Good one little blue.  Mishax is a real bonehead and a dick.  Don't bother wasting time with the morons around here or you will become frustrated.  Just let that trash talk away to no one and he'll finally go back to DOGE where he belongs.

Actually, Ron is the head.  But he doesn't really do anything but hire assistants.  He is a straw man.  They chose him because the US Feds can't easily grab a guy from Israel.  This way, guys like JR, Johnston, can all say: "wasn't me!".  Thank god Zathras head of coding isn't from the US too. 

Clearly, JR's wife is the real boss.  I sure hope she doesn't need another Ferrari this year.  I am not sure MSC can afford another $250,000 taken out of the system.

JR? or RON? or Dominik？

Wow, one glimpse at bitcointalk and I remember why I don't read this place.

I'm the CEO. My email is ron@mastercoin.org and my skype is ripper234.
(Please excuse if it takes me a long time to process your email - I get a metric ton of them!)

In addition you can visit my Sococo office [using this link](https://www.sococo.com/web/join/bg0gjoqu5xv0tvq62pud1mz21), while I'm around.

I am not quitting and nobody from the board has shown any inclination to fire me.
BTW neither me nor J.R take any salary from the Foundation.

I clicked the 'ignore' button for a few people on this thread today - you know who you are.
Any constructive criticism or suggestion is welcome at our githubs / info@mastercoin.org / dev@mastercoin.org

I sent Adam a note about the broken homepage link and lack of SSL support on mastercointalk, I expected that to be fixed within up to a week or so, depending on other priorities.

And finally - thanks to all supporters - it means a lot to me.

[RawDog]

 WHO IS mastercoin CEO？

I'm the CEO. My email is ron@mastercoin.org

Probably the biggest reason Ron is a disaster for Mastercoin is that he thinks he is the CEO of Mastercoin.  

Hey Ron, with a personal assistant you'd think it would take less than one week to remove the 's' from: "https://www.mastercointalk.org/"

And you guys wonder why there is no participation in the forum?  Even the foundation's own page has broken links leading to dead ends.  MasterFoundation has done everything imaginable to prevent participation in discussion of the project including:
1) Locking threads (3) on bitcointalk; 2) making registration impossible (broken email); and 3) Publishing broken links on the Foundation front page.  

Can you think of any other ways to drive interested people away towards dumb ass projects like Dogecoin?  Nothing could be more clear than the foundation wants to sabotage the forum.  I don't think they like what the people have to say.  Now Ron decides to 'ignore' his critics rather than fix the problems.  Putting one's head in the sand isn't such a good management approach Ron.

[mishax1]

Boy, you TROLL SO MUCH !! go waste your time on something useful instead of trashing this thread with your spam.

[RawDog]

Please excuse if it takes me a long time to process your email - my assistant is lazy and stupid and I am mostly on the beach trying to stay away from angry Palestinians.

No excuses.  It shouldn't take a long time to 'process email'.  If you are unable to use email effectively, you shouldn't be ExDir.  

When can we vote for a new ExDir?

[RawDog]

- it means a lot to me and my jewish friends!

Was the 'hack-athon' in Israel really a bonafide Mastercoin event?  ...or was it actually a silly means by which Ron was passing around money to all of his mates?

"Shaul Kfir, Nadav Ivgi, Zeev Zohar, Oren Sokolovsky, Ilana Stein, Shai Zluf, Eitan Katchka, Hanoch Bar Nitzan, Ilan Doron, Matan Field, Yehonatan Natan, Yehonatan Levi, Zvika Rap, Shabtai Dvir, Nitzan Raber"

That group doesn't sound very 'international' to me.  It sound distinctly, well, you know.

Could someone please tell me what bit of good code came from this event which will actually benefit the Mastercoin Protocol?  Or is it rather a silly event created to pretend like some good is coming from it and it actually raids the Mastercoin Foundation's purse?

[dexX7]

Well, you'd need to clarify which money (from where?) is distributed, if this is the case at all. I really hope the winners of this hackathon do have plans for the future related to Mastercoin. At least I know the second place does.

- Developing a fully distributed chess protocol which doesn’t require a central server.
- Potential for various commercial, educational and entertainment directions.

What in the hell is the world going to do with another ride sharing app?  Fuck.  Did anyone suggest anything useful?

Judith (jjaquarias I believe here) did an awesome job of getting sponsors for these.
No Foundation funds were spent on prizes, it's all from our sponsors.

The first place winners would have liked to do this on BTC vs MSC trades, but sadly we don't support multisig yet. We still scored it very highly because we think it's an amazing innovation, and I personally would like to see that integrated into Omniwallet at some point.

Let's imagine for a second there is going to be some kind of proof-of-stake based voting mechanism in Mastercoin, would you like to have the ability to transfer voting rights or should this be prohibited by all means? An implication of the transfer of voting rights is that votes may be traded which may, or may not be something to aim for.

If transferring voting rights are allowed, would it be easy for the owner of the Mastercoin stake to call back those voting rights at any time?

IMO it should be allowed since you anyway could bribe the owner of the vote to vote in their awy.
