This is disingenuous at best. Of course one can claim they tried to learn how to ride a bike but hey failed, even if they made only one short attempt. But have they really tried?
Just because it didn't work with almost no effort doesn't mean it doesn't work.
Did not work even after paying 15,000 BTC of my own money.
Facts and real world experience have disproven bounties as a way of funding anything approaching full time engineering salaries.
Stop with the lies and manipulation. Clearly it does work:
https://bt.irlbtc.com/view/697.0You fail completely at logic (and economics).
The cost of a one-time movie != on-going engineering costs
The problem space is finding a way to fund ongoing engineering and testing. One time bursts of funds are not predictable nor sustainable. Try finding an example
relevant to the problem. (hint: you can't)
A rational economic actor prefers a stable, predictable income stream.
See people? What he is admitting here is that my suggestion works, admitting he was disingenuous at best earlier, it's just that he doesn't like it because he knows it is possible to be done in manner that makes it easier for him and he is prepared to do anything if it means it's going to be easier for him.
He isn't happy that the community could choose what to fund in a one time type of burst of funding, no he wants a guaranteed continues funding no matter what it is he wants to do because that's what he prefers. No he doesn't want others to compete with him for the bounties, he wants him to be the one who gets that guaranteed continues funding because that's what he prefers.
I'm done responding to him, because a man will never understand what him getting his paycheck prevents him from understanding. And boy does Jeff want his untaxed continuously guaranteed paycheck.
