Tax: While it is true that the ZEC dev reward is not a true tax, because I opted into the ZEC system, I will still refer to it as a tax because myself and the majority of token holders have almost 0 say on how it is spent. The mechanisms for vetoing funds in the dev fund are extremely weak and the spend feels coercive to most token holders who see spending on many things that do not produce results. I will continue referring to it as a tax until we fix this.
Feelings: I generally do not accept that your feelings are my responsibility. You have a choice in the matter in what you do about your feelings that I have zero control over. I aim to speak for either truth and accuracy or my opinion (my truth) in an unfiltered way. I will not be censoring myself to spare people their feelings when representing the spending of other people’s money.
Hackathon project: yes my first comment on your thread I referred to your product as having the quality of a weekend hackathon project:
My comment was directed at, as I hope I made clear later, the end user Zingo Wallets.
When I read the proposal I was not able to decipher what pepper-sync was, and appeared to me as a request for the development of the Zingo wallets.
Later you realized I did not have any context on pepper-sync and improved your proposal for pepper-sync itself in the thread. I don’t have enough information to fully judge the quality of pepper-sync.
I stand by my comment on the quality of the wallets as a product as at the level of a weekend hackathon project. Namely the UX and UI of zingo-pc which I have had the most experience with.
