Important: I've also devised a way that some can *invest* in this hardfork, now, before the fork-date, in August:
- Satoshi has 1.1M coins in the so called "patoshi" pattern.
- We will be manually reassigning some of these coins (fewer than half) to investors today.
This will no doubt be a controversial decision. But I think it is necessary, and in fact, ideal:
- The pure fork, is a problem, because it leaves collaborators with no way to "get involved" ahead of time.
- This leaves the fork a "zombie project" -- until it launches.
- Thus, it is harder to ship the fork as a "finished project" -- with all of the work completed in advance.
- Ironically, that would centralize the project, and encourage dev-capture.
To avoid seedy grifter-style investment-promotion activities, I mostly do not mention this. But it is possible, for high-quality investors (ie, accreditted ).
Plus, it must be disclosed, for full transparency.
