Dude, you wouldn't even be here if you didn't care about the community, and we do love you. Dan is mortal, and obviously deficient in many matters as are we all. Your help is appreciated, but due to the low price of STEEM, most of those around here are being mad selfish. This behavior was present in BTS and every community so some degree. It's human nature.
I wish that the API was cleaner and more intuitive. Yeah, dan made a nice chunk o cash here to purchase a team that is going to hang around longer than his last one (BTS), and many leeches are still sucking the life out of his creations (BTS miners just agreed to double their salaries). Greed is everywhere but you can't blame them because it is born out of a desire to survive. Just how much money do you need before you never need to upvote yourself again?
King of kings and Lord of lords,
Oh, we surely all are deficient-- myself included. I'm not blaming Dan at all-- I totally want to involve him in our work if it's at all possible. Dan had the balls to conduct a real-world experiment with real-world magic internet money, and since I'm about to do something similar, well, I can say that it's "not the easiest thing in the world."
As for how much money I need, the current answer is, quite strangely, zero. I have so much fun working on Dawn and learning the dynamics of starting a company and blokchain systems and cryptoeconomics that half the time I don't know what day it is. Really, all this really is that much fun.
There are miners on Bitsares? Since when?
Amen
And here's fact: Dawn will always have Steem DNA, and @officialfuzzy DNA in it, and I'm always going to tell the story that way, too. We've thrown our own DNA into it as well, to create what we hope to be a powerful mutated three parent baby that lives for a thousand years.
And what baby wants is for Daddy blockchain to let it speak to it natively. Baby is very afraid that daddy will just make more undocumented API changes to the groundbreaking integrations that @baabeetaa has cooked up. VERY AFRAID.
Miners, witnesses, potatoes, potatows, semantics, whatever, a 2x pay increase is more than the pink slips my friends are getting, be glad, you are in the industry you are in... The magic internet money business. Others call them blockchains, but we don't make fun of the way others talk. But then again, attention to detail is a requirement for a blockchain (currency) designer like you. I hear you all the time on the Fuzzy Bear Show on Fridays, so I know that you are in the right place. You're an addict like the rest of us.
The uncertainty that Dan creates as he turns on a dime is exactly what it is. He is the artist, and STEEM is his muse. Dawn is yours, I have mine, in fact, this is exactly the one thread that everyone on Fozzie's show has (an addiction to their creations).
Do your own thing, the world is watching.
Most precious Jesus, son of Aliens,
Surely, we shall do our thing and eternally endeavor to do it well, as you eternally endeavor to reconnect with the mothership, stranded here on earth like some mere conehead.
Amen
When faddat actually builds something finalized and working...ill be stunned. Sincerely hope he will stun me...but lets just say as i see all these other devs doing amazing stuff with steem in recognition that it is IN BETA, and hear faddats constant complaints...i really tend to believe hebwont build anything. Would i like him to prove me wrong? Well 90% of whatever he would build would have been my idea...so if he cuts me in and gives me credit for the idea when he has proven he can build it, great. I SEVERELY doubt anyone working with faddat is going to end up with anything but tears though. At least this has been my terrible experience....an experience i would have never had working with someone like @good-karma or @jesta. You know ....people who build what they say they will and DONT MAKE EXCUSES why "its too hard".
Oh and i have a pretty decent sized list of others who will back my claims , btw...cause it seems many have walked the trail of tears before me.
