Let us please make sure both sides answer these questions...this could be the perfect moment to inform the public so we are not so "in the dark". I understand there is information (everywhere, scattered about...etc), but it would be nice to get a thread where these tough questions can be asked of both of you. The entire world has a great deal at stake (not just monetarily) in the outcome of these experiments...
There are no tough questions on my end. I am no longer associated with Invictus Innovations as of October and that was a decision made by the other members of the board of directors. It is a closed matter and will not be reopened by me because it is productive to no one.
The only Invictus issues that I am subject to are those involving the foundation of the company up until I left in October. Changes to the proforma impact all investors of I3 and the management has a fiduciary duty to communicate these changes to all investors in a timely manner. I am simply asking what the relationship between I3 and BitShares is and how this relationship benefits the investors of I3. From the Texas conference:
Dan Larimer
Founder & CEO, BitShares
Daniel Larimer is a Virginia based entrepreneur and software engineer with a passion to find free market solutions to secure life, liberty, and property. He is the founder of BitShares.org and the originator of the concept of DACs (decentralized autonomous companies). He is the chief architect of the peer-to-peer, trust-less, block chain based financial system known as BitShares.

There seems to be a debranding of I3 into BitShares thus my interest in the query.
Of course their aren't Charles. You are quite cool and calculating my friend...and you obviously have perfected your pitch. How long did it take looking in the mirror or chatting with your "advisors" to get this down?
Yet it seems so odd how you only show up on our forums to post when it directly will benefit you and "Ether" huffers... 14 posts and all in only the interest of batting away fires you start? My desire to listen to you grows less and less with every post here. Taking into consideration I have been banned from "ethereum's" subreddit for asking questions and keeping them in the minds of those who visit makes me trust you and your little group even less. Sure you enlisted talent...I just wonder if they know who they are working for.
Now it is my turn to ask, "why the hell are you here?" Obviously you are not here to aid our community other than to ask tough questions from which you yourself apparently are immune. Go back to magic land...
I honestly do not care why you left Invictus anymore. I look at you and I think "Bill Gates"...and that is not a good thing. The only difference is that the tech we are all looking at has consequences that potentially FAR outweigh the damage centralized systems have done to the world we know today and so the wrong individuals with the wrong ego could cause a great deal of pain to genuinely good people.
P.S. sorry to those on the forums who know me and know this is out of my character...Charles and his antics have a tendency to bring me here..."I don't need to explain myself to anyone...no tough questions needed on my end, I am flawless...Turing complete! One chain to rule them all!"...these things all wreak of something I don't want to touch with a ten-foot pole let alone my investment money. It's a good thing you already have plenty of "advisors" in the bitcoin community to co-opt, I mean fund, this venture of yours.
