Congrats OgNasty, SaltySpitoon, DarkStar_, and minerjones on your prestigious positions.

Individually, I think these are all good choices for the job. Combined, however, especially minerjones doesn't seem to trust most of the other group members:

Until less than 20 hours ago, minerjones distrusted theymos (the 20 hours is based on hourly scraping of dtview)
DarkStar_ is distrusted by minerjones.
OgNasty is distrusted by minerjones.

Is this intentional, to reduce the risk of collusion?

One feature of this forum is there's no order of succession should theymos disappear. The forum's server is controlled by theymos, the forum's funds are controlled by this multisig set up and forum's domain is controlled by me. Should theymos disappear, I really have no idea who to even consider as bitcointalk.org's legitimate leader (even more so if there's widespread disagreement on the topic).

If the treasurers and forum staff are interested, we can collectively sign a contract agreeing on some sort of process to agree on a person to lead the forum should theymos disappear, and pledge to obey and follow that persons instructions in order to avoid splits or multiple organizations/sites claiming to be the real BitcoinTalk. Is that a good idea?

It's best to leave it somewhat distributed. It wouldn't be ideal, but it also wouldn't be the end of the world if the forum split into several pieces. And since political processes are ripe for corruption, I prefer to leave these things a bit vague and let all of the involved individuals figure it out to the best of their abilities.

Should I disappear, Cyrus and/or others-I've-established will take over day-to-day operations and decision-making. You and the non-profit organization would act as checks upon them and each other to ensure that the forum doesn't just turn into some business, but would continue to have a "soul".

What happens to the Bitcointalk.org domain name if Cøbra disappears?
