Hey, where has Dr. David Tannenbaum disappeared? Huh

Yes, it does appear on the website as though Dr. Dave is gone, and Dr. Naveed has moved up to onto the "active" row.

I would be surprised if there is not very rapid mutation of business planning at CoinTerra, just as there evidently has been at HashFast (or FastHash; I'll never be able to really know which way it is).

It just isn't the pre-order slam dunk market of the spring any more.

Dr David likes his privacy, so his name has been removed from the website.

I'm going to just preserve this here for future reference, so people won't need to dig through some archives or caches.
