Here is his message:

After much thought, I have decided to step down as Director of Marketing and PR for SmartCoin. I am very happy with the work I've done with SmartCoin to get added to almost every major exchange, and I still believe in SmartCoin's potential. However, I no longer have the time necessary to devote to developing SmartCoin's potential. I am still and will remain a SmartCoin advocate, but the time has come for me to step down in my current position.

So at this time, I'm actively looking for a replacement that can match and exceed ag_'s dedication. You will be appropriately compensated for your time.

Very sad. I can understand his decision. It´s a lot of work. And it isn´t an easy job, because a lot of ppl. expect a lot and a fast rising in value. But most of the ppl. don´t want a pre-mine, which can be used as a bounty to get professional help and they even don´t want to help for free at the same time. It´s so easy guys, if you don´t have time or the abilities to help SMC with coding, design, pr or marketing, just mine/buy and hold your coins. Just be patient and give it some time to grow. Don´t panic at every pike. That´s helps a lot.

I´m a professional marketing guy and designer for 20 years. My job is called Creative Director. I´ve a lot experience and I´ve offered my help several times. If my help is needed, I´ll be there. But I can´t do it in full-time. I´ve to earn my money with my daily business. There will be some days where I can help and there will be some days where I haven´t time for SMC. Even if I don´t have time to make a new design, I´ll have some time to give some advises.

I´m although mining from start with 6 MH/s and I bought a lot SMC at a very high price. SMC has a good and active dev and a growing community. I´m believing in the marketing potential. As an expert in this, I know the name is worth a lot.

I´ll keep on helping as good as I can. But I´m not a native speaker, I´m from Germany. I´ll support this community with design, advises, my marketing know-how and even with some headlines and slogans. But copys and PR should be done by a native speaker.

But don´t forget this can´t be done by 2, 3 or 5 ppl.! We need you all and we need you to tell the world about this smart currency. We need your trust. No one can guarantee you, if SMC will be successful and if you will be rich with it. I´m believing in the potential of SmartCoin and I hope you are believing as well.

Let´s do it together!!!

Be smart! Be patient! Support SmartCoin - the currency of a SmartWorld²

As soon as we have a marketplace or a payment system, I´ve a coffeeshop in Hamburg / Germany which will accept SmartCoins. And this is just the beginning.

If anybody is interested in a RL meeting in Hamburg - just PM/me. We can do it at the coffeeshop Wink

you have my vote! lol
