Re: Replacing Bitcoin with something less wasteful (split from Is deepbit.com stealing coins?)
I rather do enjoy proving people wrong, yes.
You didn't propose a solution based off of some other work. You linked to a thread where someone had proposed a solution (and a failed one at that). If you want to use someone else's proposal as your own - fine, but just say it up front. And again, that "solution" in the thread you linked to - it doesn't work.
The guys maintaining the source code are also the ones continuing to engineer new facets of the software. They are one and the same in this project. Many suggestions are made by the community and by the developers themselves, and some of them are chosen to be implemented. To say that Bitcoin cannot evolve from its current state is to be blatantly ignorant of the current development process.

Bzzzt! Wrong again. Sorry you couldn't keep up with the adults. The project I referred to was the BOINC project, clearly anything that isn't spoon fed to you is automatically above your reading comprehension level. There was an extra-credit question had you answered correctly, so you are now 0 for 2. With regard to the Greencoin posting, that the distinction between work in the requirements phase and a "failure" is lost on you just tells everyone you wouldn't recognize either one even if one came up and bit you on the ass. Keep pretending, it's fun to watch, kind of cute actually.
Thanks for once again confirming you have no knowledge of the software development process, firsthand or otherwise. Actually if the developers are any good at all they could get a real job doing it and one would hope they do. This is probably the most common reason for open-source projects being abandoned, near the top of the list along with simple application obsolescence and the developers finding something more interesting to do. Go wander around SourceForge a bit, it's a great place full of nifty stuff and home to some favorites of mine, but the ratio of dead projects to live ones there must be at least 4 to 1.
If we could find someone with sufficient background in cryptography, it might be interesting to open a discussion of work towards Bitcoin 2.0, although I of course would rather like the name TulipCoin, it captures the current reality of Bitcoin so well. I would look for someone who could show some relevant exposure from a related bachelor's degree or higher, say in math, computer science, or quantitative methods in economics. Yammering teenage monkeyboys may come back later after they grow up.
How did you ever get so simple minded, are you an American 12 year old on Ritalin? If either of my kids were as witless at that age as you are so proud to be, I would have had an obligation to society to either get them fixed or put them down for good. However if you are much older than 12, it raises the question of who gets you ready to be picked up by the short bus each morning. If you weren't already Sargeant Micropenis, we could call you Special Ed.
You may stand at ease, Sargeant Micropenis. Resume being ridiculous at will, we know you can't help yourself
