its a shame that we as community cant take the time to discuss this properly with more details and more time now we have talked it over in like 10 minutes and brushed it away. I'm not saying i'm for or against the proposal but i would have liked more time to discuss it.

Agreed. I also jumped (supporting) this move with my PR hat on, but than I started to think some more...

You have the power to do so? Isn't crypto all about decentralization and math-based consensus to a (relatively) immutable basic protocol? I realize we are still in the development stages of DRK and consequently Evan has an unusual amount of power (e.g. enforcement), but this is a real reach. One person creating more coins in direct contravention of the basic protocol? If Evan can create more coins any time he wishes, how is he any different than the Federal Reserve?

was a very interesting take. I was already writing my musings but than Evan called it off so it would be a moot point.

But this is was a nice shock for the community - I LOVE to see so much passion and so many articulate opinions.

As the core idea of the merger was to acquire more developers. Let's start drumming up ideas how we can onboard new talent to the darkcoin team. There needs to be some sort of incentive or clever marketing to weed out some of the good devs

This is the key issue. I was thinking what would happen if Evan wasn't a brilliant guy but some prick who would, outvoted by the community, drop out? Is Darkcoin strong enough at this point to survive? I think not. What say you?
