First off, we do not have and have never had any investors in Sequentia.

The person commenting is none other than Enrico Rubboli, a former engineer at Bitfinex whose story (as confirmed by Paolo Ardoino, who liked the tweet) you can read here.

Enrico opened a company to build a project (Mintlayer) based on a bastardized early version of this sidechain design (created by my co-founder Alberto de Luigi), and I did indeed help him raise $18 million before discovering that he had no intention to build this sidechain, reporting my findings to his investors, and being kicked out of the project alongside Alberto.

In nearly 4 years, he has managed to spend a majority of these $18 million on luxury cars and homes, paid developers to waste almost 2 years trying to build it on Substrate, then declared it couldn't work, and had them work on making a re-branded fork of BlueWallet to show "progress", and since then has released a useless scam erc-20 (illegal security, promissory note for mainnet token), fired and re-hired a few different teams of developers and marketers a few times, and now has managed to create a cookiecutter blockchain on a new codebase, but still nothing related to the whitepaper / a bitcoin sidechain.

We've had a few volunteers try to start Sequentia github repos a few times - we've never claimed anywhere or to anyone that these people had done any significant work or that we have made any substantial progress in developing Sequentia. I can only imagine that Rubboli pointing at this is a classic case of projection, because he knows he can't justify the "progress" on Mintlayer's side.

He's also used this $18m 'treasure chest' to pay lawyers to troll the courts a few times with the allegations he mentions in his comment, and is currently appealing the Judge's ruling to dismiss these cases.

To anyone reading this, I can promise one thing: We have learned a lot from our unfortunate encounter with Rubboli, and we will not repeat the same mistakes.

There was a time when this would've been not just the best, but really one of the only places to find the type of person we're  looking for.

I was here during those times, and I still come back now and again. So I figure, maybe there's a chance some others still do as well. It's an extremely long shot, I know and stated this in my last post, but I wouldn't go so far as to say it's just pure desperation.

Yeah, I realise this and made this post without much expectation, but suffice it to say this isn't the only place we've published this.

Right, that's what I initially thought you meant, and affirmatively answered with "we have a company with shares" - yes of course, it is registered with local government.

Depends on what you mean by a legal framework; as I stated we have an entity and have done a fair bit of legal legwork to the extent that we can plan ahead for the project's growth - but at the moment we are just two people (my co-founder and I) within this legal structure, so take that as you will.

We have a company with shares, internationally registered trademarks, legal opinions and contract templates drafted up, essentially everything in line to begin fundraising (specifically for a pre-seed SAFE round), but our priority at the moment is finding a lead engineer.

We are looking for someone who would be able to lead the development of a Bitcoin sidechain project using Elements. This project, currently called “Sequentia”, is so far nothing more than a concept, which we’ve described in a whitepaper as well as a theoretical paper; both can be found here.

In a nutshell, the core idea behind Sequentia is a Bitcoin sidechain that is optimized for seamless cross-chain atomic and Lightning swaps with Bitcoin. The intended result is a UX that’s centered around a standard Bitcoin/LN wallet which can be expanded to include tokens issued on the sidechain, and facilitate peer-to-peer swaps between these and BTC by using DEX protocols and platforms; therefore never requiring a ‘representation’ (pegged derivative) of Bitcoin on the sidechain.

To achieve this, there are (broadly speaking) two important changes that need to be made to Elements compared to its implementation in Liquid:

• Anchoring. A consensus rule requiring every sidechain block to have a reference to a Bitcoin block at an equal or higher height than the Bitcoin block referenced by the previous sidechain block. This means that a reorg on Bitcoin would also cause a reorg on the sidechain, as sidechain blocks would be discarded whenever they contain a reference to an orphaned Bitcoin block.
• No Coin. There should be no specific transaction fee currency on the sidechain. Thus, users would be able to propose sidechain transactions to Block Signers with the fee expressed as any amount of any token issued on the sidechain. In the most common expected use cases, transaction fees on the sidechain would ideally paid as a fraction of the same asset(s) being transferred on the sidechain. For example, one could have a Sequentia wallet containing only USDT, and use it to perform a p2p swap to acquire BTC. Only in the case of more volatile or less liquid assets (for which Block Signers might have no/insufficient demand), would a user possibly need a second sidechain asset in their wallet in order to pay fees.

In addition to the aforementioned optimization for cross-chain swaps, one of our longer-term goals is to switch out of the Strong Federation consensus model entirely and replace it with a type of modified proof-of-stake mechanism. This mechanism would also leverage Bitcoin’s own consensus in order to maximize persistence/transaction finality (other than in the case of Bitcoin reorgs), although it would use a “governance token”, which would nevertheless not be a “coin”.

While there are important reasons why we feel that this is necessary in order to create the most robust sidechain possible (more on this here), we also recognise that it isn’t required for our MVP/Proof-of-Concept, as we believe Sequentia would still be of immense value even using a Strong Federation for block creation.

We do not currently have any funding. But we will guarantee very generous equity compensation to anyone able to contribute their time to the project, up to consideration for a position equal to the two current co-founders.

Да и при жизни в частнном доме, есть смысл брать электромобиль. Если он с нормальным запасом хода и удалённость от города небольшая.

Заряжать машину при помощи переноски выброшенной с балкона квартиры, очень сомниельное занятие 

Больше нравится бумажная книга, но цены на них конские. Поэтому читаю бесплатно с телефона и компьютера.

В РФ полно земли, но строят дома муравейники. Кому это выгодно? Конечно лучше жить в своем доме, при условии, что элементарно проведены дороги и электричество. Нет зависимости от ЖКХ, УК, соседей, участкового или местного депутатишки.

Биток подарить с условием не тратить до следующего ДР!  Через год будет сюрприз 

У всех курильщиков потребность в никотине. Но это не повод травиться

Крах банковской системы тоже предсказывают

научите брать взятки в криптовалюте)))))

в крупных городах-возможно что наличка совсем скоро будет не актуальна.
но в глубинке... очень-очень сомневаюсь, не аттавизм наличка в глубинке, вообще.

а в РФ по его делу разве разбирательств не будет?

фильмов не пересмотрели?)))

вполне симпатично и довольно интересно. Продолжайте совершенствоваться и отбоя от клиентов не будет.

а где Вы такую информацию прочитали?

а может так и задумано?
