If I have learned anything in the world of crypto. It's just when you think nothing can get worse just when you think everythings at an all time low Mark Karpeles will walk his fat fucking ass into the room and spill a boiling hot frappucino all over your computer. Mark my words thinks are about to get worse.
This is legendary.
I agree. That's why the community turned down that unacceptable patch.
Still i have some news that might shock you. Even in open source programs you need developers. Developers to make them and maintain them.
And the fate of crypto-currencies is pretty much tied with the reputation and the actions of its developers.
That's basically it, a lot of coins have failed because the devs were not trustworthy or just inexperienced.
Yeah, there's not much way around the fact that things are going to be dependent on the developers. I guess the fact that we have 1000 currencies that we can switch to in the drop of a hat mitigates that risk somewhat.
It's like if Bitcoin devs ever went rogue there are clear alternatives to Bitcoin that could easily replace it. Not that I actually think Bitcoin devs would ever do something like that.
