One month on I still wonder if the level of animosity will ever stop?

I personally believe that a verbal conversation needs to be arranged by the protagonists.
The air needs to be cleared for us all to move forward.

The superblock continues to be problematic and our valiant developers (you know who you are) continue to delve around in the guts of the code for the project to worm out the bottlenecks that may occur when we get an even bigger increase of users.

Successfully staked a superblock

I hope to see the new logo up and running soon, it'd be nice if the exchanges got their media pack before the mandatory release and when they changed their Gridcoin logos we could track the success with new users that come on-board after that date.

Wear a funny mask or a gorilla costume.

Must be lots more ideas out there to get us in the public eye.
