Dankseed certification also includes the process of finding the best possible source. It is much more than just the transfer of the DAT, and any sources are welcome. Finding the best source is often a much more exhaustive process that the danking of the seed. Dankseeds was also started to help "repair" flawed seeds that were already in circulation.

I always get a chuckle when I see a text file with the powerful language: "dankseed certification given on xx/xx/2000" or whatever. Then the criteria that brother crow so aptly explains are listed. But why isn't there ever any discussion in the so-called "dankseed" process as to How the Tape Sounds? Admittedly, all of the criteria a tape must undergo to receive this "certification" is good stuff to take note of, but how can something be a "dankseed" without even a comment on the overall quality of the recording? It seems that you could have a tape from a rig that was set up in the bathroom of the club that might sound like crap but still pass the "dankseed certification process." I don't mean this as too much of a jab at the dankseed folks (I am 100% confident that they are trying to let people know that a "dankseed" can safely be downloaded as a good source), but I'd like to hear what they have to say about this.
