In the mean time, my offer to move central services and wallet development into the non-profit Strength in Numbers Foundation is still on the table. You're not going to get any greater transparency than you will find in an IRS-990 form (google it if you need to know what that is)
That's the minimum TRIAGE to set a new foundation. The coin still needs a PURPOSE and a CONSUMER if you want it to have a strategic value and on-going UTILITY.

Can you do this without the permission of current devs? I think otherwise Karma is not going any where..
In theory, other than the issue surrounding the legitimacy of the USPTO Trademark (actually it appears to be a Service Mark designation) -- I think it's possible. See what we did with:
http://karmarewards.meOver the weekend...
Look familiar? (It should as long as one trusts the completeness of wget -m )
It's just a raw clone, no edits on underlying links yet...
It would be in the communities better interest of course if there was at least an explicit if not tacit secession of power/control/transfer by the current "team" -- if even that means a simple public declaration of support.
The critical components of the core services IMHO are the checkpointing servers. Everything else can run fully de-coupled. I would ask that Andre & Perica step up to share hosting/replication responsibilities with us.
I would propose that we establish a VPN between Strength in Numbers infrastructure and theirs in order to build a stronger Web of Trust.
