In summation, there is no financial incentive to run servicenodes in the event they are ever developed, or even hold coins for that matter. The developer wants to dump all of his. Want a preview of the wallet? That's pay per view. You'll need to provide donations in a means that absolves him from the success of this project.

Rest assured, there's no way the developer would ever abandon the project after dumping all his coins though, he holds the principles of decentralization far too dear to his heart. You can totally take his word for it too, because everything he's said so far in this thread has been completely accurate. Also, dash is a scam. Thank God I divested from dash to support georgem, otherwise life would be far too easy as my daughter's college tuition would be paid and I would have passive income for the rest of my life.

I divested from another investment that would have netted me about 60K - enough to pay off my own schooling.

Feels bad...

At least we might have some nodes that might be profitable some of the time, that is, whenever miners allow it.

Absolutely. they say you never realize a loss until you sell, so I guess I'm taking this bag of spr to the grave!

Guys I think we need a support group to help deal with our depression. CBG for short, better known as "Cucked By Georgem."

This is my fault, not Georgem's. Please stop attacking him.

The deeper or bigger picture idea was something I wanted to see happen. I thought there was consensus on that, but perhaps I was mistaken.

I truly believe in the future potential of crypto and like it or not Bitcoin is the mothership at this point. It would be a gift to the corporate world if Bitcoin fails because a model for incentives after mining can't be found. Fees are the long-term, but there are currently problems with implementing fees.

I was at fault because I didn't put forward a strong enough case to counter the long standing position that devs know everything and they rule all. I should have put forward a strong argument that the keyboard is not mightier than the pen.

Dash's next big play, Evolution, was something I thought about and posted as something in SPR's long-term future many months before it was announced by Evan (yes, I do think Dash has used stuff pouring out my head meant for SPR - but I could be 100% wrong because I don't know how Evan come to think about Evolution).

And please remember, Apple's fortunes were linked not to its devs but to it's PR-investor.

If I can come up with a credible proposition (you tell me, is it?) for solving one of Bitcoins biggest long-term structural problems, something that will be exposed by the next halving, I can come up with a solution to the next steps to get there.

But first, I do need to address this incessant crypto dev idol thing head on. That is why we are where we are. Stay tuned.

Good luck with that mate. I though you were one of the cockroaches!
