Here's the problem, this bombastic idea that you're laying out is just a copy of PIVX and BitBean.
You're copying BitBean for DAPSCORE, and you're even copying BitBean's supply of 50 billion. You're copying PIVX for the zerocoin protocol, as well as the masternode and the see-saw mechanism. You didn't even create a brand new coin, but instead took PeepCoin to leverage its community and convert them over to your project. Just like StrongHands is a worse version of Peercoin, DAPS is gunning to be a worse version of PIVX and BitBean.
There's nothing original with what you're trying to do, and on top of that you've admitted what was already obvious from that lack-luster roadmap which is that barely anything has been concretely determined with DAPS yet. I would have been embarassed to even post that graphic as a roadmap, and you better bet that whitepaper of yours is going to be compared against the PIVX, Bitcoin, and other relevant whitepapers for plagiarism, since everything to this point appears to be stolen, from PeepCoin to all of the DAPS ideas.
You want to know how ridiculous that premine and 5% developer fee sound like? Bean Cash is selling for 1 cent a coin right now. If you had a billion Bean Cash you'd have over 10 million dollars; 5% block rewards net you over 27 million coins a year, or roughly $270,000/year.
Like I said, people will buy because they want money and they don't know any better, but you're doing a disservice by associating yourself with the same team that disgracefully took over StrongHands. You sound like a logical person, and no one on that StrongHands team could make half the post that you just made, so I'm assuming you aren't a part of that project.
People have created scam coins where the website itself admits to being a scam and people still buy the coin, so don't mistake that as some type of success, because people will buy anything in this market.
Also, bitcoinbabys has implied that DAPS is a company from the start, and he just might end up being your downfall:

It's not a copy! It's inspiration! It's about using good ideas that have been used before and implementing them in a new system. I admit that alot of the details aren't up to snuff with what we would consider the level of other teams, atleast not yet. That's what trying to get people to the project is about, to draw minds and create a culture that wants to deliver something with honesty at it's heart. Many things are up to modification because it hasn't been thought of in a way that I think gives the ideas a proper service. I think that open, honest, frank discussion is best for any coin and it's development. If you think things here need a shakeup let's do it, I'm all ears, I love the constructive criticism because it means that you care enough about communities to even mention it.
There is obviously no corporate structure in any way to any of the Peepcoin or DAPS development, it's open source, free and volunteer. I made it clear that changing that was important so as to not give that impression.
And you are correct in assuming that I am not a part of stronghands, I am not. Never was, never will be. I don't like coins with the massive supply it has, to be completely honest with you. I was originally interested in Peepcoin primarily because it has 50 billion coins. Then I learned it has a solid codebase, that being libzerocoin. I also learned along the way that the community is passionate, if not the most professional group of people. I think this is a sensible, real, progressive project that may help push the boundary on things and help spread outreach of cryptocurrency as a whole. You have to remember that all of what we do and will do is open source, free for anyone to partake in, and the licenses are all preserved as such. There is no copyright on the idea of blockchain protocols (atleast the ones we're using in these circles..), they invite people to use and modify them, and even build on it!
On the topic of Bitbean and the premine, etc, Bitbean has 2.5 billion coins, not 50 billion. They had an issue with the original developer scamming but he ended up not holding Beans by the end of the period when they truly took hold. That's a bit different with Peepcoin, as there is the "what if" of the old dev returning and using his wallet. The Fork-swap is a stopgap measure to try to make it even harder for him to destroy value if this project truly does have legs in the future. I don't know any other way to address it, but if you have ideas I'm once again willing to listen.
The maximum Peepcoin possibly that could swap is 50+ billion, as of right now. The "new" premine would be 1 billion, compared to current Peepcoin's 39 billion. It addresses a couple of things like the inflation and the chain being extremely bloated and also allowed to upgrade the whole system to a modern privacy system. The idea is to create value for Peepcoin holders longer term than what the original developer ever did here.
I dunno. Maybe I am a dreamer, too ambitious, and I see this as an honest project out of naivete. But I invite you to please give me more input. I enjoy it. I want to help these guys on the path to success, like other community-led revivals like PIE and Bitbean accomplished. A mind for criticism is a mind that I like. You can probably tell by a lot of my skeptical posts on this forum in the past of other similar projects like what I'm involved with here. I love this community and the idea of pushing the threshold for other coins.
Also if the dev fund was ever worth that much I would be surprised, honestly
I plan to have no direct role in the actual DAPS Core or Foundation, if that assuages any fears you have of me being misguided in what I'm doing here. I am simply a large holder of Peepcoin who wants to see this coin evolve and thrive. I consider myself an adviser and a coordinator of some aspects like the fixing of the "corporate" image which was very obviously created with zeal in mind and thought second along with handling social media to make it all follow a set of guidelines so things aren't pumpy. This project isn't about that.Also, I'm sorry I forgot to mention it in all of this, but the DAPS whitepaper (if you so wish to call it that, more of a "what we plan to try to implement" paper) will be available for peer review tonight. I want people to look at it and judge it on it's face. It's hard to find people in the know, so if you're an engineer or some sort of crypto-expert, contact me, I'll send it to you, you can laugh at me, it'll be a great time. We don't wanna put out the whitepaper without the website so I wanna let it get bounced off some minds before it's live.
I hope you have time to send me personal messages, because I think a lot about the problems that face a lot of the coins today.
You're aware we're the ones who will be updating the wallet, so you can even use your Peepcoins, correct?
