AlexGR, the cool thing about Evan is he doesn't seem to care about dropping his previous work! The second he sees a better way to do something, he just does it! Old code out the window, on to better things.
It's not easy to drop solutions you've already worked for. It requires an agile mind to ditch a personal work effort in favor of something else - even if what you want to adopt is superior and it would be a no-brainer not to do it.
The normal operating pattern of the mind is to do the exact opposite, which is usually counterproductive. However, in some cases, there might be a way to integrate the past and the new solution into something even better.
There is a bit of danger in that we've bought into Evan as much as we have Darkcoin!.
Not that bad...

Evan, aside from working on the coin, is also invested in it. So DRK's success is his success in more than one ways - including money. Therefore the motive to excel in what he does is there for him and by extension the same motive will also generate profit for the rest of the investors / miners / speculator (that's us).
Having said that, being successful financially is more than simply attaining a good market cap for DRK and increasing our net worth. A good marketcap can come through artificial means but enduring success is what will lead to a good marketcap
that is also supported by fundamentals.
There are two approaches to success... Go for tricks like promotion and snake oil tactics and then cash-out during the peak or do a solid job, write history, aaaand have the fundamentals ensure a long-term success.
