Hi everyone.
I am Rigr, lead developer and admin on Alpaca Marketplace.
Lately, this subreddit has been subject to a lot of ill-informed discussion and speculation regarding the relaunch of Cannabis Road and the role of me and other admins from Alpaca Marketplace.
Understandably, many people are confused as to what exactly is going on. Hopefully I can clear a few things up:
I have agreed to let the owners of CR 2.0 use Alpaca's multisig framework for their new marketplace.
Alpaca and CR 2.0 are two completely separate marketplaces. I do not own CR 2.0 and Alpaca has not been bought by the owners of CR 2.0 (who, to my knowledge, are the original owners of CR).
I am not in a position to answer questions regarding CR's repayment plans. For such enquiries, I will have to refer you to their forums
If you have any further questions, please ask, and I will try to answer to the best of my knowledge.

Edit 2:
Also, I guess I forgot to mention, I currently control CR's server.
I did not think this would come as a suprise, but it seems people are making a bigger deal of it than I would've expected.
Now whether I will continue to manage their servers in the future or pass on the keys to someone else has yet to be agreed upon.
