So I've been talking quite a lot with Romano about his intentions and ideas for Viacoin which include recruiting more developers. He thinks it would be better for the long term prospects if I step aside from the project. Regarding ClearingHouse, I think the idea needs some extensive revision. There are technical issues with the way it is implemented that clash with short block intervals that make it problematic to operate in a stable and reliable fashion. It is still possible to operate it using the command line but the web wallet is extremely unstable. I think it would be best to leave it for the time being and give most attention to Viacoin. After careful consideration I think to agree with Romano that stepping aside would be for the best allowing for Romano to take over the project development with a clean slate. I already spend most of my available time on Bitcoin Core so making this more formal transition will be a net gain for Viacoin. I can certainly be available for technical advice and opinion.
things which are obvious that everyone should know.
this is clearly a carefully crafted exit for btcdrak. don't forget that he took your 600 BTC for the ICO.
clearinghouse is just a copy and paste of counterparty. btcdrak can't even keep it up and running and doesn't want to pay for servers so he's blaming it on the fast block times.
romano has no qualifications except bragging that he can compile things on linux and pretending he is famous for having followers. he has an over inflated ego essentially.
scambust is also obviously good friends with romano. LOLZ
