Antshares (ANS) Conference at Microsoft Beijing - ANTSHARES is now NEO!

For those of you that don't know, Antshares (ANS) held a major conference today at the Microsoft office in Beijing. A few of the major announcements included:

-Rebranding
-Smart Contracts 2.0
-White Paper Release

Antshares will now be called NEO and their logo has been changed as well. It was announced that this change in branding will take effect in Q3 2017. Their website has already been updated to reflect the recent changes. The site is now neo.org. If you currently hold ANS, your shares will NOT be affected. The only thing that has changed is the name.

There seems to be a lot of questions about the team lately, specifically their lack of developers. Here is the list of their contributors:
