I like the Gemini Protocol, but — I think too many of the other small-net protocols try to mimick Gemini.
I think things would be better in some ways if — those so inclined to create a new small-net protocol would be more creative (rather than conforming to the patterns that the Gemini Protocol has used or established).
Sure, you can accept the small-net values, but — try something new, as far as designing a protocol goes.
