I have learned alot over the past year with Mastercoin. JR your idea was brilliant. Despite the non-stop criticism your idea really was embraced by the Bitcoin community. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery after all.
I learned the importance of what happens when a whale controls too much of that monetary token. I learned what happens to a project when the inspirational leader doesn't have the time or skills to move the project forward and relies on others. I learned what happens to a project when it has a bad name. I learned what happens to a project when it shuts out it's community voices. I learned what happens to a project when there are too many cooks in the kitchen. But mostly I think I learned what happens when one fails to realize some profit when you are up, you get a bag when you're are down.
I don't want to harp on the bad things that have happened over the last year. I want to be happy that you made your money last jan when you finally decided to come on board full time and dumped large portions of shares at once causing the price to crash. I'm sure you have finally diversified out of your extremely large position. Cause why would investment money want to come back with your wife holding an insanely large amount of tokens?
I am extremely happy that the name is changing from MASTER to..... anything else. The word Master reminds me of, I don't know, slavery. Omni sounds real slick btw.
Bravo to whoever turned Robby and his development ideas down last December. Without that decision Counterparty might not be breaking new ground. I'd point to my analysis of who is the mysterious Counterparty developers on the original forum (Hint: I was right) but that forum and all the posts got destroyed. So of course lock this thread as well, who needs public support, even if it is constructive criticism.
Truly I am glad that yall finally, finally got some consensus on the protocol. Not sure why that cost about a mil but hey its only funny money right?
If there is anyone out there still reading these public comments then I hope you realize what a gem AT could possible be for
