Heh.. Yes, probably is now.
I dont know if the founders started out to make a Ponzi, but once the dollars started rolling in, I can imagine, they probably got "different ideas".
Who am I to judge, but if I was a founder of this, I would be driving my Ferrari in Thailand instead of slaving away trying to build some stupid file system. Who the hell cares about file systems :P

- thinkloop 9y agoDriving ferraris gets old, I'd much prefer to be inventing decentralized file storage.
- mads 9y agoI agree, but those cars and the attention is just so tempting. And then in Thailand. Imagine kite surfing, drinks, anything you want for small cash. Hell, you could even contract someone to write that damn file system people are whining about.
- aij 9y agoDriving Ferraris... vs. Writing distributed file systems... One of these sounds much more fun than the other. Hint: It is not driving Ferraris. ;)
- mads 9y agoIn the long run, I think driving Ferraris would get old much quicker than writing file systems, so yes, I tend to agreee, but in the short run, I doubt it.. Hell, park a Ferrari in my drive way and I would abandon my customers here for at least 3 days.. :D ... But thats just me..
