Whats new with Mastercoin?

  • Mastercoin-explorer has been down for weeks, is Tachikoma still working on this project? Amir Taaki said something about MSC devs leaving to work on Ethereum. Any truth behind this?

By the way, this is what I was referring to

That's why I asked if our devs are still working on the project. But now I have the answer.

Maran (Tachikoma) has a fantastic talent for breaking new ground and doing things which have never been done before, and although he hasn't confided in me on the topic, from public records I think it is safe to say that he has done quite well financially due to his involvement with our project, so he has more flexibility to do whatever he pleases now. I believe he's got a post prepared about what he plans to do next with Etherium, which you should see shortly.

Hopefully he'll get their scripting language all ironed out so we can steal it once it is working  Tongue


I'd also like to take this time to mention that one of the things that really made this project standout from the beginning was JR's attitude.

JR has some real class, something alot of us are lacking.

As far as I can tell he never went over to the dark side (you know, name calling and negativity). I think one of the best examples of this was Peter Todd's passion about the project at the beginning of this tread. I think it says alot to have won over someone as brilliant as he to work on the project.



Thanks! I try to not write anything I wouldn't want my family to see Smiley

Peter is awesome. Just a couple days ago we had a very productive discussion about the spec, and he raised some great points about some of our planned future features which I'm working on getting into a pull request.
