I second that. Vlad is supporting his friend Greg and hoping to add R-chain to the Ethereum ecosystem. We don't need Greg for that. If Synereo determines that the way forward is to extend and embrace Ethereum, we can enlist directly the help of the Ethereum foundation and pay them to create for us a custom fork. Or we could ask Consensys or Eris or EtherCamp or just hire goddamn Gavin Wood and pay him whatever he asks. With the ludicrous USD 2M+ that Greg is asking, we have an embarrassing choice of options all cheaper, better, and more professional than Greg. I don't even understand why Greg's name is still even being talked about.
