Yet another piece of evidence that shows Andresen's poor character / integrity. I found the PDF you used above and confirmed it did NOT give credit to BitShares, Cryptonomex or Daniel Larimer. It is a clear case of Andresen trying to hijack the Graphene name and take advantage of it without even mentioning BitShares Graphene technology. Cryptonomex didn't trade mark or otherwise protect the name from such despicable attempts to hijack that name for use within blockchain projects, so nothing illegal was done here to the best of my knowledge.
Although the word 'graphene' wasn't invented for use in computer science or blockchain projects, it was not used to claim another's work in any way, unlike Andresen. Larimer's use of the word Graphene to describe his blockchain design was a first in the digital currency space. The "violation" if you can call it that is the total lack of credit Andresen provides to Larimer, and the obvious hijacking of the term in an effort to rewrite history.
However, to claim Graphene as the title for his work without regard to its' use in BitShares reflects very badly on him and the College of Information and Computer Sciences, UMass Amherst IMO that didn't even do the most basic research that would show this conflict.
Very true. The Bitcoin community is pretty much the USSA of blockchain/crypto-sphere. They are entitled and act like they are better than everyone despite being a mediocre coin compared to the competition. Just admitting that a small market cap coin has some really great technology would hurt a lot of pompous egos. Since Bitcoin is known by almost everybody they might be thinking that they are doing Bitshares a service by using Graphene as it gives more exposure to this great technology.
There is no point in sticking around a project that has completely given up on being P2P digital currency. Plus who needs Lightning network with the block time of Bitshares or InstantSend of Dash and PIVX. I really want to see Amazon accept BTC. The fees would skyrocket and confirmations will take weeks. Then we could show the world what real cryptocurrencies can do.
bitcoin foundation is not the same as bitcoin core through
Yes. But they both show similar negative qualities.
Can't agree more!
uh buy. lets hope bitcoin somehow survives all the bs and become what it's supposed to be. its human who claim it theirs, that create these disruptions. so the community has to defeat the power of the few. even here i guess?!
Always a good idea to cite sources so people can see the lineage of knowledge creation. To just pull it out of the Ether or mining pool or whatever is unfair. Dan Larimer whether people like him or not, has contributed more to the blockchain space technically than anyone not named Satoshi Nakamoto. This is not even debatable, as you can just look at Github, Bitcointalk, Bitsharestalk, etc.
Surprising to see this from Gavin as Gavin I thought carried himself with integrity.
This is an unuseful coin...
Is it possible he has not heard of Bitshares Graphene? I am sure he has heard of bitshares, but if he has no interest in bitshares he would probably know nothing about graphene since graphene isn't in the name.
Hello & Cheers!! I'm a content detection and information bot. You are receiving this reply because a short link or links have been detected in your post/comment. The purpose of this message is to inform your readers and yourself about the use of and dangers of short links.
To the readers of the post: Short links are provided by url shortening services. The short links they provide can be useful in some cases. Generally their use is benign. But as with all useful tools there are dangers. Short links can be used to hide all sorts of things. Quite frequently they are used to hide referral links for instance. While not dangerous this can be deceptive. They can also be used to hide dangerous links such as links to phishing sites, sites loaded with malware, scam sites, etc. You should always be extremely cautious before clicking on one. If you don't know and trust the poster don't click. Even if you do you should still be cautious and wary of any site you are sent to. It's always better to visit the site directly and not through a short link.
To the author of the post: While short links may be useful on some sites they are not needed on steemit. You can use markdown to format your links such as this link to steemit. It's as simple as
[steemit](https://steemit.com)Unlike short links this allows the reader to see where they are going by simply hovering over the link before they click on it.
