why don't they just join DRK instead... not need another coin

never heard of shadowcoin before
The proposal merges the two coins and they'll keep whatever stake they had, but in Darkcoin instead. It's the first "coin-merge" to ever happen in crypto.
Hopefully this is not intended at a 1 to 1 ratio?
No, there's a conversation rate between ShadowCash/DRK to keep the same value.
If I have the right to vote as a Darkcoin community member, I am strongly supporting the merger between ShadowCash and Darkcoin. BUT can we agree on gradual payment in Dark versus one time lump sum payment? or perhaps 50% lump sum and the rest gradual? even better option would be if they agree to set up masternodes with their Darkcoins
