Justin is not only an Embermine employee. He has quickly become an indispensable fixture at the company. But as all of you have learned, he has also devoted himself to NIO, at first as part of his duties with Embermine, and then because of his sincerely loyalty and belief in the NIO platform.

I am a escrow key holder for NIO, I am one of the single largest holders of NIO, of which I will not have access to for five more months. I am also the CEO of Embermine, and despite at one time holding all 50 million Embers, I gave/sold/traded away all 50 million MBRS and nearly all of the 100 million each of TOV, IDEA, and SLIP, 200 million KNOW, and 5 Billion DOM tokens. I did this because I know where the power stands in Decentralized networks.

I received 5 million NIO and promptly gave them all to MBRS holders. I have 3.8 million NIO that will likely be worth millions, but my intention is to give away as many of those as I can, selling only what is absolutely necessary to build the systems that both Autonio and Embermine need to create the systems our collective networks need.

The only exception are this: I am donating 500k NIO of my 3.8 Million to pay for the first 1,000 subscriptions on the day of release. As the tokens are not in circulation, we are working out a way for this to be guaranteed and have them burnt upon release, resolving the debt for the subscriptions. Why? Because the world needs and deserves this tech. At least the first 1,000 uniques will get it free.

The other exception is that I will give 100k to each of the team members of Embermine, with exception of Justin, whose tireless dedication to this group has been a big part of its success. To him I will award 250,000 NIO.
Finally, Embermine will be sponsoring the NIO Championships in the near future and will offer 1,000,000 NIO to the purse pool. My intention is to make it so that competition will take place on the Embermine Marketplace this coming year, likely in the Fall of 2018.

That leaves about 1,150,000 NIO of which will be spent to pay for development costs for the Marketplace and other NIO/Embermine development.

The power in crypto-networks is always in the hands of the composite or individuals who make up its membership. We all, individually have our own independent goals and needs, but collectively, we all want this to succeed. No one before this moment, knew that I was going to say this, but I hereby now pledge that is exactly where the 3.8 million I will earn will go. And I will publish all transfers out that 3.8 million publicly when they do occur, so the community knows they are not being dumped haphazardly.

Ali and his staff have done some amazing things already, but this is only the beginning of their great work. This community is amazing, but it is so, because we CHOOSE to be so. It is a deliberate course of both action and purpose we all choose to make. As long as we continue to do so, we may have our ups and downs, but we will always move forward.

Thank you to everyone for their support of this project, and those who work so valiantly night and day to make it so.
