Yep, I did a post about Pirate Chain back when I first found it a few months ago, and then another one recently when I learned about various centralization and other concerns.

ZIL is a HUGE project doing what it sounds like etho is trying to do, they're also the only competitor for ICANN when it comes to TLDNS, at least as far as I know.

I stay away from Komodo and Komodo-related projects for the most part, being such a centralized chain, with such a scammy launch.
