project. And also it provided the contacts for the minimal angel funding that sustained me while I completed my learning process, worked on my health, and is sustaining my initial development work until I can get the project crowdfunded (not selling tokens).

I don't need P&D speculators in my coin. The long-term HODLers will be welcome if they can find a way to obtain tokens. I am not going out of my way to help them do so, other than needing to provide a decentralized exchange so that users can cash out their tokens for fiat if they want to. I will not do anything to get tokens listed on centralized exchanges. And I am not making any promotion or promises to investors. Nor am I am offering any tokens to investors. I can't control what other people do with their for-use designed tokens. So you could I guess argue that my reputation here will determine if some speculators go try to obtain the tokens in the free market, but I can argue that there will be many more investors finding out about my project from outside this forum due to the planned crowdfund and later Seedr fund raising for the shares of the software startup I am proposing to launch. We will just have to see if I get any success in my project. Again my greatest challenge is my health. If rangedriver is correct and I am cured from taking Oregano oil, then I can code a lot more myself, and not need to rely so heavily on another developer, although I will still try to add another developer or two, hopefully who are as talented or more so than myself. We will just have to see what transpires. I can't predict.
