Please don't tell me we're having a CopperheadOS repeat. Not a lot of info is provided, so it's got me slightly worried.

So long as he doesn't have an internal conflict that leads him to delete the signing keys. So far I've only heard about him claiming to have issues with people outside of the organization.

Actually he specifically said that he feels confident in the team taking over. I don't think this is like Copperhead at all.

How are you sure it isn't? He has a history of doing this very thing. Rust, copperhead and now graphene.

I can't be sure of anything. However if you want to compare the situation with Copperhead, I would point to the fact that he had a very public falling out with his business partner. I see nothing of the sort here. I've only seen him say that he's handing over the reins to people he trusts.

(And by the way, I'm saying this as someone who had a lot of apprehension installing Graphene because I was afraid another Copperhead was going to happen.)

Daniel didn't really sabotage the Rust project though, like he did Copperhead; he just stopped making contributions, in a dramatic way.

He made some really good contributions too. He went over the line in communication style and people were not comfortable.

There are zero parallels between being backstabbed by an investor, and stepping down from a project to avoid harassment.

You or Daniel have not provided any evidence for this statement or any claim. You're replyguying this entire thread in support of Daniel without linking to any neutral source.

3 comments are definitely reply-guying..
