Shannon's Journal Discussion Thread, Vol. 5

Indeed.  3.3.2.  I was originally going to make 3.3.3, but we have had too much change since to call this a minor upgrade.  Thus, 3.4.

I had no idea how challenging it would be to achieve this goal when I made that decision.  Otherwise I'd have given a specific number of free upgrades.

Just to add some context here:

-To be fair, DMSI/AOSI/DAOSI pushed 6G technology to creation, which was a primary motivator of it's creation, along side actually working as a sub, of course. So that's a big benefit to it's continued advance.

-You've sold a lot of programs along the way, monetising said technology.

-It's been in creation for 5 years now, in June. With extremely large gaps in time in between versions, while people try to patiently wait for the program they paid for upwards of 5 years ago. I can't think of many customers who'd pay for something, wait 5 years to get it working, continue to support said business with a smile on their face in the mean time with a lot of doubt and worry and a great deal of delay around said product. All while being told they should be grateful and how it's a hardship to deliver on said thing. So, we're doing our part and then some I'd say. Hopefully, someday it will be a fully working program. I really deeply wish it is made and can work at last.

-I campaigned twice for paid updates for the sub, to get movement going on the sub when there's been stagnation on it, so there's been offers there to monetise it. You didn't want to take it because of lack of technology at the time you said, but the offer's been there to not make it "working for free". Even though it isn't "working for free", because we've already paid for it, in many cases multiple years ago now, and the sub still doesn't work yet. And again, it's helped develop technology that's been used in countless paid programs for more money as well. But, we've had that argument a few times already, lmao.

-So, it's taken forever. But it's given you a lot of benefits along the way, helping to pave the way for the future of products for IML with 6G technology as it was envisioned to do. I hope we get a fully working DMSI in line with it's design goal and not watered down at all to make it "work" someday. I've backed the program from day one. I am a firm supporter of it, and deeply hope it will be made at last to fulfill it's design goal that was theorised 5 years ago.

It can completely change my life. There's only 1 product that can do more for me possibly, but that's a ways off it seems for now anyway. So that one is for another time. I think it's clear to you though, I spoke of it in the past.

Didn't mean to appear triggered LOL, I am not starting any argument, it's just that any perceived marginalising of DMSI or the history behind it brings this out. Because I know and respect the power it has to transform lives, if it works someday. If I didn't deeply care about the program, then I wouldn't bother. So it comes from a good place, haha . It's why I supported DMSI (then AOSI)...and you...from day one for it. I deeply look forward to the day we have a fully working DMSI/AOSI.

All the best. So glad for you, but not surprised at all, that OF V3 is a hot seller. Kudos, Shannon!

When I publish v3.4, it will be the best I can make at that time, because quite frankly, I don't want to build it again.  I tried so hard for so long that I am well and truly burned out on it.  I want to be done with it and not have that obligation - which I took on voluntarily - over my head anymore.  I don't want to spend more time on it.  In the last several years I have gotten stuck in an endless loop of rebuilding the same thing over and ove as the technology developedr.  In the case of DMSI and a couple others, that was to make it do what it was designed to do.  But it gets old.  I'm tired of it.  And now that I have what I believe to be a game plan that will work and the technology that will enable it, I'm going to build 3.4 and be done with it.  

This whole thing has taught me a lot.  Including, don't assume things, set definite limits.  At this point, we will achieve 6G regardless of what happens with DMSI.  The main reason I stopped working on it was that without building the proper keystone, nothing else would matter.  And that keystone was fear removal.  Which I have spent the last 3 years working on specifically, focusing on that instead of DMSI.  Now that we have FRM 5.0 along with 5.75.7G, I am confident that we have what we need to make DMSI work.  Regardless, 3.4 has to be the end of the road on free upgrade because I quite simply can't build subs fast enough to do that sort of thing anymore.  Time is money and money pays the bills.

Every time I have built DMSI it has been to the absolute best of my ability and knowledge at that time.  I don't ever try to build it less than 100% so I can get people to buy it again.  If there is a 4.x in the future, it will have to mean that something has advanced enough beyond 3.4 to make it worth the effort to rebuild.  If 3.4 works as designed and intended, giving it to all you guys who already bought a copy isn't going to lose me money, because I can raise the price and advertise it more and have millions or even billions of other customers for it.  Right now I only have thousands of customers.  

So between 5.75.7G, FRM 5.0 and the outward facing FRM, the upgrade of the skeleton script, the addition of DRM, plus the adjustment of the goal focus, the optimizing of the energy usage and the limitation of sniping to the best options instead of everyone, I think we're going to be pretty much done.  And thank goodness for that.
