OK - let me begin by saying that I have been holding MNE since the first time it hit ~60 cents, and I have not sold a single token. I also believe MNE has a lot of growing to do, both feature and price-wise. So I don't say this to FUD, but to genuinely ask:
Why the hell is it necessary to create an entirely new token to deliver on the original promise of MNE? MNE was always advertised as a "self mining" token, which I personally believe is a total misnomer, since only genesis addresses release "new" MNE. I have seen countless people expecting to "self mine" by holding MNE, which, honestly, isn't a crazy expectation given how this has been marketed.
Why do we need an entirely new token to allow staking/PoS/dividend payouts/whatever you want to call it, instead of adding an additional smart contract to handle payouts? I can't see any incentive for a current MNE holder, let alone a genesis address holder, to trade their MNE for this new coin. You are essentially trading cash on hand now, for the potential of this new coin to someday be equal to or greater than MNE in value. Let's not forget the issue of it even getting on exchanges. I understand that we do not know all of the details of this new token, so I will reserve the rest of my judgement. However, this strikes me as an unnecessary fork at best, and damaging to the main product at worst.
I personally believe that expanding the token creation service and improving the distribution of MNE among the public is what will continue to give this project value, so I am happy that the dev is working on this and providing new ideas. However, I am genuinely confused about the direction of Minereum at this point, given this impending "fork" and the focus on the MNE world app. I do not see the current roadmap promises adding much value to Minereum, beyond the speculative purchases of people who see a low supply/market cap coin.
Am I missing something here? I want to see the vision.
