>Things I have done for Aeternity
If this really was implemented entirely by one person, they have no moat.
>Instead the anonymous owner of Aeternity is deciding how the money is spent.
Yeah, that's how capitalism works. The person with the capital owns you. And now, I look into my crystal ball... I see the anonymous owner is going to sue you for running off with his intellectual property and starting a competitor with it.
Never heard of Aeternity, but this isn't going to end well for the author.
- humanrebar 9y agoAlso: "If Aeternity is going to use the technology invented, and they wont pay me to make their software secure, then my only way to get paid is by selling zero-day exploits for people who want to attack Aeternity."
- giancarlostoro 9y agoShould of never written that one sentence, that is at the very least a plain as day admission and now he will hold any blame for any exploits used against Aeternity, whether involved or not.
- hasenj 9y agoSeems like author is in a completely different part of earth where that court system will not affect him.
- giancarlostoro 9y agoWhile that is true, it is also alarming that he would have to relocate completely over this whole matter. Curious where in the world your own words involving Computer Misused (or similar law) being admitted are not legally binding, especially considering the implications.
- pmorici 9y agoThe irony. He rants about the unethical behavior of his associates and then clearly states that he will himself engage in unethical behavior. The only thing this rant proves is that the ICO space is over run by ethically challenged scammers much like the Bitcoin ASIC space was 3 years ago.
- anovikov 9y agoWell... isn't that is whole thing about it? I mean, ICO is a vehicle for scams, just another way to nicely package a Ponzi scheme? This is why they exist.
- em3rgent0rdr 9y agoIt may be ironic, however it's not unethical to engage in unethical behavior specifically against unethical actors.
- krirken 9y ago> it's not unethical to engage in unethical behavior OK.
- humanrebar 9y agoDepends on your ethics. In mine that is absolutely unethical.
- flukus 9y agoI agree. Doesn't mean I wouldn't engage in that unethical behavior though, I just wouldn't try to justify it as ethical.
- angersock 9y agoSounds like they broke, or tried to break, his leg. Seems reasonable to me to want to fight back.

- sk5t 9y agoIt seems as if the author might possibly own the IP here, having not been paid, nor contracted away copyright and other interests AFAICT.

- mhluongo 9y agoIf they did a token sale and already have $77M from it in the bank... there will be very little need for a moat. Many of these teams are out to get a quick buck with little accountability.
