At least there is a new dev team working on StartJOIN now, and according to Karl Gray there should be an update about this on Saturday.
So things are starting to move in the right direction again. The coin price seems like an extreme bargain at the moment.
Progress on Karl Gray's funding initiatives to push Startcoin into the Stratosphere is certainly good news. I would agree with you about the bargain price, although I'm focusing on what the price could be next year.
Bitcoin will soon be unprofitable for most people to mine. Only large corporations will be able to afford the vast computing power necessary. Bitcoin's Blockchain has already exceeded 4Tb and predicted to mushroom to 25Tb in a short space of time. Question: When Bitcoin becomes 'centralised', as it inevitably will, who is going to step in to fill its shoes?
My bet is that Startcoin will, backed by Simon Dixon and BnkToTheFuture's vast computing power - have you seen the massive mining farm he has? - AND Karl Gray's millions - Oh and Max Keiser's marketing ability. Quite a powerful combination don't you think?
