If the community want's to take more ownership of EMC2 I am all for it.
To answer some questions though. The coin was not developed on contract, on the contrary it is quite the opposite. It was more or less done in the developers own time, with his own resources with his own idea/vision. It was never a contract effort. Some people joined shortly after it was developed and released, myself included. But it primarily started with the Dev who is still around, and a few people who helped him out. So please, it's best not to speculate on it's creation, and those involved. Some of us, put a great deal of time, effort, and money into this, myself included, with no financial gain, including the dev.
If you do want to reach the developer, which I highly advise if you wish to proceed. With all that I would suggest contacting him at
[email protected]. If you want to do a hand off to community ownership I highly suggest you email the developer and get in touch with Ryan in terms of the restructuring. With that being said, I highly advise working with Ryan on this going forward. I think Ryan (xhumanbeing) can become more of a resource in a few weeks.
With that being said, I cannot take on such the role I did before, my personal life is becoming a bit more active in the coming months. If you want to contact me for advice, or need information, please do. I don't personally have the time or energy to be involved as I once was.
I will not be paying much attention to this thread though...that's more an FYI. Good luck going forward, and you have my support if you wish to take more ownership of Einsteinium.
The coins value was too low to make a donation. Personally I am not going to pilfer the foundation's wallet to make a donation of a few hundred dollars, or dump the coins on the market. Which would have been the case in may, as it is the case now.
To answer where the foundation coins are, they are still in the foundation wallet, and not moving from there for the time being. I no longer manage that. Whoever ends up running the organization in the future will be responsible for managing the foundation wallet, as well as future donations, or however else the community determines how the resources should be used.
