Also does any one feel MSC gets a free ride of BTC?
Yep. The MSC folks got a free ride. Meanwhile they continue to gripe that they didn't have the chance to buy up everything.
SafeCoin looks pretty well thought out and a sound technology platform.
MSC, IMHO is a complete hack and not worth my investment.
Anyway, the reason MSC got a free ride was that Dave Johnston of BitAngels has vested interests in MSC succeeding. I really don't care for MSC since it obviously is a flawed concept and has no real intrinsic value.
