it could as well be toast liquidating to get funding for his new project Maker .. (another wild guess)

I thought he would have sold long ago when he left since it was still worth something then and that is around when price dropped bigtime.

thanks for your work

what i don't get. everytime someone is leaving no information or some words of farwell. I am the only one who thinks
this is strange?

Does the coders are not feeling they are a part of this community?

If and when he did leave he probably wouldn't want to upset the market and cause downward spike, instead he would distribute his coins safely and exit without commotion.. thats just a thought putting me in the dev teams shoes. But I agree its probably better to atleast say farewell especially after you have already sold.. this is all theoretical though.

Post by: Pheonike on March 22, 2016, 05:34:39 pm: I can see someone getting tired of worrying if they are going to be paid or not. This community wants everything done ASAP but then wants to argue about paying developers what they are worth. This is one of dozens of projects and regularly work out there. This whole crypto thing is already risky, yet we want to make it riskier by not wanting to hold on to good proven talent.

If I have the skills I would rather take the risk on my own project than one that does not think I'm worth it. We should have programmers bragging about how great it is to work for the Bitshares blockchain. That would invite more talent to want to check us out and get involved.
