Thank tokyo. Another question for everyone:
Having merchants that want to KEEP a coin is what can make it appreciate in value. If they simply accept them and then dump them for btc/usd the value stays the same, or perhaps even decreases.
Even bitcoin is not kept by merchants, AFAIK. Accountancy requires fiat, how could they keep BTC? I guess this question has been asked several times, please feel free to point me at any discussion relative to this topic.
By the way, I just twittered about allcoins.com and got a +50 votes for HBN as a consequence (new
+50 vote tweet initiative). Since HBN is #2, it will probably soon be added (especially if other holders do the same). Then we could move to promoting the second high-PoS (currently CAP).

The goal is not competition (X is better than Y) but cross-fertilisation (X has feature A but not feature B that Y has; let's add it). Inspiration is the improvement in 3D video card after 3D benchmarks arrived in the 90's. I only added feature that are unambiguously beneficial (bold part, the italic part are just information and prone to change).
