As an atheist I kind of have to chuckle at your 'messiah' language
I appreciate the passion and the interest the members show here, but fundamentally there is no power structure and worst of all no accountability. Other than the thin veil of "rational self interest" -- your current community is largely focused on maximizing their own return on investment -- which is wholly incompatible with the ideas around Karma -- in my humble opinion.
Of all the assets that have value, the Trademark is it as far as I'm concerned -- its owned by an individual, not a community. Everything else is open source and freely available. I already have directional control of the X11 based Givecoin, a site that uses and advertises it and an exchange capable to trading it. Plus its actually a "crypto for charitable giving" and a legitimate non-profit to handle it for the public trust.
So if you think your future lies in distributing the pieces and parts to places with no means of control -- go for it.
If on the other hand you want to have an organization with assets and motivation to see it prosper, let me know.
I'm not going anywhere...

I have already explained how buying assets from a person that can be challenged in court is problematic. especially when there is so much documentation and so many witnesses which can testify contrary to his claims. It is of course your choice if you want to take the risk both financially and to your reputation of going down that path.
Under common law there is a clear distinction between Leadership and ownership.. this is what Kosmost never seemed to understand. obtaining ownership of any asset by what now appears to be a deception, does not make it legal under the law and this is something that he may have to face down the line.
further more giving people ownership in an LLC and then revoking it by returning their initial investment does not void their ownership claims and make you sole owner of all assets. there is also enough case law for disgruntled investors to make a court challenge.
I believe that the future for any crypto currency lies in strong leadership not strong ownership.
those people who blindly followed their own greed and hoped to get rich from the Karmashares promises have largely left the community. the people endlessly making scam accusations and trolling are generally not long established members of the community nor do they speak for the community.
quite frankly I am happy to see them dump but what I do not want to see is yet another repeat of Karmashares, nor do most people who remain invested in Karma.
I'd much rather see a community grow slowly and steadily than pump and crash over and over again and I am one of the people who actually benefits from all the hype and dumping..
by the way you think an atheist can't act like a messiah? I guess you never heard of Mao, Che Guevara, Lenin or Kim il sung.
Atheism does not preclude people from delusion of grandeur and starting their own cults.
I am not saying you have delusions of grandeur.. I'm just saying that the people clearly don't want another "dear leader" who does.
and that is why they are being extremely cautious of any Greeks who may seem to bear gifts. (to borrow a phrase from history)
