I spoke to Garrett about taking an active role in Cog's operations. Although I'm not geographically close to the hardware (Ohio) I'd be willing to take administrative duties such as maintaining the website, updating hashrate, informing shareholders etc. I also have an office space with free electricity (per lease agreement) if shareholders decide it prudent to decentralize the location of the hardware.
I'd like to organize a conference call, skype meeting, etc. to discuss the issues of COG in a medium that may be more beneficial than Bitcointalk (with the consent of Garrett, of course). This way we may be able to clear the air and come up with a plan of action for COG moving forward.
I have experience in executive positions and have previously grown the Bitcoin MeetUp in Cincinnati, OH from zero to nearly 40 members in a matter of six months.
I think this conference call would be highly beneficial, and a necessary step in moving forward. I'll send out an email to shareholders shortly inviting everyone to participate in a conference call. I am certainly open to the decentralization of everything, which includes our hardware of course.
Best,
Garrett
