Acquisitions have to come from capital. Everyone in crypto should agree that generating a super block of coins is out of question.
Why?
Creating additional shares in a business is very common practice. And if done properly and used in a beneficial manner, investors are ok with share dilution because they understand it will lead to greater value of their existing shares.
Now, if you were acquiring a coin, what you care most about is the developer(s). As such, you would set very strict vesting intervals to ensure that the dev continued to work on the coin and reach set goals.
Creating shares and currency are two very different things. One is equity, one is capital. Sure, if you are treating Darkcoin as an investment, then I could see your logic, but at its core, it's currency/commodity and creating something from nothing sets poor precedence. People that understand crypto enjoy the fact that reward structure shouldn't be changing at a whim. Having the kind of centralization aspect of deciding "oh hey, we should absorb this coin by creating 1 million new coins" is ridiculous. It completely changes what crypto stands for. I wasn't against the idea of the SDC merger, I was against the idea of changing the reward structure via superblock. It's completely off the table, regardless of opportunity, to issue new coins. I was against the airdrop back in March/April as well.
