I feel like Karmashares is the rich uncle who just died and most of the family is wasting time over why there was nothing in the will for them.
Indeed, we're wasting a tremendous amount of time focusing on things that aren't related to adding any value for Karma.
It was 7 days ago that I announced Karmashares was shutting down, 6 days ago I was essentially banned from participating in team chats and asked to remove myself as moderator of the KarmaTeam subreddit, and 5 days ago that I announced I will no longer lead Karma
But it would seem that I have learned 4 things over the past week
1) Karma has a great name
2) No one on the team is interested in keeping core services running (not even responding to the post)
3) We continue to 'volunteer' ourselves as a community, but there is very little actual productivity
4) Despite the many complaints about shutting down Karmashares there was not a single viable alternative offered
We've squandered a lot of the extra attention that we've received over the past couple of weeks arguing over insignificant details.
Out of these ashes a new community will arise, hopefully, of people who actually need Karma right now.
1. Agreed
2. I made an offer (even sent you a note privately about buying the Trademark)
3. Agreed -- but in the vacuum of leadership and direction I think its understandable
4. Again, I made an offer -- and ALSO got kicked out of the Trello board for being an dispassionate neutral third-party.
So KOSMOST -- if you own the Trademark -- ping me -- I'm interested in acquiring it and re-locating all services onto our cloud infrastructure.

can I get some clarification here?...
Karma is an open source community the name and logo were created by the community.
Karmashares was a private company managed and run by Kosmost.
so which trademarks are we talking about?
if Kosmost wants to sell Karmashares assets including trademarks then that's up to him and his investors. Nobody except for the people that invested directly in Karmashares has any right at all to complain to Kosmost for what he does there.
if anyone wants to buy or sell Karma assets (including trademarks and source code etc of the coin itself).. I, as a member of the community, would take great exception to this and so would the law considering there is enough prior art to clearly show that these are owned by the community and not any individual or organisation.
