that's exactly the questions I asked in their thread, glad you posted a thread to discuss it. thanks.
I have this question myself for some time, I saw your message in their thread. It's better have a separate thread to discuss it.
I would suggest you look at XC's Dev, Dan Metcalf's resume, and see that he is quite capable of what he says. Also, you will have a nice shot at a very nice bounty very soon with the 3.0 release and a look at the whitepaper coming out soon.
