This update is truly another proof that XDN is the most advanced cryptonote coin.
I simply don't understand the lack of interest of the community for DigitalNote.
Congrats Dev for your hard work.
If I had to guess, I would say the very fast emission in conjunction with the name changes.
Imagine that Bitcoin launched with Satoshi having mined 80+% of all coins that would ever exist, rather than 5% or so. Then, a few months later, a series of forks were launched with different emission parameters, different names, and maybe slightly different technology. One of those coins, let's call it SuperFunJumBucks, decided to emit over 85% of all coins that would ever exist in 3 months, while it was pretty unknown, had low community interest, and a silly name. Then SuperFunJumBucks decided to change its name to SecretDarkStealthDollars, and at the same time added some interesting messaging technology; it was still pretty unknown at this point, but during these next few "dark" months it emitted another 8 or 9% of the total that would ever exist to take the emission curve near to completion. Now, it decides to change its name again to VerySeriousHighTechNotes, and adds some other very interesting tech such as locking coins with interest, and maybe in the future Proof-of-activity, more messaging features etc.
IMO, this is essentially the situation Digitalnote finds itself in. If you were interested in the tech behind the coin, why not just fork it, or buy/mine a fork that has a slower emission schedule (bitcedi, for instance), so you don't have to worry about some (the?) early miner dumping 50+% of all coins that will ever exist at some point? (This is not to mention the Monero research paper that suggests if there is some entity controlling a large percentage of the utxo set, that they can deanonymize others ring txs.)
