I wasn't at the conference.  But, from what I've heard, Jared gave a great presentation on the role of public and private blockchains, and how DigiByte works to provide solutions and services.  Those are the facts.  And the facts don't have anything to do with hype or marketing.

Congratulations Jared.  It's great to have an active developer who contributes to the larger perspectives and approaches that shape how consumers and companies adopt digital currencies. 

I think it's a testament to Jared's professional management and development that he is not trying to hype up his contribution for personal gain.  It would be tacky and unprofessional if he were at the conference trying to pump up the exchange value of DGB.

The conference was March 3 and 4.  I just got home from work on Friday, but as I write it is 2:00 a.m. in Johannesburg.  So, the meetings wrapped up the the second and final day.  People went to dinner, then they went out to have a few drinks to celebrate.  I hope Jared went out on the town and had a great night to celebrate a great conference.  If I were going to the conference I would have extended the trip through the weekend to have some time to see the sights for a couple of days.

It's amazing that people are upset that he didn't run back to the hotel room to get onto to babysitTalk to help you clear your open orders on poloniex.  It's not his job to help you profit from trading.  He's doing a great job contributing, building services, developing, and defining a professional standard for digital currency applications.  It should make us all proud to have him as a developer of DGB.

Congratulations to you again Jared.  Hope you have a great trip.
