As I have been digging further, it does seem that the claims against Dan are overblown. My concerns are more that nobody is answering some pretty basic questions about EMU inflation and equilibrium management algorithms. Closed beta also is discouraging as I can't actually run it, but I have seen posts by people I know that say they have run the beta.

My current feeling is that emunie is real, but closed and sole sourced by a single guy who is overworked and overstressed. His logic of cancelling the public IPO due to trolls, just doesn't make sense to me.

In any case, emunie has no CfB so it is doomed

This thread has a lot of really good information about emunie.

Your feeling is right. eMunie is real and it will be very successful when launched, but it isn't closed. I see you have joined the emunie forum. I hope you add your name to the beta list and hopefully it wont be too long before more spots open up. There is a difference between being fully closed on the one hand, and being open but coordinated and organised in your approach on the other.

The emunie beta testing is following a more typical software development path than most other crypto currencies. It isn't a simple clone like most alt coins, and it isn't being rushed like NXT. Fuserleer has a lot of development experience under his belt, and you can see that for yourself.

NXT is still really in alpha, but it's using real value during testing, and we've all seen some damaging consequences (e.g. the dgex 800K debacle). When eMunie goes live it will have been thoroughly tested for a long time.

I see the NXT community is now trying to form structures and processes to coordinate things. Decentralized currencies are great but decentralized organisation can be chaos. Who is paying all the NXT bounties? Who makes the decisions?

eMunie is very well organised, and it's not a free-for-all. Once released it will be 100% decentralized, but its launch and promotion will be supported by a coordinating organisation for a time (EDRC). This 'structure' will help spread and promote eMunie, but it will still be a fully decentralized currency and payment network, and a whole lot more.

Many of the best features of NXT were copied from eMunie (i'm ducking now), but that is true. Ask yourself this, why did BCNext release NXT on November 24 2013 and not January 3 2014 like he said he would? He wanted to add things like the alias and make it look like it was his idea. eMunie has been using a naming system during beta testing for months and months (ENS). That's why the eMunie source code won't be released until after the launch. To prevent people taking eMunie ideas and rushing them into a new coin.

Fuserleer has made a good explanation of why he closed down the IPO for now. As for being overworked and stressed, I think personal attacks on your 'real' identity and character take a toll. I note that you always sign your posts with your first name, so I suspect you might have some respect for someone who reveals their last name also.

You can trash 'wezelvis' all you want and I will logout and log back in as 'another me' without a care. But 'Dan Hughes' has had the courage to be himself since the beginning of his journey into crypto land, and I think he's had enough of the mud slinging & smears for a while.

eMunie will be released, and it will be successful.
