This is the part that Coinhunter just can't seem to comprehend. That he can change the code to anything he desires and the rest of the chain is incapable of resisting. He just doesn't seem to get why that is a major flaw.
No I get what you're saying there, but it also applies to Bitcoin. For instance say the dev team does something you don't like, some forking change. Now you say others can resist it, so let's say bitcoin splits in 2, 50% who support the devs, 50% who support the old way. What if mtgox supports the devs? Did you know who owns the bitcoin trademarks, copyright, website, etc? Anyone who disagrees with THOSE people and wants to continue bitcoin "Like it is now" will get shut down.
So the same threat exists in Bitcoin. The same solution exists in SolidCoin. If I'm "killed by the feds", one of the other SolidCoin people can create new keys and the network will continue. I'm also not the only trust node so it would still continue for quite some time even without me in the current format. A year or three.
I understand people don't like others having "control" over something, but we have goals in SolidCoin that we want to achieve, we're against the banks as they exist today and we're against governments impinging on our freedoms. If you agree with those 2 main things you can be safe in knowing where we are going with SolidCoin, the rest are just small details which should be sorted out by "someone".
