As far as I know, the offer for d/bitcoin was 250 ETH, and it was declined.  Do you have any proofs for your claims to the contrary?  If not, then those should be discarded as purely FUD.

Regarding the Handshake money:  It was claimed for the Namecoin team (and I believe the Handshake guys actually meant it to be distributed to past contributors, not to the project for the future).  I personally declined to receive any of that money.  Namecoin got also some reserved names on Handshake (bit for sure, and perhaps namecoin as well, I don't remember the details), which I claimed using namecoin.org DNS.

As TradeRunner already stated, I see myself mostly as code maintainer for Namecoin (and also that at the moment mainly because Namecoin is the codebase on which the Xaya project is based).  I do not want to get involved in politics, and also do not want to voice or support any strong opinion about any non-technical issue.
