The time is gone, the music is over,
Thought I would one thing extra to say.
— Pink Floyd

It’s with no small quantity of unhappiness that I need to bid ye farewell. Like The Floyd’s work, within the time I’ve been concerned with Ethereum, I’ve sampled the total gamut of emotion. From the amazement of assembly so many cool folks (not least of whom Jani and Wendell) in Miami, Jan ‘14, to assembly Jeff for the primary time in Feb ‘14 for the primary actual face-to-face collaboration on a consumer, to travelling by way of the U.S. in March ‘14 and assembly luminaries like Joel and Juan. After which there was the thrill of establishing EthDev and constructing a group with my serial co-conspirator Aeron, attending to know the superior coders Martin and Roman at DevCon-0 and testing the depths of my mind with Matt and Tim on Ethash…

However sufficient of the previous; endings absolutely beckon alternative if solely you search sufficient, and that is no completely different. Along with core builders Arkadiy and Marek and a troupe of others (outdated arms and new faces alike), I’ll be working to make The Dream a actuality as a part of a shiny new enterprise.

I’m afraid to say I’ll be letting my C++ get just a little rusty as I discover varied avenues of expertise apart from the cpp-ethereum core. Nonetheless I’ll do my finest to assist and information Bob, Christoph and others as they take it ahead to new realms and supply a little bit of competitors for the opposite groups.

The highway forward is definitely bumpy however we all know what we’ve got to do and the views, I count on, will probably be magnificent. Goodbye and thanks for all of the fish.
