I'm not away from anything, WE are away. I'm doing my part and will continue doing it, what's yours?
I'm not a fan of whitepapers, it has been a while, in bitcoin and cryptocurrency whitepapers are neither white nor a paper, rather a colorful advertisement for running ICOs and making dirty money by scamming people and hurting bitcoin ecosystem.
I'll formalize core protocols in step #3 and Github repo is scheduled for step #5 as I've clarified above
To be crystal clear:
1) I'm not under any form of a contract, it is not a scheduled project with budget and time tables.
2) I won't do anything about it without a minimum of community support/contribution, why should I? After all, WE are in step #1 i.e. discussing outlines and finding more contributors.
Now my question: If we could have a better bitcoin in terms of scaling, decentralization and privacy without touching or hurting legacy bitcoin, without spreading FUD, without consuming legacy bitcoin resources while we are helping and strengthening legacy bitcoin, what would be your responsibility?
I mean other than naysaying and accusing peers of being incompetent or the project being vaporware?
Whitepapers when done correctly can be the general information needed for a new concept or project but I would agree that when looking at the Bitcoin whitepaper its not very useful for beginners and thats what a whitepaper should be designed for. It should be a basic introduction to the concept and able to be read by everyone and not just technical Bitcoin users. This is why I have mentioned that ease of use is very important to adoption.
Creating a better Bitcoin has already been done to death and none of them have the success that Bitcoin has. Its not because they are not better than Bitcoin but because Bitcoin is known as the first cryptocurrency to gain momentum. Anyone else trying to replicate and add to Bitcoin will forever be known as altcoins and will not be as successful.
