hi, i'm gordon. and yeah, unfortunately i might be the only person who understands the entirety of the core library. yeah, that's scary. but i wouldn't bet any storj tokens on it because the payoff wouldn't be so great. i'm not listed on the team anymore, because i - along with several others left the project during and after the token sale (empty handed, mind you) for various reasons. i agree, storj didn't need $30mm (but did need more than $30k though, to be fair). > You can only assume these people are more about $$$ than what they are building. a reasonable assumption, but let's draw the line between those building and those profiting, because this assumption is not fair (or accurate) in describing the people who actually did the building.

Thanks for the response Gordon. Sorry to paint you with that brush. You've got my respect, if it means anything, probably took a lot of talent and effort to build. Good luck and keep fighting the good fight.

That sucks man. Have they begged you to come back yet?

  As has been mentioned elsewhere, why would they beg when they have FU money and can buy Lambos. They can honestly say that Storj lead developer left of personal reasons and no one else can take over. There is no obligation on their part to pay anything back. Like the author I have been following crypto currencies (and doing small time mining) since 2011. I have seen several boom-crash cycles. Still I boggle at the madness of the crowds.

Hi Gordon, sorry if this is too far off topic, but what software did you use to make your awesome github profile photo?

  Haha, `libcaca` FTW http://caca.zoy.org/wiki/libcaca http://caca.zoy.org/wiki/libcaca

  You could use http://www.ascii-art-generator.org http://www.ascii-art-generator.org . Select "Image to Color Ascii Art". It is also using libcaca.
