The real merit of this coin lies in the anonymity enhancing features of the protocol and the robust decentralization implied by CPU-mining.  Without those, it is just another pump and dump.  If they can be improved and made more robust, the coin may have a bright future.  I worry about the BMO fork, however.  Quazarcoin and bytecoin are transparent scams, and will die naturally, but BMR vs MRO is a serious problem for image and marketing.
