This creates more questions than answers, can you elaborate on how the two chains are related.
>I wanted to keep a simple efficient currency separate from the tokens to, keep it simple.
how does that work in favor of keeping it simple? it seems to add complexity and makes the mined coins somewhat of less value.
Seems we are in perfect agreement again, TheStuhlman.
Yes, I can't see how multiple tokens are going to make things simpler. I am also confused because the second POS chain is meant to be the fuel for apps. What use do the tokens on the first chain have, and why would anyone want to mine, buy, or hold them? The tokens on the second chain seem to be the only ones of value, and they are being airdropped for free. The tokens on the first chain seem useless, yet you need to mine or purchase them. Pretty warped incentive model that is going to lead to a weak and vulnerable PoW network.
ok I had a technical long explanation typed up but I erased it. We can save that for later.
This is why.
It's called options.
In business you have options to meet different demographics.
Do i want this simple coin?
Do i want this complicated coin?
Why would having both make one useless?
Has ether made btc useless or monero? Or the USD?
there will always be options. And fans of one or the other.
Me personally both.
Because the currency is for money.
The fuel tokens are for running applications.
I wouldn't buy a burger with gasoline and burn money for fuel.

Edit: I'd like to add that in the markets this will make great market play for users and what Do you say of NXT and ARDOR ?
