Can someone explain to me what makes Zetacoin so great? There is no one in the IRC, no news, nothing except people hoping the coin rises?

Anything I'm missing? Is there a marketing team? Is there a plan? Any development in progress?

Kinda looks like a shitcoin with a cool name, but how is it planning to compete with Worldcoin/Peercoin etc?

No offense, but I think you're looking at it the wrong way. In my opinion, none of these coins are (or should be) products that need to be marketed heavily to people. At their core, they are open protocols, that can and will be picked up, used and developed further by organizations and individuals as long as they seem useful. I think a lot of people are not entirely convinced that bitcoin's limited supply of no more than 21 million is ideal. Thus they might find zet's solution of +1 million per year after 160 million interesting. Or I hope that's one of the main reasons it's gaining support, not just the name. If a coin is considered useful, it will have third party support. If not, no amount of marketing might not be enough, except for pump'n'dumps.

Now, peercoin has some great qualities as well, I believe, but why worldcoin? I think even bitcoin will have much faster confirmations later when the tech for that is ready, which will make worldcoin completely redundant. Zet still has that eternal inflation, which will not and should not ever be added to bitcoin. There is a scrypt coin that has eternal inflation too, Argentum. They made it 1.1% per year instead of a fixed amount. That's potentially a good solution too, and it's another coin I'm personally following.

EDIT: And of course the eternal inflation is good for rewarding hash rate too, a very important point.

Quark has this as well though.

But Quark is a scrypt coin.
