I would like to assert (again) that I do not believe that the SDC dev team is implicated in any of this.
I also think their tech is legit. And Ryno is a nice guy in my experience.
They just have some disgusting hangers-on who, for one reason or another, appear to have some degree of influence over strategic decisions (like leaving the Blocknet).
And I would like to assert (again) that if you take a look at sdc thread will see the admin keeps all messages containing fud against other currencies, but deletes all the answers of the supporters of these coins, even those that are merely explanatory and contains nothing against sdc.
