The pain was getting too painful. I had to step away for a while. Wasn't expecting to see this when I came back. Dare I cautious optimism?

Pain? I must have missed that part. I did buy some yesterday. I promised that when it went up I would sell and lock in profit. Well it went up today and I didn't sell. I fall for that trick every time Grin

I did however contribute today to the future work of moneromoo. Inside scoop, there will very shortly be a funding proposal for development of i2p, the kovri project. So TrueCryptonaire and N-rG you will have another chance to help insure the success of the coin you believe in.

I have proposed that the mining rewards were used in funding development but nobody agrees with it. Now you guys are begging money from me... Huh

shame on you and everyone else who thinks like that. the community decided against it. accept the collective decision. refusing to help finance the project just because you are not happy with the way of financing is stupid. its also your investment and you know developement is not free.

donate at least 1% of your holdings. i dont beg for it, i expect it from you (and everyone else who is interested long term and not contributing himself).

respect to everyone in the hall of fame, you da real MVP Kiss

As long as there are other people contributing, why should I do it? And if there is no other people contributing, then why to hold Monero?
That's exactly the argument why I thought it would have been a good idea to fund marketing and development from the block rewards, not from the pockets of bagholders.
I think Darkcoin has that sort of approach and I consider it good for long haul not to be dependent on the generosity of bagholders.

you are just a free rider then in my eyes. if everyone would think like you this project would have gone nowehre.

we will have a special table for those llike you at every conference i am, sowhere far away in the corner.

Yes because this project relies on donations and the genorisity of stingy guys.
Therefore it would have been better to take a part of block reward (perhaps 1-2 %) to development and marketing (I consider marketing now more critical than development).
If the miners feel it is not profitable to mine anymore, they will quit mining and the difficulty readjusts.
ALso, no matter how much is donated - it will not speed the development enough... The whole GUI fiasco is a good example of it. It was collected like 1 year or so ago with quite hefty prize (18 000 XMR) which currently represents more than 100 k usd. But still the GUI is not there... Well, we will see if it comes out (or not) by the end of 2016...
