there could be less to gain with everything being agnostic and open source, etc.
[/quote]Define “less to gain” and who is it that’s supposed to gain?
From my point of view the fact that I can use Link without using fiat currency means, I win, you win, we all win … we’ve already won! What more do you want to “gain”?

Progress report:
The code for CoinAccount is written. Does it work? Probablly not, since I’ve not actually tried running it. I’m sure it’s full of subtle bugs that need ironing out.
But, at least in theory, it supports:
[list]
[*]Multiple currencies
[*]Pending and regular balances
[*]Incoming transactions
[*]Outgoing transactions
[*]Auditing
[/list]So, I didn’t get to Streaming API and Doge coin support, but the night is still young and progress is being made. The CoinAccount is going to make everything else soooo much easier, and I’m glad it’s finished. Hopefully you all can see the value in such a piece of technology, and will consider adopting it for your own crypto-currency projects which require accounting features.

I think one of the real brilliant aspects of Link was it’s notion that FTC users have the ability to expire their own coins and deflate their coins and increase long term value. That concept was wild to me - it literally is like a reverse velocity of money. There isn’t a single coin in the world that is set up in this way to hone deflation as a tool for growth. During the Gold Standard years of the latter 19th century and early 20th century up to the 1930s the US saw chronic deflation. This was because it was pegged to Gold. There were no bubbles and it wasn’t regime managed. Substitute Gold for Link. That has all the signs of being ‘product’ pegged to me and given the fact we won’t be causing depressions any time soon with FTC, it also sounds like a healthy ecosystem for a damn strong coin. If you can have your cake and eat it too - be a part of a transparent, anonymous ecosystem and be holding the most valuable cryptocoin out there with no imitators and the ability to eventually operate it as currency in smaller equivalencies such as mFTC - is that wrong? Doesn’t have to be a mean, ugly empire. We both want to get to the same place, we disagree on the path. I’m at the mercy of your implementation.
[/quote]We disagree fundamentally. I value coin when I use it and others hold it. I am benefiting from my own work and holders get a residual benefit. You value coin when you hold it and others use it. You are benefiting from other’s work. The problem is that in your approach there is a whole quack science about making that residual benefit the central driver. It’s backwards and it harms people who want to get on with their lives.
I don’t want to help build a system that others HAVE to use. Freedom comes from not BEING FORCED to USE anything. If that means a new cryptocoin every week, I’ll figure out ways to make them meaningful without it being necessary to depend on any one of them.

Freedom = money.
[/quote]For you perhaps. For Janis Joplin, “freedom’s just another word for nothin’ left to lose”. For me, freedom is the “money” and I’m not willing to trade my freedom for a fiat currency. I don’t like doing business with criminals, in fact, in my country doing business with criminals is illegal.
So fiat currency cannot be freedom, nor can it be “money” because it lacks the quality of being a store of value and every single fiat currency throughout history has ultimately hit zero (0). The only thing fiat currency stores is debt.
Cryptocurrency [i][b]freeze[/b][/i] each one of us from the criminal fiat currency system, allows you to give up your time (if you choose) for cryptocurrency (which will store the value of your time) and free’s you from the government controlling your “money”.

The API is finished, both REST and Streaming. I’m in the middle of writing the documentation but I don’t know if I’ll finish tonight. It’s getting late.
But soon. Promise.

[/quote]free’s us? shouldn’t that be frees us? :D
Btw I don’t like banks and fiat either, that’s why I’m here after all.Now I think there’s too many off-topic discussions here, let’s move them elsewhere and keep this about Link only.
