Theres one other concern mentioned here that I havent addressed. Ill admit that this may look a bit sudden and somewhat dramatic, but when I saw what Jared said this morning, I said to myself, this is just unacceptable.
Peer reviewing a whitepaper is like dating your sister's friend. It never turns out quite like you expected it to. Plus everyone has a whitepaper...and a sister. The genius is in the code. The actual code is the proof. Review it here: https://github.com/digibyte/digibyte When he said something similar to me last year, as mentioned earlier today, I attributed it to immaturity and inability to field very direct questions, but when I saw the same thing again this morning, said with such condescension, I couldnt help but reiterate publicly that
documentation is good, not bad.
When his response to that was character defamation, I realized that this guy is capable of shooting himself in the head, and I asked myself WTF I was doing here. Okay, with a cost basis of 22 SAT, I knew exactly why I had come back, why I had tried to get him to take DGB development seriously, etc., but the question now was WTF was I *still* doing here after realizing that nothing had changed with respect to long term viability and that this guy was even more unrefined than ever.
Nevertheless, being the ever hopeful person that I am often to my detriment I gave him a chance to set things right. We all saw what he did.
No thank you. I have enough information to go on, thank you, and even though this may look like a surprising change of heart, put into the context that goes back to 2014 and seeing that nothing has changed, it is clearly anything but an instant reversal. Id call it a culminating event that made everything crystal clear and left me with no excuse what-so-ever to keep on trying to justify a long term hold for DGB, or any kind of collaboration, for that matter.
Last year, under similar stress, we saw a similar outcome.
There was something of a lite version the year prior.
All interesting development periods with a failure to capitalize.
All for all the same reasons.
Alright, I admit, on the surface it looks sudden, and to a certain extent it is, but when seen as a culminating decision based on years of experience, I think we can agree, its not really all that sudden.
Most certainly this is an issue I have with DGB. Its not with the community. Ive pushed this community hard in the past, but this time I have no intention. Ive errored in the past in this regard by having unreasonable expectations with regards to community participation. No, I have no issue with you. We see each other on other boards, and were all friends.
Oh, and the fact that it happened today? Coincidence I tell you. You know, I obviously dont control when the DGB god speaks and what he says. ;-)
