There is a time and a place for new accounts and there is a time and a place for building new projects on your accounts.

I see a lot of people spinning off Project/Tokens and then just vanishing from DESO for months on end or those just dumping their CCv1 and switching over to CCv2 without saying anything to their CCv1 investors.

This is very disrespectful and dishonest and I avoid touching projects of such people and also their tokens even with a barge-pole.

For me, maintaining even one account has been an effort and that's why I try and keep the # of my active accounts/projects to a minimum. The benefit of course is most of my CCv1 holders have been with me from 2021 and have only kept adding to their positions.

Having said that, I do have a few project accounts where I have tried to keep separate from my account for specific reasons and also tried to do some fund-raising for it and when things didn't work out returned most of the funds remaining to Investors:

1. @desoscams - The intent was to avoid getting linked to and then have scammers harass me for calling them out. @nathanwells joined in the efforts once we launched @desoguard and then @MyDesoSpace and while we are in pause mode to see how Focus scales up, we should get back to building it once things stabilize.
2. @CreaTiers - A 6-12 month effort where we looked to build the Fiverr/Upwork of DESO between August 21 and March 22 and then paused it initially due to the Octane 2nd promised tranche getting paused and then pulled and us running out of funds from our other investors.
3. $Ribbitz - The latest effort from Scott and I where again he's doing the bulk of the heavy-lifting and I am just helping him in terms of strategy and tokenomics.

Besides these two, most of my other projects/accounts (@IndianBitclout, @desosanalytics @Verifier etc.) are for specific purposes and I've not opened up the FR on most of them or even created CCv2 to avoid any commitment to investors that I have to live by since they didn't reach a stage where it was serious enough to raise funds.

Anything further I do will be on @Randhir account ONLY unless there are other people involved and/or community contributions play a major role in the project in which case I might consider launching a token to tokenize the project. Even if I work with Artists/Devs in the future for any project, I will try and reward them with my main token or one of the Project Tokens (e.g. $Ribbitz) instead of launching a new token that people expect returns from. All my Focus will therefore will be on growing the 2-3 Tokens that I commit to including of course my own CCv2.
