One thing I'm kind of unsure and wary about is that the community fund is controlled by a small handful of people that dictate what happens with hundreds of thousands of DAG.  I realize that some of them were there from the start of things but how are decisions going to be made with the future of DAG and how much of a cut are they taking?  Is there transparency around this?

Also, with the current algorithm is ASIC mining possibly already being used?
