Ok, but do let us know if you find him and let him know we wish him well!

Well there's a raft of wild assumptions if ever there was!

What makes you certain and sure that he 1) sold 2) left and 3) doesn't want to be contacted?

The guy sold and left and does not want to be contacted. Why can't you guys get that? If he wanted to say hello here he probably would.

Love this coin!!! Great energy here except for DASHER , ice breaker, and the other dude adam

 No way!! Tante, nice one!!

EVERYONE, PLEASE!!  DO NOT CONTACT HIM !!!!
 IT MAY VERY WELL SCARE HIM OFF IF HE GETS A SUDDEN MSG BOMB !!! LETS DO THIS PROPERLY PLEASE AND USE THE PROPER CHANNELS!!
NOT CRACKBOOK !!


 We have no clue what actually happened. He could have gone to jail for a year for doing crypto stuff, who knows? Lets use the proper channels for this, please!!

In other words these coins used for a masternode are vulnerable to being stolen.  They cannot be placed in a cold wallet for safe keeping.

 Holy moly! It actually does seem it's him! I see Xcoin and p2pool-drk repos in there.
Recent activity from May onwards too... coincidence? question is, account taken over, or "our" chaeplin ?
 Git nerds, please unite. I just need something written by him in plain english and I think I'd be able to tell

 How can one contact someone through the hub? We must let him know there is much love for him around these parts, at least a word from him would be nice.

I doubt he vanished on purpose.  Lots of people die every day.  Car accidents, illness, etc... It's gut wrenching to lose someone like that.  And I honestly hope he disappeared for some other reason (like he was obsessed and his wife told him to stop or else).  'cause he just was too awesome for the world to lose!

That used to be his github profile. Anyway. The sigpic has been changed, though. But some followers persist still :/

 Talking about the milk carton thing, touched a wound of mine... I really got pissed off he just vanished  

If only it were!  Wouldn't that be nice?  But somehow the puppy doesn't feel right?  Maybe his daughter?  It's certainly a clue, can we contact that person through git?

I don't think any of us think it's a humorous subject.  I think we were expressing our loss, and wish that he'd come back.  I must say that I'm kind of glad to hear he was from SK, as that is a fine country to live in, but I fear that probably means he is probably gone.  He seems too young in that picture to die, but?  Of course I hope I'm wrong, but I also don't think he'd just disappear like that otherwise.  Friends and family have no way to know how to log into forums to let friends know what happened, so.  Well, like I said, I hope he comes back again some day.

This seems current. Is it "our" chaeplin? https://github.com/chaeplin

 chaeplin, El Presidente, was (is) from South Korea, so I don't think his sudden disappearance is such a humorous subject.
 
He was highly motivated and contributed a ton and a half to development. I doubt he disappeared into thin air by his own will, and I really suspect that May login.

 He was a top contributer to Darkcoin, possibly the biggest one to date, in proportion to devs and code written at the time. Despite his sometimes hard to follow english, his tutorials were what made me learn linux, grasp the Masternode concept, and not be scared to give it a shot.

 Before Elberethzone's dashninja.pl, his website was the only way, and true blessing, to monitor the network. His work was nothing short of amazing.

 He was also a wonderful person on a 1-to-1 basis.

 I owe this man quite a lot, and I really hope all is well with him.

Hilarious Mangled Blue!

But unfortunately whatever's happened to him might not be so funny.

Interestingly his last post was (as you've noted) a year ago on 18/Oct/2014. But his last sign-on here on BCT was in May of this year.

I like to go with captured because it's less permanent, and slightly more romantic to think he's still fighting the good fight.  Thanks for putting him on the milk carton, maybe it'll help locate him 

Good points, didn't even think of that!

Well I just thought I would contribute since I have a slightly more practical position in this kind of thing.  In my case I am more interested in knowing if a project manager is going to fund the expenses he has without selling the Dash in exchanges, something like Shapeshift still means selling it in exchanges. That is the key for me at this stage, if someone is going to pay for all of their server expenses with their own FIAT and is just looking keep the Dash then that is the key for me, as that project manager is for all intents and purposes providing the OTC liquidity for his own project.

That is for example a requirement for any official spending we have done so far, not a single coin sold in an exchange is our goal.

Having said this, this is just a priority for me at this point in time, as the system grows and there is more liquidity then that wont matter as much. But we cant forget that the network just gives us tokens and the ecosystem is not mature enough to just support direct spending of Dash without us being careful about it.

The good news is that we can take on a project of any size as long as we can also find an sponsor that is willing to support it and keep the Dash for himself to run nodes and pay for the expenses. That is the whole reason behind our OTC program, and if a 3rd party service that is really important for Dash offers that type of reassurance I would be more inclined to support it. Just my personal view.

That's the problem, it should be! No free lunch. If you start to subsidize one player it gets an unfair competitive advantage, MN operators will move to that service (lower costs) -> centralization  -> concentration of power. Just like the government...

I agree with you on this one.  I finally ended up signing up for Dashwhale so I could post, but I was irritated that they wanted an email.  It would actually be best to just have people "sign up" with an alias and that's it.  After all, the world currency that Dash is, should allow anyone to speak up on the forum.  I'd also like to see the forum decentralized, so that it can continue on even if DashWhale went out of existence, so that anyone that is willing to put it on their website, can, and the information stays updated and no matter what site you use to participate through, all websites dish out the same posts seamlessly.

That way it can feel like a centralized hub, but actually be completely decentralized forum.
