There is an article on Slashdot which attempts to suggest that the core Bitcoin devs have bailed and started their own currency.
http://developers.slashdot.org/story/15/12/28/0515230/core-bitcoin-devs-leave-project-create-new-currency-called-decred
In point of fact, Decred was announced in April 2014, and the "devs" are the authors of btcd, a bitcoind alternative written in Go.
Looks like someone is trying to pump up their comatose altcoin with a misleading press release.

This is pretty insane. What have these Decred guys have to do with G Maxwell etc? The only guys that left to create their own altcoin is Hearn and Gavin, as far as I know the rest aren't considering the stupid idea of leaving and creating an alt. I think it's just more clueless headlines.
