I'm still mining xdag, so i consider myself still a part of this open-source project, even if the hierarchy of the 'community' have paranoia issues about losing control.
Nobody controls the coin. There is team of guys who try to support the project and improve it step by step. You just trying to find faults.
all i ever do is try to find faults in coins, which in turn enables developers to fix them.
that was my job remember... until i got banned for doing it

pool still open:
