VRC has some cool ideas, but it's going to opposite way crypto was meant to go by making its unique features centralized. Right now, with Halo, BlackCoin is officially competing with NXT as far as I'm concerned.

BlackCoin is trying to become truly accepted on its own, and not partial accepted by going directly through BTC. VRC as of right now is offering you once huge convenience fee. But kudos to them though. It's unique and useable which has value. And can still be further developed into decentralized and eventually try to separate itself completely from BTC like we are trying to do here.
