You're welcome my friend!
Well for anyone that did get into HotShot when I posted this would be very happy now as the price has since gone up from around 1300 sats to close to 3k sats and is now currently trading at around 2400 sats. The team has just launched their HotDex exchange which I'm sure will be a success as they plan to have the cheapest listing fee on the market and also they give projects the opportunity to list for free by voting.
Yes I looked at x42 and I like what I see, thanks for the tip mate!
Glad to be of help to you. Honestly, I believe that HotShot is quite a bargain these days, as well as, other prominent PoS cryptocurrencies. It's the perfect opportunity to buy some more coins, for better staking rewards. Being a huge supporter of decentralized exchanges myself, I consider them to be the future of crypto trading.
As for x42, I believe that it needs more marketing/promotion, to get noticed within the crypto sector. Its advantages are numerous (like being feeless and extremely fast) but if people are not aware of its existence, it won't be rising that much in price. I'd recommend that if you stake x42 or any other PoS coin, you should divide your balance into multiple transactions by using the "Coin Control" feature (look for more info on Google). This will allow you to optimize your wallet for better and constant staking rewards.
Nonetheless, it's good to know the variety of options to choose from, as they can allow us to build our own passive income in many ways. So far, my favorites are: StakeNet, x42, Bean Cash, PIVX, HotShot, and Magi. But there are other good old PoS coins (like Peercoin) which are worth looking at.

Yeah I agree that HotShot is a bargain right now at the current price. I actually paid a lot more then what its currently trading at but I'm okay with that as the stakes have been coming in daily at a nice consistent rate. And also the dev have released their HotDex which shows that they mean business and want HotShot to succeed. More developments are coming in the near future like a forum where everyone can get together and talk everything crypto and also have some input on which coins they would like to see listed on HotDex plus a lot more. I'm very bullish on HotShot as it should do well in the long term.
x42 does have some presence on Twitter as I have seen a couple big accounts tweeting about it but I do agree that it needs more marketing and people need to know more on what x42 offers the crypto world. All PoS coins are at bargain prices right now so take your pick, just make sure to look for coins that have a solid foundation and active dev team/community as they are the ones that should do well in the long term.
