Anybody else raise a bit of an eyebrow at the "no forks" part of Evan's post? If that can be done, then why did we try to hard fork in the first place? Was the original method really thought through and the best option to pay masternodes selected? Or is there some compromise in implementing forkless payments that is now being ignored becuase of the chaos over the last few days? And then there is the obvious increasing of the masternode incentive (20%, multiple tickets) which I guess is fine... but is also a convenient price lifeboat.

My wallet has remained closed during this mishap and I have no plans to dump any part of my modest stash, but I have a lot of questions right now. Anybody that has any insight (Evan himself is best, but that is hoping for too much) that could answer some of these questions would be appreciated.

Or maybe I am being too skeptical and nobody else sees anything odd here...

no you're not alone. I think it's a bit odd too. Evan could definitely improve on his communication with the community.
But DRK is still the best anonymous coin out there... so let's hope the best Wink

Yeah some of the posts in here reek a little too much of drinking the kool-aid. The roll-out of the masternodes was a major flop regardless of how much you spin the quick recovery--darkcoin's key feature is not working currently. I hope this is treated as a learning opportunity for future releases. Changing the masternode incentives at the expense of everyone else will help the price in the short term, but that's an economic tool you can only use one or two times at most to buoy up the price--miners have to receive something for their contribution as well.
