OK, so here is the deal:For the last 2 months or more, the narrative has been to have me removed. So, lets go ahead and act on this desire with a compromise.
I will step back and work with Borz again more directly as we did all along and some other roles OTHER THAN marketing. We will leave the marketing to you.
This is a trial. My biggest fear all along is that allowing others to take over will hurt our project. However, no matter what I say or do, I am being attacked and therefore the only healthy solution is to let the trolls and their supporters step up to the plate and GIT'ER DONE!!
You guys have 2 months to prove yourselves and we will re-evaluate and go from there. Do a good job and meet the Founders expectations and we will create some new goals for you to achieve and so on as we progress...
You have until September 20th, 2017 and here are your targets:
3000 Slack Members
200 Forum Pages
XBY Price to 7000 Satoshis (should be no problem for you marketing gurus with tech coming)
If you do not meet these targets, you will agree to all stop this narrative and let me continue to do my work.
These are not unreasonable numbers and I do not want to hear any complaints. Just do the job you have been fighting for... You have all had the biggest balls I have ever seen and so now lets see if you have something to go along with them
I will even cheer you on because the ONLY thing I really want here is for our project to succeed.
Regarding the roles of Borzalom and myself as Founders. We will ALWAYS maintain VETO power to prevent destructive actions and if I EVER want to make a statement of any kind, I absolutely will NEVER bring this to the board, ever. That was a big mistake to agree to this in the first place. We did not reach these heights with me being bridled and it will never happen.
So, again... here is your chance boys!!
Don't screw this up because you will look like a bunch of idiots for destroying what could have easily been a rock solid community of 3000 by Sept 20th, 2017 had you left me alone and let me reach the targets I have given you above.
Here are the rules:Continue working as you have, run your own board, we will not even vote. But we will stop anything that is not allowed to happen which I trust my board to not cross any lines anyway so this will not likely even have to occur.
To our community, for anyone upset with my actions, I apologize. This has not been an easy time since Feb 18th and I know that I have the support of the majority of the community. But, lets just give these guys a chance and if they do a good job, we all win and if they screw up, we will get everything sorted later.
As Borzalom always says... its OK... this is a long term project. Family is always first.
God Bless you all
I will be around and very active at various times and I will be releasing all the news updates from Borz, as usual, moving forward.
Thank you for your understanding and patience as we try to find our way.
Dave and Borzalom
Hi Dave,
That's a great plan, although I would ask if the targets set are really necessary? Perhaps just to see if things improve generally and take a new more positive shape will be the water mark here?
Great to hear you and Borz will remain founders and in total control passing the tech to the board.
I think that works!
Just not sure with the price targets and all being a bit pie in the sky with Bitcoin acting as it is.
Dave,
I might also add we don't need to lose you in a marketing role - its the presentation side the board should be focusing on.
Lets not forget it was your marketing skills that brought Posign, static nodes, pulses and the name Xtrabytes from XBY.
I would like to see you brainstorming this and continuing this crucial work that has generated so much interest, while Borz does the coding. You will both be the heartbeat of this coin and that shouldn't change.
All I want to see from the board is them taking Borz's tech and your packaged ideas for the tech, and doing the presentation on YouTube video's, finishing the website, troll patrolling Bitcointalk and the slack, and generally speaking to people from the outside to give them the rundown on XBY.
All in all that's less weight on your shoulders anyway so you can focus on core marketing with Borz's code, then presenting it to the board for their final showcase to the community.
It's a shame you're not going to be speaking on the official channel for a while as you have a clear voice, so I don't like to see that talent wasted. Perhaps after things calm down and everyone is doing their own job happily, you might make a reappearance in that role down the line? (minus some of the personal issues - and keeping it strictly XBY)?
I see a positive vibe in slack already since your statement. You seem to have the power to do this, so I hope it continues.
