Agreed.  The BAD in the name speaks to its heritage.  I've been listening to the podcast for a while, and these guys are anything but bad... they're Bad!  I've been mining this found a couple days and it is exciting to be able to watch mining rewards arrive at a steady rate.  The fact that the algorithm tries to give miners a more or less equal footing is a novel approach, and I think will do well to help bring new people into the crypto community, as well as allow them to get their feet wet with mining.  Mining has always been one of those "he who has the money, makes the money" kind of things, so here is hoping this can level the playing field so new folks can learn about how these things work.
