You're operating under several incorrect pretenses. Handshake works with the existing DNS. "The guy who ruined Freenode" had a minor part in the creation of Handshake but does not control it. The core developers of Handshake are still active.

Sorry, but my best friend was one of the core developers who left. I have heard tons of stories that the public has not. Another core dev died. I said several, not all... Yes, handshake can work alongside, technically, but the leadership did not want to, in practice

  "Leadership" should be used extremely loosely. Imagine the first droplets of a puddle. Sure, the water is there but it doesn't dictate the spread. "In practice" is irrelevant to how Handshake is working right now. I'm not here to convince you of the merits of Handshake, you clearly don't see nor care for it. Just clarifying facts over opinion. EDIT: FWIW, I don't know who your best friend is but JJ remaining a part of Handshake is a major plus in my book. I personally don't find Andrew Lee (there are two in the Handshake story, we're talking about the Freenode one though) palatable and have clashed with him on occasion. Jackasses exist everywhere but IMHO, good people outnumber them by a massive margin.

    That's a good thing, when a project in this space keeps jugging along because a diverse group of keep believing and working, it becomes a testament to the decentralization and value of its core idea.

      sorry for the typos, I meant jogging along and diverse group of people. (i.e. diversity through a constant stream of people parting and joining, which is positive because it prevents stagnation and opens up space for new ideas and evolutions)
