You are talking abt an only two month's old coin. The potential is there and this can be proven by its 4 active devs. I agree that there are not a lot of things differentiating it from Monero yet (although there are some differentiating features already ) however if you follow the coin carefully and join the telegram group as well, you will find out by yourself that there are a lot of innovative features on the way. The good thing abt this coin is that nothing is announced before it is fully developed and thoroughly checked ( check the case with the improved difficulty algo for example )
Alright... my interest is piqued. I've read through the thread but don't want to search or review it -- how does one go about joining the Telegram group, again? (Perhaps this information can be added to the first page/announcement of the thread.)
By the way, the difficulty and hash rate increased sharply today (perhaps there has been a greater interest in Sumo recently). For example, from within the daemon at the moment (using the diff command), the hash rate is 2.57 MHz and the diff is about 617 million. The crazy thing is the pools have hash rates of 122kHz + 223 kHz + 35 kHz, totalling 380 kHz, So, the bulk of the network hash rate is a lot of folks solo-mining (totaliing 2570 - 380 = 2190 kHz = 2.19 MHz)??
