testbug,
it's a good initiative. I hope you will succeed to convince this person to become the new dev of fedoracoin.
The potential of this coin is very huge.
Yes indeed, TIPS have a very huge potential, the network is so super fast.
We need to gather as strong community for pushing TIPS to the limits and beyond. The price compared to last year is much more attractive, even daytrading is possible @ the current spread on bter.
But as SEABOND mentioned, bter is just to unreliable... We need another exchange. Cryptsy was good, but now i also think that cryptsy and all of our coins are gone forever.
