I registered the #Zirkcoin IRC as I was worried about it being open for "anyone" to take.
I have invested 10,000 ZIRK so far, with mining and buying over the past week or so.
The reason I like this coin is because of the pretty much spot on amount of coins mined during the POW phase.
I used to be a Reddcoin supporter at one point but then realised that many of the new users are not going to stick around long when the client says 128 days to stake mine a block!
Zirkcoin with a much smaller amount of coins and 100% interest means that new users who might only be able to afford a smaller amount of ZIRK will still start seeing reasonable stake times and so will be less likely to dump their or most of their coins.
I was also worried about the lack of a website aimed more at newer members to the Crypto world so I registered Zirkcoin.org and put up a basic website and all the links are the original ones from the Zirk team.
I did this not to control anything but to actually support a coin that I like and that is not my own.
Some users will know that I made a promise to give back to the community as a whole due to a mistake in the past that will never happen again so I am hosting the zirkcoin.org domain at my own cost just to help get the coin noticed by the general public etc.
If I can manage to release a crazy basic Biebercoin Scrypt Litecoin clone that I released and get it on the Cryptopia exchange, paired against Litecoin, HTML5coin and Popularcoin then what I may lack in technical development skills, I make up for in being able to promote and market a Crypto-Currency.
I am around if the Zirkcoin Dev or Dev's need me to help promote or market their coin (for free of course) and help to get it onto exchanges.
