Im merely referring to the various end goals ascribed to bitcoin (replacing fiat in the short term for a currency revolution for example) that are often idealistic.

However you are skirting the question by just saying “since you think others are idealistic you are idealistic’ which isnt really meaningful in any logical fashion.

Yeah. Its a crypto library. Not a direct bitcoin competitor. They are synergistic. You wave it away like its some dime a dozen competitor.

#What is Open-Transactions?
#Open-Transactions is an easy-to-use, financial crypto, digital cash and transaction library.

it is from about page, seems like it is you who do not read it.

#how exactly?

if you see in others that they are having some “idealistic dreams” and they have not, then it is you who are having “idealistic dreams”

Considering that OT really isnt another crypto I dont know what it is that you read.

I did not declare Bitcoin dead. I said that it lacks the capacity to live up to the idealistic dreams often ascribed to it.

I really have no reason to believe that you read anything but the vulnerabilities link and youre trying to back track.

>with same success I can make assumption that you are having idealistic dreams about OT

how exactly?

I read your article completely, as well OT about and vulnerability page. sure there is some development, but it just look like another crypto, with raw code and which may even never take off. I’ve been with bitcoins since 2011 and all that time I see somebody bashing bitcoins and declaring it dead. I do not have idealistic dreams about bitcoins either, with same success I can make assumption that you are having idealistic dreams about OT and at least I even have a reason to think that way.

@Kgaard yeah. It really isnt that good of a piece of writing.

you should probably read the whole thing instead of just skimming along and assuming that OT is a direct competitor to bitcoin and trying to make an edgy comeback.

>Well, how it can be so, if bitcoins does not have any of those grave vulnerabilities

they arent

a. that grave

b. and bitcoin has a host of separate problems elaborated above

c. that vulnerability page is just a token for intellectual honesty. Nothing is perfect. However some things are less problematic than others.

> And most of opentransactionss futures already implemented in bitcoins.

bro. You didnt even read this. If you had and knew what bitcoin did and what OT did you would recognize that most of bitcoins actual capacities and ‘futures’ are not along the same lines as OT except in idealistic dreams.

“Since I am not utopian I do admit that there are possible problems with it:

http://opentransactions.org/wiki/index.php/Vulnerabilities

However they are not at all the same type of issues affecting bitcoin and offers a method for competing currencies so that we arent stuck with the dichotomy of bitcoin vs fiat.”

what you saying is that for some reason (pardon, it is hard to comprehend for me) open transactions is better then btcoins. Well, how it can be so, if bitcoins does not have any of those grave vulnerabilities. And most of opentransactionss futures already implemented in bitcoins.
