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:
http://xdag.signal2noi.seOK, so I went through the source code and am quite familiar with the core now, did some improvements to the storage and plan to move the core to python. What I am missing here are technical concerns and not MOANING, so please, if you have some (not the local DNET stuff which ca be replaced .... a f. code-monkey project!!!), the floor is yours!
Indeed there is a lot of room for improvement but going through the source code of other "more important" projects such as ETH, I find it unbelievable, the holes that are there to exploit!
