Over 90% of the threads I have found via searching have usually involved lots and lots of flames. Is there some kind of hard reason for all of it? >_>

Probably because they hate the idea of having their money forcibly taken from them? Just a thought.

I'm not sure, but maybe it's because the foundation (whoever that is) gets an 80%-cut of all block-rewards,
or maybe it's because of the 4.89% annual demurrage.

I don't get it, why would I mine a block, if someone else get's 80% of the reward for doing nothing?
Why would I want a Coin, that loses value everyday? If I want that, I can just stick to fiat.

Not that I'm flaming, or hating or anything, I just don't get it.

Yeah, demurrage is a really bad idea.

I know the proponents say "but Worgl!", and I respond that the Worgl experiment didn't run long enough to prove that the idea had any value. It also would have needed to be tested in competition with as many other currency ideas as the market would have provided but it didn't - it was only tested against a failing fiat currency.
