Essentially I am asking are we attached to an ideology, or is it time to recalibrate our goals...

Does Bitcoin represent the only possible success for blockchain tech and again what does success mean?

For example, does success mean:

Freedom from government oversight?

Disintermediation of banks?

Serving the underprivileged?

If could wave a wand what would the future look like?

What factors will satisfy us that blockchain technology is on track for realizing its potential?

Because as of now we see very little in the way of commercial and user engagement...

I have been a customer ANX, I have screwed up sends, sent Bitcoin to Darkcoin addresses, failed to enter transaction codes, generally have made all the mistakes all of us make as we learn.

The guys at ANX have been always awesome and I could not have more respect for them.

However what has happened today, I am trying to login and it appears they are down?

HELLO ANX where are you?

Because this troll got traction and we didn't call him on it immediately.

Firstly as stated why is he here but to reenforce a negative that in some way is to his advantage

Secondly if he is done what's in it for him but to prove his point due to questionable self-doubts otherwise why hang around (unless he intends to buy back in)

So now he has found a means by which to put down Dark what is his next step?

a) does he simply exit and pass on Evan delivering a working solution

b) does he simply exit (never to be heard from again) because he feels technically offended (whatever that might mean) OR

c) does he hang around waiting for it to bottom out and buy back in because he realises that tantrums only go so far and that given Evan delivers a working RC4 then the price will bounce and he can make a buck independent of his technical principles (whatever they may be) AND OR

d) does he pull his head in and realise that Dark has the brand and liquidity and has room to make mistakes and improve their offering given their first mover advantage and this gives Dark a tremendous competitive position and combined with the obvious humility and transparency of Evan and his associates the market want's Darkcoin to deliver and we want Evan to win because he doesn't resort to insults and unnecessary name calling but works really hard to keep his commitment to the cause of anonymity.

CLEARLY the motivation behind this rant is because he feels a victim to being asked to pay his Masternode fees and he wants to rain on Dark's parade because he didn't get his way, look at the links and attempts to intimidate.

Personally I feel very comfortable having placed my trust in Darkcoin, Evan and his team and realise now its our responsibility to show our support for character and to demote someone who throws in spurious arguments to hide his true reasoning (I have to say such behaviour reminds me of Karpeles but at least Karpeles was trying to survive rather than acting to destroy something simply because he was petulant)
