I would be more than willing to collect a list of questions and then call will 2x per week (likely moves to 1x per month after it stabilizes) and ask him though questions. If Will declined to answer the questions or the phone call, I would just tell everyone that.
Hashfast took a long time PMing people to find willing parties to harass posters because Josh already had a job. They PMed many forum members before getting someone to "pretend" to work for Hashfast and basically troll people.
I would like to think this is a different scenario.
Exactly this. We don't want to create another crappy situation by hiring someone (new/uninformed/perceived shill) to do public communications. My request for this is simply to help manage the shortage of time-bandwidth we're currently experiencing, even if it's just short-term until things calm down a bit.
Edit: I'm happy for Minor Miner to fulfill this role as he's willing (and able). I'll transfer one of my own shares to him via the icedrill.io backend.
