The thing that gets me about Pillar is that immediately after the ICO they posted a contest to design the wallet they said they were planning... Anyway, maybe it'll be worthwhile sometime in the future... but not for a while.
Reggie Middleton and Veritaseum Co. have put so much work into VERI. Not only is its development way further ahead, it has some tangible elements that other players in the crypto-space don't have. Patents Pending for the P-2-P capital markets, JSE-type deals here/forthcoming, low trading float. Can't wait to watch the Veritization of financial instruments.
VERI's going to be revolutionary.
