I should note that I consider bitcoin and all of its clones just a long con, and really the only other two (solidcoin and ripple) are quite shady in their own right, so I have a pretty poor view of cryptocurrencies in general. So I do applaud the fact that you are working on something different, especially in regards to the money creation process, but it has to be bullet-proof.

Something I'm in total agreement with you on.
I can be a bit of a troll here on btt, pretty much because I mostly believe btc and its million clones are not what they present themselves to be; ie a fair alterative currency to the 'evil' bankers fiat.
You'll see a common theme over time I present, that it seems to me most in the crypto community want an alternative to the 'evil' gov/bankers controlled currencies, yet cryptos are a clear proof that most people act the same when given the similar powers to the 'evil' bankers.

I've said it time and time again all cryptos that come from within this community are instamined (in terms of being accepted by the broader community, which is most's stated goal).

imo Bitcoin (or any of the rest) are only considered a success because of their price verses USD, none are all that useful to average joe as a genuine alternative currency to the bank controlled fiat (thats my opinion and it hasn't changed being in the crypto community for many years).

Now I entered the emunie community and questioned Dan from that perspective, I can say for probably the first time in cryptos I've been happy with well let say 75% of the answers.
I've attack aspects of emunie pretty hard (and we still agree to disagree on many areas), but Dans has always treated me respectfully.

From many chats with Dan, I've seen he's not an expert in every single area that such a large project covers, he's brilliant in some areas, though where he lacks he's a pretty quick learner, the big positive is where he lacks he has the advantage of looking at it with fresh eye's (and in this he has certainly thrown in a few surprises).

Dan is working tirelessly on the project with the aim of making a geniune useable currency for joe public, I see for him he's very motivated about the project not about making bundle of money.
For me thats a good start in getting my support, and from being in all the beta's (I think we're closer to omega though) and extensive questioning I think he has a great chance in achieving emunie's aims.
