any other news ? Is LTBcoin and Permacredits gonna make waves like maidsafe ?
in my opinion no - this is an organically growing project - which is totally fine.
https://www.counterparty.co/counterparty-founders-inside-bitcoins-hong-kongthere three reasons for the very low market cap: 1.) the widespread distribution and still relatively good prices to sell for burners. 2.) there is in fact not much use for the currency xcp until now (despite dividend function - I think this will change) 3.) uncertainty due to the discussion with bitcoin core developers.
Good list. I would add a 4th item: The assumption that there will be sidechains and that these will solve everyone's problems and make XCP irrelevant. Sidechains got quite a lot of press a few weeks back.
There are still significant problems with implementing sidechains, and there's still not even a whitepaper. Not all of the bitcoin core devs even support sidechains right now.
