So KOSMOST -- if you own the Trademark -- ping me -- I'm interested in acquiring it and re-locating all services onto our cloud infrastructure.

Agreed.
And I have provided enough time for all parties to respond. It's been about 7+ days now.
Due to the current situation and need for proper leadership, all of the Karma-related assets under my control will be transferred accordingly.
As everyone knows, Karma is an open source project. Anyone is welcome to work on it and post here, whether or not anyone is subscribed to your particular implementation of the Karma concept.
But Bitcointalk should not be the extent of Karma development. I would even argue that these kinds of conversations are unproductive and not how to move Karma forward.
Putting a proper organization with professional guidance and leadership behind Karma is probably the best thing we could do right now.As I will from now be a silent Karma community member I have decided to transfer these marks and services as I see fit, to the parties that have demonstrated the most respect and vision for Karma's core values.
yes, "doing good is good" but let's not forget to 'do good' for Karma, too. There's been enough drama, infighting, and politics to write a book. Let's entrust people who are used to managing such growing pains in a more altruistic way (non-profits) to lead Karma to somewhere truly great. I personally would feel much better knowing that there is a solid organization with a history of 'doing good' things behind Karma.
I hoped that, although I have not done things perfectly, I have been altruistic enough in my work for Karma to demonstrate some of its core values. Although being punished for sacrifices of time, money, and welfare is kind of a farce, we would all do well to put all our egos in one basket and put it on the side and do what is best for Karma's future.
It is the only reasonable course of action at this time.
@TheLittleDuke - by the way, can you please identify your username on the Karma forums? - thanks
Dear Kosmost:
it has not been seven days with out doing nothing. if you want to point at something point at yourself. After you dropped the ball on us , your coming here again making sole decision for karma. it has been seven days , yes. But it has not been seven days that we been doing nothing. there has been post in here, in reddit , in the forum and in facebook. there so little we can do. but unlike you, we are trying to spread the word and find as many options as we have to choose the right candidate.
Out of this time, we have had only three people step up. Pr4mount , mroyusa and little duke. Pr4mount was first but then he told us he just got a new job and he is busy at them moment. mryusa has been a helpful and loyal to facebook community of karma. Little duke is a new member
Not sure were you get off claiming its been 7 days with no response where i personally contacted you and shared my thoughts on our options. you're always fast to point out some stuff but lack the never to talk about your short commings.
Might i remind you that you dropped the ball on us and caused some major drama. While all the services you sprout up online for all the karma community to use was welcomed , they were done as "gift" from you for us to use. In no way did you claim legal right to it and we used them because we believed they all belonged to us. It is not only you who did stuff it was also the people of this community who used them and helped them become the important part of our coin.
You can not make such decision anymore. Even now your still trying to execute sole decision on behalf of karma. be not mistaken. those decision are not on behalf of karma but they are you own decision.
yes you are in control of them now and you can do what you wish with them as we can not stop you. But if your looking to make the right decision for karma then you either shut them down or help us find the right candidate for them.
If i was able to take them over i would have done it in an instance. Unfortunately i can not. i am uncapable as they go over my head. Neither can East or Ryan at this time. We been asking left and right.
there two reddit post and a forum thread , post in here and facebook threads. No one has stepped up to take them over except for the parties i mentioned above.
It seems like you patience ran short, again , and you would give up all the karma's hard work to the person replying to you first. Question is how much is your patience worth to karma? 7 days?
LittleDuke was welcomed by me. I was happy to see his offer. But at the same time there is tons of question he need to answer to the community before i and hopefully the rest of the community agrees he a good contender. Are you that comfortable to make a decision all by yourself to hand them over to him?
He was offered to contact us and share his vision and reason why he should take them over. There is a subtle agenda in his messages. we will need to clear that out. We would require some openness from him to share with all of us what he will do once he has these services. Also we would need him to agree , that just like you, he will also be a "holder" of these services and when times comes he will need to hand them over at the community request.
the whole point of these services is to be owned and operated by the community. anyone is more then welcomed to continue this service but they will have to go through some proper screening from us and the community. Especially some one with as little karma activity as LittleDuke.
Please tell us how long is your patience worth to the community you spend months trying to help and let us decided who the right candidate is.
