The founder coins101 was a developer for Spreadcoin. The Spreadcoin project is still being managed by georgem. He still responds to tech support questions but I haven't seen an update on the prject. From what I understand, the testnet is still alive with MN and SN. I think Helium has a better vision and let's face it, a better name. But given the way the project is gaining momentum, I'm not risking the opportunity to get 1000 Helium so I already bought my Spreadcoin. I just have to keep my fingers crossed. Depending on the difficulty, I'll have to decide what to mine, Helium or Dash. I have confidence in both Dev teams.
What I don't get is how Helium is any different from Dash? Seems like a knockoff to me.

Dash seeks to do what Bitcoin failed to do, be the main digital transaction system. Dash's focus is getting to a very efficient blockchain that can handle millions of transactions per minute while using very little electricity.
Helium seeks to be a blockchain service that both acts as a currency and a way to manage data flow for companies that want blockchain services. Since it is decentralized, Helium can have as many clients as it has service nodes. So Helium can expand as fast as the market allows.
So Dash is money, buy groceries or PC parts online. Helium is more like Ethereum, serving business needs and B2B needs. Given how hot blockchain tech is now, I think they'll have clients lined up to get node service.
