This CMC is -a- way to benchmark one coin against others. Each may decide for himself how valuable this tool is and how comparable one coin is to others.
Just for fun go to CMC, click on [Coins] and select Filter_Non-Minable, Gulden ranks differently there, for what it's worth.
The PoW reward reduction by 20% will be a welcome bonus with this already incredible update. Scrypt miners have neglected Gulden, a coin that is giving their hardware a future. 90% of the coins that were on scrypt have moved off but thanks to the Dev teams brilliant DELTA algorithm Gulden didn't need to go Full PoS, Multi Algo, Merge Mining, change algorithm etc.
