“"If you ask Brantly yourself, despite our differences he will tell you otherwise."

In killing ENS by capturing the DAO and stealing its treasury there is no ecosystem to build on anymore. A naming system that people don't use is worthless.

“ENS legend”If you're active on Ethereum then you should already know who Brantly is. Especially if you own ENS. ENS DAO delegate, security council, former lead core team. Brantly is currently building ethID (Ethereum identity stack), EFP (Ethereum Follow Protocol) and Grails ENS marketplace. Oh, and also SIWE (Sign in with Ethereum). One of the top contributors to the ethereum and ENS ecosystem.

“An ethereum builder and passionate advocate”Brantly was the director of operations of ENS, he was the main guy behind the first integrations, he also directed the creation of the Dao, but he most importantly served as the liaison between the DAO/lab and the community. To say he was a vital link in the growth of the protocol, and of Ethereum in general, is an understatement. He excelled, with passion and warmth, in areas where many within the ENS leadership, even to this day, failed miserably. Few people know that he is also the creator of Sign in with Ethereum (SIWE)... Until a few weeks ago, he continued to contribute to the development of ENS through his (fee-free) Grails marketplace and the Ethereum Follow Protocol, among other things. Above all, what stands out to me is his tenacity, his faith in ENS and Ethereum, and his close relationship with users throughout all those years. He has decided to distance himself from ENS for the time being. I hope he will be back!
