Any thoughts on this -

... the only one that really concerns me is 1) - is it true to say that the hashing power of the network is getting so large that this issue gets less likely as time passes? -

... the author represents kakigarden - they're positioning themselves as a competitor to Bitcoin - but there seems to be very few details published about what, exactly, they're proposing -

kakigarden:

No longer backed by material scarcity like gold, nor by artificial scarcity like Bitcoin.

sounds like an implementation without the 21M coin limit.

i wonder how the amount of currency is controlled?  centrally?   

not much appeal, with this limited amount of info...

The fact that they're raising funding makes me suspicious already.  A currency immune to Bitcoin's weaknesses will not be competition for Bitcoin.

Unless they have the source code available then its not a bitcoin competitor.
