Is a bridge in fact needed? Assuming one is, does Bitstar coin have any feature that would make it more suitable than others for that role?
BTW, genuine questions - I have a stack of Bits myself

Sometimes, just being at the right place at right time with the right people (developers / community) is all that's needed.
It also helps that BITS has been around quite a while now and has been very stable with a calm & patient community.
