And proof that jr is alive and well, and flush with cash.
where is Jr?
Who even knows anymore. He doesn't bother to check in with the project or quell the disappointment.
JR is working every day. I am constantly on Skype calls with him (sometimes several times a day) with projects that are using Omni or are in the planning stages of a token issuance. He is active on github for spec revisions and updates, and contributes heavily at the all-hands calls every Tuesday. He has received a huge response from his email to interested projects and weve been busy speaking with these projects about how to get up and going on the platform.

Thats nice to hear, because he doesn't pop up around here anymore- especially not when people really want/need to hear from him. And that email got a lot of traction on twitter as well. Although I WOULD be curious to hear if anything positive comes from it.
That said- it seems Overstock isn't working with Counterparty anymore (

It's not explained what is going on clearly, but it seems like the Medici system won't be built on counterparty after all. This bodes badly for projects like Mastercoin as Overstock might be doing what I've suspected for awhile might happen if Bitcoin 2.0 projects don't step things up: They are probably going to fork/borrow from the open source projects what they need, and build their own proprietary system and perhaps just market that to the industry we had been expecting to service.
