New topics for 2020

[hartiberlin]

Hi all, user Ramset called me and proposed with user EmJunkie to get a new category and board going.
I just did set this up over here.
This will be a board mostly for builders and the vetting process to finance and verify the hardware builds.
Let´s just start by brainstorming here .
Many thanks.Great new ideas welcome !

Hey hartiberlin

This will be a board mostly for builders and the vetting process to finance and verify the hardware builds.
Let´s just start by brainstorming here .

It's about time in my opinion...

We all have our differences and our opinions yet there is one truth which remains. The inventors who have spent decades developing and researching real FE technologies are continually being hijacked and gaslighted by corporate interests. They are everywhere including this forum and until such time as we have a proven process to vet or verify who has what and why then act on it we will forever be behind the technology curve.

In effect there are more forces designed to ensure we fail than there are to move us forward. This forum could be that place so long as there are checks and balances in place and due diligence. What many do not understand is timelines... the right place, the right time, the right concept and the right people. Do this and there is no stopping FE however I and most other inventors I know have no interests in half baked non-solutions.

As such the first step is a plan, a bullet proof plan... any suggestions?.

Hi Stefan,


I like this idea very much.  I have one suggestion.  I am not sure how this could be implemented but I think anytime a builder starts a thread about what he or she is working on they should be given moderator status for that thread.  I have seen so many threads derailed by nitpickers and naysayers that the builder just gives up and goes away.  If a builder knows he is going to have some control over the thread he is starting then I think most builders would be more likely to want to share what they are working on.


I don't know if the forum software could be adapted for this section so a thread starter is automatically the moderator or if you would need to appoint someone you trust with the ability to give the thread starters moderator privileges.


Respectfully,

This is a wonderful idea right out of the gate. So many peeps have been driven off and ridiculed  to the point of never sharing anything more. In fact they have refused flatly any more contact. I dread the day that I have to share a breakthrough. I am not one to handle direct attacks well.

I just got through checking into Scientific Linux to see what the new release was all about. It was created by Fermi Labs as a tool for them to log and communicate their findings with. I was appalled to see that it was made mandatory that the machine it ran on was considered a "federal computer" and so it was and all on it could be viewed and copied by the gov. Wanted to try and set up a regulated place to share findings and convey any disagreements in a fashion that was conducive to seeking out the truth. That was a big loss for all of us.


The constant attacks that have been the norm can not bring on positive directions in whatever topic being discussed. When I see 5 peeps ganging up on one person, it distracts from moving forward.


One other point I would like to foster, if someone is going to replicate a design, follow the design and not just throw together a build with what is at hand. You are just sealing your failure before you start. So many builds have nothing in common with the original.

Thanks Stefan and thanks for keeping this running for so many years. I think the main problem builders run into on this and other forums are simply communication issues. I think most of us that work on these things tend to be passionate about it. Let's face it you have to be. That boils over pretty easily sometimes . Staying on topic in the thread, sticking to the data and not prejudging are critical. Having a voice or vid chat with someone can very quickly clear up a lot of issues or misconceptions between people.


It looks like the next "oil war" has been delayed so hopefully there will be less harrassment that Onepower referred to.
