I've been following this all very closely from the start of BTCD.
In 7 weeks James' coin went from 4k satoshi (or less) to 1.58 million satoshi.
And it has held it's ground the entire way.
For that project, and the others such as the SuperNET, the creativity level and energy levels are clearly off the charts.

There is always risk in Crypto. As is in life.
I think this kind of innovation should be supported and rewarded.

BTCD has less than 1,200,000 coins. We're at over 20 million here, so yeah...we won't be seeing those prices anytime soon.

BTCD's price at the moment is a pump. IMO, I think it's like Cloak...just smoke and mirrors. At the end of the day, all of those ideas sound really good...but they won't come to be.

XST has a good chance of being used in markets, which will give it more than just speculative value. I've yet to see a more professional...down to earth...goal driven team...then what I see here.

I'm not hating on BTCD, and wish it well, but we'll talk about how awesome it is after everything is implemented.
