ive been looking into potential investments and having done research have bought a few Bitcoins worth of Bitbay. I see its the coin David Zimbeck is in charge of and I see he is creating the 1st decentralized market for the 2 Halo coins (blackcoin and Bitbay). So these two coins at this point will have the same "add-ons". So i am correct in saying both coins should have the same marketcap in theory? Also if Bitbay is Davids coin surly it should be higher in marketcap than Blackcoin as Davids work has made Blackcoin what it is and Bitbay is his coin!?, as apose to him just working on projects for Blackcoin!

I would be interested what peoples opinions are on this. Im not trying to cause an trouble or wind up the blackcoin community its a genuine question . . . . .

If you want to credit a single person, only rat4s work has made BLK what it is, david develops stuffs that requires a fully developed, working coin. He has close to nothing to do with the development of the coin itself.

Bitbay does not "deserve" a similar market cap for the simple reason that it is a pure clone coin AND has no "coin developer" at all who could improve the technology behind it (David did admit that very frankly several times.). BlackHalo is a great piece of software but a tool like Halo is also something that is very different from the mechanics that make a coin work in the first place.
BTW, Before David took over BitBay started not only as a 100% clone coin with nothing unique to it but was intentionally created as a vehicle for a big ICO scam.

I own a lil bit of both but unlike BitBay I have the feeling that BlackCoin is at a standstill, I don't even know whether there is ANYTHING going on behind the scenes right now. If they are however still working on BlackCoin it has potential to become a top 3 coin....

You should take a look at the official github repository and check the commits. PoS 3.0 is in development, release date has not been announced yet though. There's also still a lot of "side projects" going on but it is certainly not the time of the year where you can expect lots of activity.
