Hi! I check Telegram often, and definitely prefer it over Skype (due to stronger encryption and absence of Microsoft snooping). I have PMed you my Telegram number. If Telegram isn't possible, then PM me back and I can send my skype handle.
3) Elements-Alpha contains the Segwit-only features, whereas my understanding is that Liquid contains the features that are compatible with the present non-Segwit Bitcoin network. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but my understanding is that Liquid is therefore a rather centralized attempt at a sidechain.
7) The escrow proposal sounds good, but can we make it a 2-of-3 escrow (utilizing a multisig address)? Bitrated is a directory of reputable independent escrow agents-- among these is coblee (Charlie Lee, creator of Litecoin for those who didn't know), and
he has a top-tier reputation as an escrow agent. Could we perhaps invite someone like Charlie (and one other reputable agent) in addition to PsychoticBoy so we can do a fairly solid 2-of-3?
Added you on Telegram.
3) Liquid is the internal ledger between a few exchanges. There are multiple implementations of Lightning network (such as lnd written in Go). Have you seen this one:
https://github.com/ElementsProject/lightning ?
Perhaps your next project after elements alpha or in case you fail to port elements alpha you can switch to lightning and still claim the funds? Im open for all suggestions.
7) I agree on your proposal if coblee chooses to accept it. There are 3 options:
- We send all funds to coblee and he releases the funds to you when you successfully complete this project (as in working and ready for production)
- We can use 1-of-2 multisig escrow with you and coblee. Funds to be released when you successfully complete this project (as in working and ready for production)
- We can use 2-of-3 multisig escrow with you, coblee and psychoticboy. Funds to be released when you successfully complete this project (as in working and ready for production)
Funds to be send to coblee/multisig address is 750.000 GRS. Do you agree on that ammount? Lets determine the ammount now and get that fixed. If price rises/lowers by 1 september 2017 then you still get 750.000 GRS.
