For the benefit of anyone stumbling onto this thread...
2) But.... florincoin is a good long term coin. Data coins will probably do well and florin has a lot of positives.
I agree with this.
3) But... the 'block tech' thing looks dubious. It does not look like a project with real commercial possibilities. Rather it looks like part of a florin pump.
I disagree with this, although I can understand why you might think it without hands-on access to what Devon and BlockTech are working on. However, Alexandria is a real thing (I'm in the alpha) and it is
extremely cool.
It's been in development for the better part of a year and has huge potential for content publishers and consumers alike. The beta starts pretty soon so you'll be able to check it out yourself; I'll also be recording video tutorials on using it once it's in a more finalized form. I'm only doing that because the project itself has value.
It's not about being "extremely cool".
The Pirate Bay Business Model worked for about 10 years (anon, ad supported, free torrents)...
And had about 50,000,000 unique visitors/month until Hollywood lawyers broke it up.
Alexandria uses almost the exact opposite Business Model (pay-as-you-go, minimal anon, your mom's Pirate Bay)...
As currently described, the most likely result = Hollywood will ruthlessly shut it down.
