1) it's not that talkcoin sucks, my deepest regret is investing in the dev team. why? there was an official vote last month initiated by tac team, the community spoke with its desires, and yet the community was ignored.
-- this automatically became a red flag for me. it was really frustrating because ive been a strong supporter of this coin for many months now.
As AizenSou has explained, the voting system will be modified but it requires time to create our new system, it's more complicated than changing 2 or 3 variables in the code.
2) Chat, whether encrypted or not, is easily being implemented on all popular coins. Sooner or later a coin will have it implemented on the blockchain, depending on community desire. Once that occurs, I guarantee you talkcoin will become obsolete. It's not about being first or anything, it's about answering and responding to community desires. That's what drives a coin.
No, it's not easily being implemented. If you want create a secure p2p chat, it requires much time and work. And cloning talkcoin or any code is not a good idea if you don't know what you are doing (see chatcoin). That's why there is no alternative, there are only easier solutions (chat on centralized IRC channel) but what is the point to use central servers in a P2P cryptocurrency...
3) the market is growing heavily inflated even with low block reward.
The market is not growing heavily inflated, the voting system was invented for that reason.
Here's some comparisons:
TAC in circulation: ~7 million
LTC in circulation: ~30 million
NXT in circulation: ~1 billion
DOGE in circulation: ~100 billion
A pretended scarcity (see 365coins, 42coins, mincoin, bitbar etc) have demonstrated clearly enough that scarcity is just a gitzmo/scam that never works in long term. Talkcoin is a long-term project.
why you guys always compare yourself to LTC, NXT, DOGE? Who are you? Are you bcnext?
