The NHZ Development / Marketing team

This information was meant to go out in two days in a professional format, but we are releasing the information now to show our transparency, commitment to the project, and integrity of the entire team. No one is abandoning the project. In fact, we will only grow with more and more professional developers who have taken interest in furthering NHZ.

This post will be updated throughout the day as the rest of the team updates their bio's.

We will be posting our development road map in the next 48 h - Please bare with us, as we moved up our schedule.
Development has already been going strong for over a week. All NHZ holders and community will be extremely pleased with what we are working on, and have planned.

If anyone has any questions or concerns, or ideas for NHZ, do not hesitate to contact myself, or any of our team members.
My contact information is as follows, and any of our members can be reached via PM or on the #NHZ IRC.
On behalf of the ENTIRE NHZ team, we thank you for your continued interest and support.
Together we will continue to build a strong community, with open lines of communication, and a platform that will benefit everyone involved and looking to be involved in crypto-currency.

All funds will be kept in escrow, and remaining bounty funds will be handled by Polo.
None of the team members will have direct access to these funds, and we will be implementing multi-sig for further security and trust between the development team and community. Today's events (9/21/2014) were a result of miss-communication, and everything has been rectified.
