the big idea over there is also very ambitious also futuristic and not related exactly but somehow complementary (philosophically)

I wonder what all the normies working for punk would think if they knew he was only half paying attention to that business and building something much cooler here
pretty big. like not FT500 big. in US-terms "mid-market" aka 9 figure top line but quite complex

its not a 9-5. he runs another huge company
does not need our dev team
no staff overlap. other one is x,xxx employees :)

what industry is your other company in? are you allowed to share high level details? and how do you operate the other while doing this? do the devs work on both?
dunno, benefit i can explain thing. downside: it gets long

like insight into your thought process and how this materalized in your mind
so i gave him the silent treatment for a few weeks to express my displeasure :)
so I was just annoyed process-wise like oh come on, if you wanted to do this, you should have come to me first
etc etc
you can't really charge for it
bc it has no moat
was going to be some type of exciting or valuable business
i never thought "putting a delegation on-chain"
it was one of those funny situation where i did not care at all about the substance of the matter but the principle of it
oh it does not matter at all
i had to go then write it anyway
which is why despite all of this
he only did half of them
i wrote all the specs
no you don't understand

like im sure we agree there is something to the. notion of 'its the execution not the idea' but that is a crazy way to treat someone lol
no we will not have the blockchain running by Monday :)

are you aiming to have the blockchain ready before decentralized curation?
i was pissed at him for a few weeks because he was like "I have raised from VCs but I can make some room in the cap table for you"
and I was like you have got to be kidding, this is my fucking idea, what do you mean 'you can make room for me"

lmao
once blockchain is ready though we switch
yes that is the idea - we run some decision-making here on the web side (decentralized decision-making, centralized backend) while we keep working on the blockchain

Maybe I’m thinking about it wrong, but it seems like the decision making could be run on Brain now, but with centralized points. We did small experiments, next with Meme curation, and so on For more complex/important decisio making.
Prenode to core to blockchain seem like a parallel path on increased decentralization
you can't run your whole network state on discord
if you want to go end to end decentralized
OTHER THAN
there is no value-add per se
oh 100%
and it will be ITS FINAL FORM I think
within the protocol
and now we will do v3 of it
it just needed to exist
but really it was not my life dream to do nftdelegation
so then we had to do nftdelegation
and I was like oh come on if you are going to do that at least do all the specs lol
he implemented half of them and then announced tome that he raised money for this as a business
i wrote the specs
he jumped into TG group
then on my 3rd one I said "anyone want to solve it with me"
i did 2-3 threads on it

yeah, I wondered why he did that tbh. never made sense to me but useful
just a utility idea
it was just an idea that needed to exist
and so we built it and foobar went and ran away with the idea and built his own / company / etc but it was silly bc delegation as such was never a viable business idea
but "some other people with expensive NFTs who did not want to connect their wallets"
and like the next people who needed were not "bob who does not know what BTC is"
that delegation was needed
i realized +/- 1 year before anyone else
the whole thing with delegation is a minor but relevant example
i tend to have "problems" like 1-10 years before I dunno advanced crypto users and crypto VCs realize they have the same problem
that is not my competitive advantage
