I've been following this all very closely from the start of BTCD.
In 7 weeks James' coin went from 4k satoshi (or less) to 1.58 million satoshi.
And it has held it's ground the entire way.
For that project, and the others such as the SuperNET, the creativity level and energy levels are clearly off the charts.

There is always risk in Crypto. As is in life.
I think this kind of innovation should be supported and rewarded.
