Dtc (and primecoin) has interesting coin emission algorithm. The block reward very quickly drops with difficulty growing.
It seems the dtc is designed to make rich the first miners, but not next miners.
It seems not very fair.
Dtc has no active development team.
It seems there are a few interested people. But they are not active developers. They just see, talk and wait.
There are a few big holders. And they don't want to change something. They prefer the dtc death then to lost their coins. They just see, talk and wait too.
Twitter site has many repeated and pretentious messages. I don't want to hurt somebody, but It is seems as scam. It is very bad for dtc reputation.
If nothing changed - dtc will die.
At present I help and will help to dtc.
You can hate me. But if nothing changed - I will think about create a new dev team for new coin with the same data saving ideology but without such unfair emission algorithm and without such hard legacy.
I dont know what is cost of making new coin ( I assume that must cost is getting market for new coin) but many coins died, and only few of them success. So if you are not obligated in any way to datacoin ( and you are not ), and since
you write and develop wallets that are ultrastable and without virus warning at all, then I will first be to support you and new coin you make. I assume that new coin will be fork of data or primeccoin, so we already have miners, and already have wallets. Good for start.
If someone will loose 11M coins then should be that way. At low difficulty it is not problem at all to have such sum of coin...
