I absolutely welcome other devs joining this coin.
Which is why it is vitaly important that we have a crystal clear list of principles and what our goals are.

I was attracted to spreadcoin because of two main principles:

- the promise of true decentralization (with an interesting solution for how to solve centralization of pools)
- the way mr. spread tried to bring free market economics into masternodes by introducing competition among them (fix number of 1440 seats). That literally blew my mind.

I absolutely want to keep this tradition of true decentralization and true economics alive with spreadcoin.
Which is also why I have spent countless hours debating in this thread here, defending the principles against ideas that I think are horrible, lol.  
Not because they wouldn't solve a particular problem (like e.g. how to get money quick, or how to raise the price in the short term) but because throwing your principles out of the window is also exactly what will scare all the good devs away, and only attract the wrong people. IMHO.

Imagine that a halfbaked dev (99% of what runs around here) comes along, produces more github commits than me (as if they are a gauge for quality) and then pushes for a "funding through coinbase".
I would absolutely start a war!
Because that's how important principles are.

The saying goes like this:

It takes 10 years to build a good reputation, but only 10 minutes to ruin it.

I don't care that people think that development is too slow. It has progressed exactly the amount of time/money I put into it. So it makes sense.
