So eh, what do you mean "merging Bitcoin with other p2p projects"?
Like Bitcoin+Bittorrent?!
Yes, it's a possibility.
Bitcoin is a software that usually need to stay open and running all the time to generate coins.
So I thought that there are other software that need the same, P2P clients.
There are also other possibilities, like chat clients ( scripted mirc ) and many more.
So I thought that it should be a good idea to make it easy to integrate it with some of them.
Develop it like a lib it's a really good idea, and I hope that main devs will think about it.
"build the official-p2p-currency" for what? Warez4Bitcoinz?
This isn't the object of discussion.
You shouldn't care about what THEY ( p2p devs ) are going to do with bitcoins.
Bitcoin is an object, like a car and an usual p2p client.
You can do good and bad things with them ( bitcoin/p2p/car/knife/... )
