My observation with LOL is first the name. They tied it to a very popular game. Nothing wrong with that if you are catering only to the LOL gamers. When you start to use that for other games, it may become confusing to non-LOL gamers, in my opinion only. Mineralscoin does not have that handicap.
No FUD as I think MIN has a ton of potential, but just a point to make: "Minerals" isn't the best name since it's not really brand-able. A Google and Twitter search turns up a ton of non coin-related stuff. Very few people seem to call it "mineralscoin", which is fine, but I think focusing on the Starcraft crowd is going to be necessary.
All I mean is that I have to disagree with you that "Mineralscoin does not have that handicap" as I'd argue that it does.
