  I understand what you are saying... I am sure there are ways to extend WordPress. Your code does not need to be PHP, there are language extensions that could provide the frameworks for your extensible model. You should investigation 'federation' models.

  My sense is that the LTB space is being run by developers and NOT driven by business objectives.

  Arguably, the objective should be to change the world... not in creating yet another a niche for the web people who happen to come across LTB website.

  You guys have the first mover advantage, and I think you are missing the mark. Maybe by pursuing VC funding these projects would move faster and gain critical mass.

  I am not being personally difficult with you and the developers there... but developers do not necessarily see where projects ideas need to go to achieve critical mass. I believe I raised questions like this a year ago approximately, so my thinking is that a year has passed with essentially no advancement of the project.

  I a big believer, in what you are doing, just not in how you are doing it. :-)

  I do not expect you to agree with this. I will drop this topic for a year. :-(

  Hmmm... markup or markdown has interpreted my words in bold. :-(((

  @maxentropy I understand what you are saying... I am sure there are ways to extend WordPress. Your code does not need to be PHP, there are language extensions that could provide the frameworks for your extensible model. You should investigation 'federation' models.

  Sure, we could build features into wordpress instead, but again I have worked with wordpress a ton and it really sucks to develop for, IMO. It's the difference between me loving my job and me hating my job haha

  Yeah, we could work in any language, it doesn't really matter. However personally I am most proficient in PHP, and that's what we have been building everything in so far, so not much sense in starting over with something else at this point (same argument goes for switching to WP)

  My sense is that the LTB space is being run by developers and NOT driven by business objectives.

  Can you clarify?

  Arguably, the objective should be to change the world... not in creating yet another a niche for the web people who happen to come across LTB website.

  so my thinking is that a year has passed with essentially no advancement of the project.

  I think your looking in the wrong places man. LTB is one website powered by the Tokenly CMS platform and other projects that we are building. The goal here specifically would be to become one of the primary media, news and community outlets for the Bitcoin and cryptocurrency ecosystem.

  Tokenly CMS is just one of the projects we are working on, with the ultimate goal of redefining monetization and user/community interaction on the web. Is that a sufficient objective?

  There has been tons of advancement over the past year, it's just not that obvious. Try checking out our stuff on github:

  Hi Crypto,

  I have experience with development, product delivery and support that has put my products into some 53 countries by way of international cellular operators. You must use building blocks to accomplish your business objectives.

  The LTB business people should be driving this, and not developers. :-)

  Again, it is difficult to communicate the significance of this statement in email and at the same minimize the implications for developer egos.

  Now I might change my opinion, if you had a funded group of developers of at least 10 in number, but I sense this is not the case. So either you must use building block technologies or find enough money to properly fund these projects.

  I am going to drop out of the conversation now.

  We are going to be doing some serious fundraising fairly soon here and hiring several people for both development and business focused positions, so stay tuned for that. Cheers

  So I know i havent been active in the forums of late, life has been getting in the way and i have been really busy with the other things i am working on, but July is looking like a good time for me to be a consistent poster again :D I have a couple new ideas @cryptonaut that I wish to share with you:

  • It would be nice if the threads had a link to the "latest comment" so i dont have to scroll to the bottom then to the last page and scroll to the bottom again
  • I just noticed that each user now has a ranking system for LTB Participation Rank & LTB Content Creation Rank. I think it would be cool to have a full list of users and their rankings so we can see the top contributors rather then clicking on their usernames

  Good ideas Robert, we're in the middle of a full platform redesign and both of these are planned.
