Thanks for keeping us updated Charles, tbh everything sounds great apart from the Name change. One thing I would say is considering we know a fork is inevitable and how contentious that will be regardless of it's reasoning, can we try to do as many critical changes as possible at one time eg. name change/POS etc? Your commitment and involvement via IOHK and also your personal time and effort, gives me hope & faith that we can make ETC a truly decentralized and immutable chain of governance & finances etc.

On a completely separate note i read an article Barry Silbert posted a few days back about the 10 most influential in the blockchain world/community, you were not in it and Barry was lol. No disrespect to him but i don't think anything he will do will ever change the world, on the other hand you could quite possibly do that @ some point. I have a lot of faith and belief in you, don't know exactly why or for what 1 reason, you don't even get half the credit you deserve. Everything happens for a reason so you will be rewarded @ some point that i'm sure. Again keep up the good work man, ur a legend in my eyes.....
