I was under the impression that Ned declined the offer from @blocktrades a week or so ago. Has there been a change in this regard? The post you linked to is almost two weeks old and Ned has been awol from what I can tell since he bailed on his last update he had rescheduled.

Glad your new server is going much faster, and I appreciate you are eating the costs during these down times to better serve the community. I have always felt witnesses should lead by example, and subsidizing your server is a testimony to your dedication to the community and chain. Thank you for caring.
