The Mastercoin Foundation asked me to review the candidates and select a "Smart Property Lead / Evangelist".
I want to thank all the people that applied for the Mastercoin Foundation Smart Property Lead position. I was glad to talk with each of you individually and hear how passionate you are for contributing to the Mastercoin open source project.

After much consideration I've selected Taariq Lewis for the position. Many of you might recognize Taariq from his interview on CCTV. He is passionate about Bitcoin and developing one of the first projects on top of the Mastercoin Protocol smart property feature.

Taariq will be serving at the point person for the Smart Property feature in the sense that he will be talking with other developers that want to build on top of the MSC protocol smart property feature, gathering community input, and bridging a dialog between the awesome developers coding it up and those that want to use the feature.

Here is his Linkedin profile to see his back ground: www.linkedin.com/in/taariq Preferred channels:
Email: taariq.lewis@gmail.com
Phone: (646) 479 - 6098

(Yes I asked if I could post these publicly)

Thanks again to Taariq for offering his valuable time serving the community in this position.

For some reason by Bter Account was hacked. Saw the login notification via email, and withdrew my funds 45 seconds after before anything bad happened. Anyone else have this happen?

Thanks for the quick transaction bud, hopefully MSC will make us both rich one day (AND BTC!)

Now waiting on coinbase to stop sucking!

Still waiting, not a peep. I've PMed and emailed him personally with no response. Two weeks is a really long time for the most trusted member of the forum to be incommunicado.

Well, after some haggling I was able to settle with TradeFortress for 199.383xbt. While it's a pretty terrible outcome, at least I can put this mess behind me, and hopefully preserve my purchasing power in the face of the volatile bitcoin market.
I'll continue to update this thread, but any legal action will have to come from another party, as I no longer have any stake in the matter.

These were the transactions;

c2da4a08c7f01f4ca599ab75594d3510abffa0db0f52a1c4f0349eded37cc772

Perhaps as a result of this deal TradeFortress can offer a better proportion of your deposits back.

Might want to buy a couple master coins someone send me a pm if they are interested in selling me a couple

more exchanges should hopefully equal a more competitive war on fees! 

TradeFortress? Is that you?

Already in, I got mine anyway.

Over 2600 MSC traded yesterday.  All time high!

MSC is $68.78  

Added an MSC price in $USD by manually entering the price from the order book.
  
Is there a way to get the last traded price from the order book via URL link?

Has anyone received any emails this week so far? Also TF, are you going to send them to everyone at once or in batches?

Please email info@mastercoin.org - thanks!
