Got credited yday 12hours after the expected time and today at the usual time. Everything seems to be back to normal.

I looked for John Carley and Michael Brandenburg in the Bitcoin Foundation page and they are not there.

Does anyone know what their friendship with the Bitcoin foundation mean?

Not much info can be extracted from the website regarding the company location and the owner:
