Apparently you have no idea what I've done for Byteball, not surprisingly though, because I was here long before you. Not only in terms of Byteball but in cryptocurrency general. You can see from my bitcointalk forum profile that I joined in early 2012. I got into bitcoin when it was cheap (4$) and I got into byteball when 1 gbyte was 10$. not to mention all the free gbytes I received during the initial distribution thanks to the bitcoins I linked. I am not surprised though, that you keep spitting bile at me, because you are one jealous (and fat) laggard which is apparent in your behavior. You appeared on the scene during the euphoria phase of the last rally and you know it and you are trying to hide it by being quick to downtalk "those other lambo boys" (but not you, oh no, you are not like THEM). You compensate with petty talk and arguments the shortcomings in other aspects of your image, trying too hard to fit in and "contribute". It's so obvious and it's disgusting.

As for my contribution, I have developed a functional Byteball casino which goes much farther than just a chat bot messenger. Not to mention that I provided the community with a C++ function for a byteball address validation and a bb2tcp proxy that let's anyone easily convert byteball connections to plaintext TCP. I guess while you've been busy talking the talk I've been busy walking the walk, as I disappeared from the slack roughly at the time I started developing the Byteball casino project (almost 2 years ago). But, you? A web site that puts your avatar inside an O-letter?! WTF? Are you making a joke here or what? You are talking about contribution and your own contribution is like a rookie level programming task completed by someone who even didn't learn software development in school but took it up by themselves as a hobby.

So, your greatest achievement is that you were early and you ported Javascript code into C++ code and created bb2tcp that only you use?

Your other contributions are adding extra pairing event and fixing console for non-tty

https://github.com/byteball/headless-obyte/commits?author=1Hyena

Oh, and then there was also that PR that added your MUD bot to bot store
https://github.com/byteball/obyte-hub/commits?author=1Hyena

Damn, you have been so busy. Tongue

If all you know me is by the O-letter tool that took me only couple hours to make then you clearly have no idea what I have done during last 8 months. I am not going to list them here because there would be too many things to list, but your contribution is basically shown on just 5 links.

And no, I got my first Bytes in October 2017 (like most other cryptocurrencies I got) and joined Slack community in end of March 2018 when email attestation was announced.

I never said "scaling can only come AFTER adoption", what I said was ...

Softening things up there, aren't we? You have now resorted to shifting goalposts like all losers do when they have no other options. No problem, you stupidly chose the worst position to defend, so changing your opinion now is perfectly fine. What is not fine is the fact that you don't have balls to admit your mistakes and you are trying to smoothly shift the goal post without losing face.

Not softening anything, just saying that you are lying or misunderstood.

Right now, the worst thing about Byteball is the community as it's been infested by brainwashed moon lambo boys who think that cryptos are all about holding hands and doing pump-and-dumps around a socialist campfire.

I don't know why you are trying to tag me with socialism (I am against socialism), but like I said you before, you have weird understanding what socialism is.

Byteball could scale really well if the economic incentives were right. It requires witnesses to professionalize and invest in hardware. Right now the greatest threat to byteball is the widespread fallacy that home users need to run nodes and validate transactions. Tony was smart enough to provide the lite wallet from the beginning but the idea of professional nodes has not been emphasized enough. I have not yet lost all hope for Byteball, but recent developments are not to be proud of. For example, the Byteball Improvement Protocol initiative could flush the whole project down the toilet. Just because Blockstream Token (BTC) uses it does not mean it's a good idea. You see, a base layer of money has to be rock solid and never change so that businesses could build on it. Bitcoin Core is doing it wrong and I am hurt to see Byteball going the same direction. You don't see the IP or TCP changing once every 6 months, do you? Internet would not exist if IP had an IPIP (internet protocol improvment protocol) and self-proclaimed shitlords using it as a personal experiment for whatever wild ideas they get.

The good thing is that it is true that with proper economic incentives, hardware and software, Byteball would have no problem scaling for the whole world. Also, Tony hasn't personally said anything stupid yet, so even if the community is full of brainwashed morons such as Tarmo, as long as Tony is not listening them and drives the project to the right direction, I can keep building on Byteball.

Sure, witnesses should have high-end hardware, nobody is against that, but it's not just witnesses who needs to keep up, all full nodes need to keep up. I don't know if you are running full node or not, but if you would then you would know that even Raspberry Pi can keep up with full node right now. So, what exactly are we suppose to scale if there is need for less than 1TPS.

Tony has voiced his opinion about Bitcoin mining and economy of scale multiple times here, but I guess you don't read. Also, many of the latest improvements on getting from 15TPS to 30TPS is also his and they are all about optimizing the SQL queries and doing some queries in memory instead. Tony still runs most witnesses, so it's still his vision.

But go ahead, make your fork, nobody is stopping you. Good luck.
