A very turbulent day for CGB et all.
Sad to hear that Merc has left the building but glad to here that a new team is soon good to go.
Perhaps it would be wise to have a larger than 1 man dev. team, to both share the tasks and also increase the development of new features and fixes. Right now there is a focus on PoS crypto-currencies so we should try to use this community interest and show the values of holding CGB as a wealth builder.

^ that would boost confidence and CGB stability, I think that would be a sensible move in the coming months

Hi!
I did not sell and will not sell. And I want to express my support for you. Although my loss is very high. And this crypto was the last hope. Try to make something for my family. But I will not cry. Stay with you

One final note regarding Mercury. Although he and I do not see eye to eye at present, the fact remains that his contributions to CGB were enormous and CGB would not be poised for take off without his tireless and dedicated commitment for many months. The community owes him thanks and we will wish him well. Parting is the best thing right now but we will support him as best we can. Godspeed my friend.

Neither did I. Only bought extra today. I'm now almost completely all in on CGB (apart from a bunch of PRT, and waiting for ADT to return on cryptsy)

+1...can't agree more...also welcome aboard artiface...

Well what this coin needed is a new direction, as we clearly saw that the old one didn't work... So this is our welcomed opportunity to turn things around: I am keeping my CGB safely locked up in my vault...

I just wanted to post a quick word here about what happened today. I was mobile and have finally had the time to catch up on everything. I will start by saying that I believe everyone has done what is best for themselves and we can leave it at that. I wish Merc luck and hopefully we can still collaborate in the future. Change is never easy. I also need to say that elambert has been a very honest and kind person to me and he has 100% of my support. As I calmly read over all of this stuff I see that he was right on top of things and to tell you the truth I think this is the catalyst we really needed to transition from the old to the new.

I will maintain my role (though more officially) as a community development and marketing leader and do my best to help fulfil our collective potential! We will be meeting shortly to organize ourselves and I am sure there will be upcoming announcements. As for me I haven't missed a beat and have posted a challenge over at http://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoMarkets/comments/1za5hg/technical_chart_analysis_challenge_show_me_what/. Let's see what you got!  

Fundamentally very little has changed for CGB. Our core team size looks like it has already doubled and might triple. CGB has exchanged hands on the market from one concentrated holder to no doubt countless investors on cryptsy today and likely over a period prior. I am going to end this small piece of analysis with something that may surprise some and that's that I don't believe the core value of CGB in any way depended on MADEsparq. I am sure its had a levitating effect on price in the past as every new crypto-currency wants something to really distinguish itself. CGB is already distinguished. There is no other crypto-currency out there that can claim what we have (Proof of Stake, inflation stage complete, modelled after gold supply). Now we have added the explosion of community collaboration over the last month and today our community has rallied to turn this shocking news into the dawn of a new team, new direction, new excitement!

We have taken this bull by its horns.

I've been lurking and watching this coin from a distance for a while now, but haven't touched it.

Looks like now's the time to start investing!
