some discussion from irc room #GAIAcoin:
[18:49] <@covertress> everyone see this update from RagingBull? >>
https://twitter.com/gaia_coin/status/626687357178220544[18:49] <@covertress> GAIA will be doing a coin swap
[18:49] <@covertress> New wallets/chain with added tech.
[18:51] <@GameGear> wait what?!?
[18:54] <VashTheStampede> O.o
[18:54] <VashTheStampede> interesting
[18:54] <VashTheStampede> wonder what gaia will be based on next
[18:57] <@GameGear> i dont like that
[18:57] <@GameGear> why do this whole coin swap
[18:57] <@GameGear> its not needed
[18:58] <@GameGear> its gunna REALLY fuckup the tipbot
[18:58] <VashTheStampede> screw a coin swap
[18:58] <VashTheStampede> not good
[18:58] <VashTheStampede> fork instead would be better
[18:58] <@GameGear> ^^^^^
[18:58] <VashTheStampede> BOOOO
[18:58] <@GameGear> Why ruin a stable coin?
[18:58] <@GameGear> this is going to be like BTC rebranding to Doge
[... .....]
[19:09] <@GameGear> why redo something thats not broke?
[19:09] <@GameGear> its stable as f*
[19:09] <@covertress> yeah... but there are plans to do more with it... that cannot be done in it's present config
[19:09] <@GameGear> rebrands usually DIE off within a few months cause of the chaos the swaps cause
[19:09] <@covertress> this is not a rebrand
[19:10] <@covertress> see RagingBull's post on bct >>
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=807698.new#new[19:12] <@GameGear> i REALLY hate coins w/ masternodes.... WHY give the rich an upper hand?
[19:13] <@covertress> idk what you mean
[19:13] <@covertress> what *is a masternode?
[19:13] <@GameGear> basically just a node that you get more intrest on your stakes
[19:14] <@covertress> hmm, don't think that will be the case. GAIA is 5% interest. period.
[19:14] <@GameGear> "we would like to add to GAIA include full anonymous TX, Masternodes, and streaming media."
[19:14] <@covertress> yes, but I don't think masternodes will earn more, just help to make the chain more stable (jimo)
[19:15] <@GameGear> hopefully
[19:15] <@covertress> we REALLY need to discuss this with RagingBull
