....Since Andre & Perica are currently two of the largest stakeholders in the coin, it's fully within their power to elect to go in any direction they want to. I fully support them and hope to join them in some specific project related work.
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.

David,
I agree with you about Andre and Perica and fully understand and support their efforts.
What I have trouble understanding is what you want out of this? Do you intend to buy into the currency and see a value increase, looking for "project related work" that can help pay for your own costs or is there something else to it?
Personally, since I don't intend to "dump and run" what ever helps the coin I'm pretty agreeable to.
That's a fair question!
I intend to create a utility for Karma -- in the real world as well as in the virtual world.
Karma must be an actual platform and not just another "me-too crypto" -- there are hundreds of coinbases that offer no compelling reason to be involved other than a name and potentially some like minded people.
I personally could care less if I 'profit' from Karma's use -- and since I'm proposing putting it in a non-profit that basically negates that motive anyway.
What I am interested in building up a real community -- by bringing in NON-CRYPTO users of the coinbase -- to develop interest in its value as a means to getting access to a community for real-world transactions.
Andre & Perica have done the deepest dive on all my communication to date so they can weigh in on what they think of my ideas.
