If you're pointing out opinions, then your opinion is discussing something like this in the open means us appearing insecure, unsure, lacking direction and lacking cohesion. That's your opinion on the matter and not the only that matters (much like you directed at my opinion). You can't compare discussing an open source project with its community to a business contemplating reinventing itself. One is community driven (open source), the other isn't. Further, Darkcoin is a currency (and to that point, a commodity), at least that's its initial mandate--it's not a business entity, even if you earn interest from running masternodes. The core purpose of Darkcoin to exist is for a medium of exchange (and a store of value being deflationary after the POW period).
