It would be great if someone would make summed up info about Slim. Why it is awesome and worth to invest and contribute. One opinion I heard: "it's a 2014 coin trying to compete in 2017". We need a short and impressive answer to such things.

Well, there is actually a 2009 coin that still rulez da cryptocurrency world in 2017 (and probably will in 2018, too, if they don't **** it up) Grin

Some of the points I find important I have written up in the Advantages section of slimco.in. But you should already know it because you translated it Wink

The problem is that most of Slimcoin's advantages are a bit more "intellectually challenging" (e.g. the point about the advantage of PoB to encourage long term investing, or the more balanced power structure than in BTC or pure PoS currencies). I think these are, however, important points.

However, you're right that a bit more "ELI5" is needed. We have a wiki here: https://github.com/slimcoin-project/Slimcoin/wiki. We could create an "Advantages ELI5" page there, where everybody can try to "translate" the Advantages section into simpler and shorter language or show practical examples (e.g. how the more balanced power structure would influence discussions like Bitcoin's "scalability debate", or what long-term investment means for stability and long term survival).

Some projects have simple ideas easy to understand for everybody. Like Part devs is working on decentralized market inside the client, with anonymous transactions. Decent distributes content. Iota targets IoT.
