Can I get the cliff notes version of how this coin is different than all the other coins please?

None available at the time. Scrypt algorithm that was not invented yesterday, but coin is new and has its own purpose.
some stuff others asked
some stuff Dev answered
that was a nice answering

but i think it would be better if you use the algo from vertcoin, thats a unique algorythm and it will have alot more success

or atleast scrypt jane
Thank you for your advice and it really would have been great to insert different algorithm into NTM. I wish it was all that simple, but we have not enough people to work on different algo and nobody is willing to do it on voluntary basis. Anyway thanks for this practical advice.
