I'm pretty sure the rise in CRW brought attention to TX. Since infernoman joined/got hired to work with/on the CRW project. In fact looking at charts they almost rose at the same time and they both have leveled out at the same time.
in part that's true also, forgot to give credit to CRW and that team, looks like a well started coin.
maybe it's all part of the whole "masternode and built in reward system for developers" rage as we see Decred getting similar pump.
having sustained developer fund built in the blockchain is a pretty good idea since it allows some kind of self improvement funding. no one can work for free forever as seen with infernoman and TX.
now with that said, all the could be the new flavor of the month for alt coin hunters, or maybe on-chain dev reward system is the way to go.
