do you think this is utilitycoin?
utilitycoin failed and they use the stuff for this?

I believe he was referring to and questioning the utility of Decred in the sense that it's useful or beneficial for something. So he was thinking about ways to use Decred.

Correct, it was Decred's main utility that I was inquiring about/offering up as a suggestion/example.

Strangely enough, I was able to read through the negs, giving the quasi-PR some balance, couple with you folks further in the limelight to address more concerns from us "monumental assholes".

Since I've yet to read what Decred's main utility is (if there is one), may I offer up a suggestion?: Entities except Decred when they are offering a 30% or more off sale on their products or services, or as a sole means to enjoy said discounts. Whether the idea flies or not, I'm strongly toying with accepting Decred for my forthcoming project where patrons paying with Ď will enjoy an immediate 30% discount on their purchases (predicated on I'm able to easily convert to other currencies if choose to do so, perhaps publicly displaying that at least X% (15%?) is held to show support).
great idea and much needed direction. For sure it will be popular.

Just searched and realized that I was the first to pen 'utility' in this thread.

"Monumental assholes" are welcome in the project, so long as they bring logical, reasonable, and evidence-based discussion on the issues they want to address. The point raised about the negative comments is that no attempt was made to interact with people posting here and elsewhere prior to making definitive statements. That is not good.

You should do this for sure. All projects interested in stepping up and running their own initiatives like these will get support insofar as possible. If it is to the benefit of the community, it's contributory, and will enjoy support.

Cointelegraph article "Decred: An Innovative Cryptocurrency or a Well Arranged Scam?": http://cointelegraph.com/news/115972/decred-an-innovative-cryptocurrency-or-a-well-arranged-scam

Saw that earlier. Pretty saddened by the fact that the article is generally positive but all the quotes are quite hateful. ETH, NXT, and BitNation (Swarm too) with so much fire from out of nowhere. Very surprising since Decred isn't taking any money from anyone, but all those projects did before code was even written - and yet Decred is the scam. Really don't want to be a dick about it, but that was quite harsh, especially without talking to anyone involved in the project or the community forming here for example.

Happy new year friends! Thanks to everyone who carefully answers the questions of the users in this thread, that's great. At present the concern is only the distribution of coins, many believe that the developers take too much at the start of the coins and every block mined as well. I have some thoughts on the matter. If the developers are diligent, it can help keep course coins without many mining rigs. I think that the developers are primarily interested in increasing the value of the coin, because of their desire to receive funding from each block are in general justified. However, if the price of the coin in the future will be very high, say 10+ dollars, or even higher, then 10% of each block seem an incredibly large sum on an annual basis. But again, the developers indicated that all the important questions about the development of coins boudot be decided by the community of coin holders, I hope it also applies to the distribution of shares in blocks.

my magic is growing strong[er]

This is presented as an "intention of stewardship" and will be judged against deliverables, instead of taking people's money and making lots of potentially-empty promises. There's no claim it's a perfect system, it's an alternative model that will explore new areas in both technology and governance, but hopefully this post sheds light on the stewardship process and issues raised.

Looking at Group Contribution Timeline in OP, let me mention that 'intention of stewardship' has started a considerable time ago and weighs heavily already IMO. > GO
