I wouldn't go as far as to compare the minds behind ICOs to the people involved on LKML. The linux kernel developers that have jumped ship from LKML to bitcoin can be found on the bitcoin-dev mailing list: https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/bitcoin-dev https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/bitcoin-d... Also, bitcoin/linux developers should not be blamed for these ICOs -- many of these schemes are totally unrelated and would just as easily be using centralized databases for their shares. Altcoins exploded in 2013 with their initial offerings listed here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=159.0 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=159.0 .. and since then you can go look up "ERC20" and find some Slack stuff.
