duckNote has been good to me, made about 0.8 BTC off it and still own about a gazillion. That said, I don't see any CN coin as serious competition, none of the cloners understand the code and the original devs were pretty sloppy anyway from what I can see.

I really don't see many new DRK clones appearing after open source, DRK's strength is the MN network, you can't clone that. I think open source *is* going to absolutely, exponentially grow the DRK ecosystem though - ten thousand eyes spotting and fixing bugs, more new and innovative code than Evan can comfortably review alone, and a thousand startups monetising MNs both for themselves and MN ops.

I believe a bigger upcoming problem will be preventing MN bolt-ons from screwing with existing MN functionality, if only through bringing crappy underspec'd VPS machines to their knees. What's needed is a vetting and licencing system maybe for 3rd party apps?

Not sure about a licensing system. I would prefer that we simply kick out the misbehaving MNs. If owners install things on top they should be responsible to know what they do or get themselves kicked out.

You're right. Licensing would confer official approval and therefore potential legal liability, thus should be avoided.
