... massive btc profit which in the end is all that matters

I believe Bitcoin profit is what matters ONLY if bitcoin prevails in the long run.

The way I see it, Bitcoin has a first mover advantage and market awareness, but it is flexible as a distinct dinosaur. In the past 2 years I have seen no real innovation to the protocol, and hardly any applications built on top of the protocol.
In the past 6-months, i've seen magnitudes of innovation in other alts, whereas Bitcoin's development came from market acceptance, but not technological/application innovation.

I've seen the same thing in usenets in the early 90s. If you don't innovate, you will be left behind.
Microsoft, the undisputed king of software learned it the hard way.
Nokia, the undisputed king of Mobile learned it the hard way.

Bitcoin is not immune, and Blockchain 2.0 can leave Bitcoin a conglomerate of the past.

I do not know BTCdrak, but I know he is a very smart guy. I follow his posts.
Nonetheless, if BTCdrak had said that he is going to develop ClearingHouse by himself, ground-up, I would not have invested as this seems a heck of a task.
IMHO, the fact that he is going to integrate a proven architecture as CounterParty to be the foundation of ClearingHouse makes the project much more viable, secure, fast, and reliable.

Then again, only 4 days have past from the Viacoin launch. I can't expect him to deliver THAT QUICKLY...

My 2cents.

Well said, completely agree. I admire the dev's ability to execute what he has so far, but there are also valid comments regarding the current state of altcoins, the number of scams, how quickly things move, etc.

In the end, I would encourage the dev to consider sharing the load. He did update as to how people have reached out to help with development, and others in the community are stepping up to do what they can. But honestly, a CEO should not be worrying about an RSS feed. Delegate these and other minor things, necessary to the bigger picture, but not worth his time. A maestro doesn't make the music all on his own but he makes it happen nonetheless.

I know, just a couple days in. Relax, I got it and I agree, see my prior posts. Just would encourage dev to shift focus a bit. I've been there. I've got some products licensed and headed to stores nationwide. It was a very hard thing to do though because I was originally moving forward with the products as my own business. In the end, it is a much better path forward for me that license but it was hard letting go of my baby, I was very protective of it as I had invested so many hours and a lot of money.

That's how I relate at least. Great job so far.
