Worldcoin : not a good idea?
-
Please, please, please, read what is being said. Even if “your” partnership does work and I’m not criticizing you for being enthusiastic or doing the partnership as such.
At the moment that is your project and is going against a lot of the reasons I joined Feathercoin. i.e. miriad confusing alt coins, scam coins, no mining or forum support and no long term development strategy .
I am also completely against gambling. I know of more than one person who is addicted to it and whilst Feathcoin might be used for gambling I am not happy that we now (seem to be) promoting gambling as a way forward for the currency …
I am extremely not happy that the answer wasn’t something along the lines of “I’ll get in touch with worldcoin and the error will be fixed within the hour, even if we have to do it for them”

From a few minutes of searching, I show Worldcoin released a patch to address the nag screen on June 30th with version 6.3.1.

I respect your opinion about gambling, obviously I don’t feel the same. The minute you start trying to control how adults spend their resources, personally, I have an issue. Not interested in debating it, I’m simply stating we see the world differently. The beautiful thing about Feathercoin is we CAN disagree. You can attach to projects that you feel are important.
-
You can keep saying ‘your partnership’ but it doesn’t change the fact that the coin developer as well as other members of the community are on-board. Hundreds of different opinions, we hope everyone can find an area they support.
-
Feel free to take Feathercoin in other directions. If you want to start a non-gambling initiative, it simply takes a voice and few people to support it.

I appreciate the comment on the enthusiasm

Major deadlines are due on Monday, I’ll try to keep an eye on this thread if I can find a few minutes.

Justabitoftime is not alone in his stance. I have a completely different mind set, background, experience, and come from a completely different age generation. I thought this partnership was the best thing for Feathercoin and the respective coins before we even had meetings about it. The meetings we have had between the coins have only solidified this.We are going to be doing things that no other coin has done (bitcoin included) and, it is only possible because of this partnership. I understand how you all are currently measuring coins because it is how coins have always been measured. This partnership is going to change that.

I appreciate your response wesphily.My reaction isn’t really about the reasoning of the partnership per say but more about the response when asked about it. When someone gives me marketing speak when I ask for an answer about it on a particular partner it causes me to question more. Saying “trust me” is a wrong answer. Heck saying “I thought this partnership was the best thing for Feathercoin and the respective coins” I can respect and accept. Though, I don’t like someone trying to hype me on something like it’s amway. I’m not mom and pop and I don’t need a slide show to talk about how great my life will be in several years. The need to make crypto invisible to the end user I get but that’s not the discussion we were having that’s deflection. I would have respected responses more if it was something like
“We are working with partnerships on many aspects in regards to crypto-coins. These partnerships have just started but as time goes on will have more interactions with websites, exchanges, and businesses. I can not really give specifics on some items right now in regards to worldcoin. Though you can join this project or that project if you want more understanding of whats going on. I hear your concerns and we are helping them as they are helping us. This partnership is still new. I know it’s not what you might want to hear right now but it’s what I can give you.”
this I can respect. Yes there is a little market speak but I’m not treated to emotional pulling about my investment in time. Also, I’m a person who can accept if someone doesn’t have an answer for me. When I invest time into something I do it for an intrinsic reward and that it’s the right thing to do. Yes I’d like an external one but I like doing things that better people around me. If I feel like I’m being used then that intrinsic value goes away and questions start to set in.
BTW, westphilly I’ve never felt like that when you’ve answered questions. So thank you.

Simply let this partnership develop - at this point nothing else makes sense - time will tell us all what it is good for.

[/quote]Thank you for the kind words. I apologize for taking so long to float over to the Feathercoin forums, but I’m excited to be here now, and look forward to helping Worldcoin and Feathercoin succeed as a team. I cannot give out details yet, but we have addressed the insanely fast proposed inflation rate from the original patch announcement. I can tell you that it won’t be nearly as steep. I won’t make the mistake of giving an exact time for this information to be officially released, but we are aiming for this upcoming week.
Thanks!
