There is no full information of what happened on their side. It looks like it was something like that, but I believe that part of the SDC team may not have been completely aware of everything. Anyway, when things turned ugly here, Evan called it off before their announcement, so it doesn't matter what they think or want, it is not gonna happen.

Did you see their discussion with XC guys? Check my post history, I quote some of it, they just tried to use Evan's knowledge and bait him before choosing XC in order to pump their stuff with XC guys.Not people I'd like to see on the team.

The sdc devs didn't want to do it. They want to go their own way - fair enough.The darkcoin community was against issuing a superblock to increase the supply and payoff the sdc marketcap. Very very opposed. And I believe rightfully.If we continue this momentum for a while your friend will prob join us of his own accord

The way I look at it is we were trying to buy a couple of Devs for $500k. Quite an expensive way of doing it really, especially when you read stuff like this from the lead dev rynomster at SDC:Both the SDC and XC sides come across childish and unprofessional. We need devs with maturity and integrity to lead Darkcoin. A marriage with SDC would inevitably lead to disagreements, arguments, egotistical volatility and divorce. All of which would be messy and distract us from our core aims.Walter

Unreliable, untrustworthy, you name it. Yesterday morning someone bought 5000 DRK on Crypsty. Unheard of in the past weeks and days. An hour or two later the proposed merger was leaked. The two individual's names in that screen shot come up as unreliable people all over these forums in any matter related to crypto coins. Thank goodness this merger was nipped in the bud. You would have been bringing on aboard a veritable sieve into what is the tightest iron clad privacy issue currently being constructed today.

Don't over readThe reason for this movement was not fear. The reason was a saturated market with hundreds of altcoins with developers not working together. I really believe that in the near future we won't have so many coins. Most will just vanish, but this was an attempt to try a different path. Something not tried before that could benefit everyone.As for why SDC, obviously Evan thought part of the team was talented. The community seemed strong, with some values aligned with ours. Also, their size seemed right.

Yes indeed.What worries me is that when XC, CLOAK, VERI and all that stuff came along, Evan didn't bat an eyelid.Yet when SDC appears he suddenly wants to "merge" with them ?Why would he even suggest just a drastic move only in this particular case ?He must think they're onto something.If ever there was an invitation to hedge your DRK investment you can't really beat an endorsement from its own developer. I've already acted accordingly.
