If you want respect, demonstrate you competence by contributing code. It's not complicated, no matter how much you resent the requirement.
I understand type theory. My formal education included computer science at the highest levels. And I can google the rest.
OTOH you don't understand how to earn respect in the FOSS community, so you are doomed to fail.
I already told you I don't want your respect. I am laughing at you. I want your disrespect, because I don't value your discernment and I want to teach you a lesson.
I didn't know you know type theory, otherwise the following is already an accurate reply:
Now that you quoted the entire post, does it change the fact that he says MONERO IS A BROKEN DESIGN?
Not quite. I said Bitcoin is broken and both can't scale to million tx/s. But that doesn't make Monero broken for its target market. Bitcoin is broken both for scaling and for centralization of mining. Monero has advantages on the latter and also adds strong privacy.
My reasons for not wanting to be folded into the development group of Monero, is because I would be a little fish in a little pond. And I am not enthralled about coding on C++ code bases. So what is the redeeming factor, when I have so much opportunity and excitement on what I am working on now? I find it a bit insulting (but more humorous and motivates my competitive fire) when iCEBREAKER and americanpegasus insinuate that the only useful coding I could do in this world would be on the itsy bitsy coins they own. That is because they are speculators and not developers. The developers don't say that to me, because they know better.
It has nothing to do with not respecting open source (and Btw the creator of the term open source hates the term FLOSS), but rather thinking I can lead a more relevant open source effort than Monero. There are 1000s of programmers in this world. The few programmers Monero has is not a huge resource compared to the potential out there. We haven't even scratched the surface yet. The problem is that Monero's focus is too small and too narrow and no one in the project knows how or wants to broaden it. I am going to make an attempt to.
Edit: the disrespect is not any more intense than the disrespect you accord to me. I offer you the respect you reciprocate. It is your decision the level respect you deserve from me. You may not care, and I may not care either, lol.
