I thought my implied point was clear - you haven't been participating in this thread UNTIL NOW. Your butthurt seems disingenuous, in other words.
Yes I get it! It's easier to destroy the credibility of someone rather than deal with his arguments.
I've not participated on this thread until I find it important to participate, same as everyone else!
So you say, but you also could have bought an old account to get more from sig campaigns and bounties without having to earn pesky merit...
Not the case, I've been in crypto since long ago, Easy to proof if I've to, but I don't find it necessary, my arguments in favor of Dero beeing free software are still valid.
Again with the butthurt. I have not always been a fan of CaptDero's terse and oblique ways - and I still call him out on it when appropriate now - but I also recognize that there is a small team behind DERO doing a tremendous amount of work. Why not give them a few more weeks or so to prove themselves worthy of our commitment rather than lambast them within days of releasing a complete rewrite of their blockchain?
Again... if the project is free software and administrated as an open project, it'd receive the participation of other developers and it might create an ecosystem around it.
I just explained to you the reasons that your argument, especially at this point in time are null. If you have been in crypto since 2014 then you would agree it is a different atmosphere. A project (especially in it's infancy) protecting it's innovation isn't a bad thing or a kiss of death. Think of it this way, if you didn't think this was game changing, then you wouldn't be upset.
