Trust me CHC has the user base and there are already a good number of chinese exchange there, number of people, involved in bitcoin in china is verry high compared to india with just a few hundred (and yes i know some news report said 2000 but i dont think so) . banking system there are also not that ridgit.
Creating another fork of a alt coin is easy, but the usability , acceptance, and overall new users is hard to gain. if a desi coins is created, the first problem is the people using in india would be low. miners from outside the country would have a instant monopoly on the generation of the coins. hard for exchanges to accept the coin until a certain user numbers are reached. New alternative desi coin can only work once the user base of crypto currency increases. p.s - i'm not a ripple fan.
FTC has 4X the number of coins as Litecoin. making it fare more suitable for transactions on a daily basis.
And also I proposed this as a method to increase the volume of bitcoins in india. once the volume is there, over pricing from sellers would vanish. (oops i think i am making some enemies already).
FTC is new and Can be mined, without people investing in ASIC , or FPGA, mining can be kept with many people, not only the ASIC miners like in bitcoin.
*Question out of topic, why is it that india being one of the largest software industry in the world, still manages to lag being China in terms community driven open source projects?*
