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.
I lurk several hours a day but this was enough to make me post. I hate the idea of minting new coins. We can not set this precedent. There is already enough fud regarding centralization and drk and minting new coins outside of what is already predetermined is a horrible move and should be against everything the crypto community stands for. I love the idea for a merger, but there has to be a better way. Maybe users and the dev team donates their funds to make this happen but we can not mint new coins just for this. Where does it stop? This a demonstration of to much central control.
