When I said counterparty equivalent I meant something with a fair distribution. If you see all the next generation projects you find the underlying theme, greed of the developers. I think developers should be greedy but they shouldn't be dishonest and try to claim they are not. NXT, MSC, Ripple, Ethereum has all shown this tendency and Bitshares is following the same path.
How is counterparty more fair? Because it used proof of burn? That doesn't make anything about their crowd funding model more fair that just means that the developers can't use any of that money to help with development. How is the bitshares fundraiser not the most fair? It was announce well in advance and the duration of the fundraiser is longer than any other to date. You can mine pts, you can buy pts, you can donate btc, you can donate pts. There are so many ways to get an allocation in the snapshot. And as previously mentioned the daily allocation of 10,000 allows smaller players to accumulate more stake than they might otherwise.
You all awarded awarded yourselves all the Bitshares X 2-3 months back even though there is nothing there even now. Why would you do that, except to maximise your share? You have a silent fundraiser with your buddies, award yourselves all the shares and now say keep donating to us in the hope that some others will honour it and you will get something.
Bitshares X is a year in the making. There have been several posts here at bitcointalk regarding the Feb 28th snapshot for Bitshares X. Its not a silent fundraiser simply because you did not take the time to look into bitshares. Bitsharestalk.org is the second most active forum only after bitcointalk.org. Theres a huge community of supporters and it continues to grow.
I don't know if you all seriously believe in what you seeing. It would be difficult for you to realise the con your developers are pulling out because you all will profit a lot from it. You all are doing your part now by trying to promote now. In the past few weeks I have heard quite a bit about this DPOS, and it seems thats because you now need others to know to increased demand.
In the past few weeks you should have heard quite a bit about DPOS its revolutionary and the concept only came out about a month ago. The reason for the delay in the bitshares x software is largely due to the newly found realization of how to secure the block chain at the lowest cost.
