The Whitepaper is still the best thing to read although things change fast here (hard forks are routine, not a quagmire of politics like in Bitcoin).

Then I would recommend reading @dantheman's postings especially the latest one. You will see the main developer's agony to make this system fairer and how he listen and communicate.

Well then I hope you get up to speed quickly Roger, many here would love to hear your perspective of this platform including me.

You have made investments in many crypto projects. How involved are you with them now? The last one I am aware of was purse.io, which I learned about on the Daily Decrypt. I ask b/c being a user of purse.io for 9 - 10 months now, I see the need for UI improvements which are minor to implement but really help new users. I don't get the impression any development or bug fixing is going on with purse.io now Also, I see the need to publish and synchronize purse.io and Amazon policies. One minor example is how orders that include "Add ons" (items too inexpensive to ship but my be "added onto" other orders) are handled.

Anyway, despite its flaws purse.io is a fantastic service. I hope Amazon doesn't crush it with a few changes to its' policies. Would love to see the same type of thing done for ebay too.
