If you read the FFS, it states that he will pay the other half needed with globee

Ah, shoot, thanks, missed that part. Still seems sort of "conflict-of -interesty", but then again, there are not a lot of rules here that matter anymore it seems... Tongue

I dont understand why. Everyone is free to build services that use Monero. It will not be fluffyponys first. He started Monerodice and MyMonero before Globee.

Is being the "face of Monero" a responsibility he asked for, or is it one you're assigning to him?

Inadvertently by his own posts and shenanigans, yes, he is currently the only "Face of monero" that I know of? & as the lead dev, should he not be? Roll Eyes

Edit - Do you see anyone else giving presentations on Monero to blockchain conferences? Point made, thank you. ... Wink

Actually if you read last developers meting notes https://monerobase.com/wiki/DevMeeting_2017-09-17 you can see that luigi has stepped up to become Monero main maintainer.

"Luigi1111 is moving from "backup maintainer" to "Lead Maintainer" on both the GUI and the Site. FluffyPony will move to backup maintainer on both."

" surae: yes, we're appointing luigi1111 as CTO (Chief Trolling Officer), whilst I focus on my role as CEO (Chief Entertainment Officer)"

I have never been so bullish on XMR like now.

Look at the reddit community, we have nearly 26k subscribers, 2500 online sometimes. Growing so fast.
Future technological upgrades and research from Monero lab are simply huge: I2P Kovri, Multisig, Lightwallets, RuffCT, maybe Zidechains and pruning
Real world integration with Fluffyponies FFS into market places which will present XMR to millions of users

Gentlemen, Monero is a highly active, undervalued project.
Add the decreasing emission to this and we will see prices around 500 USD not very far from now.

Emission schedule is curving sharply this year: http://imgur.com/a/De0G2
