Is it just me? I think the collaborative relationship with the SSD developer is a huge bonus - it show's Hondo's character, usually when someone moves on to develop another coin it causes major friction and distraction, in our case the opposite has happened two major minds are continuing a collaborative effort on brand new technology.
Having zero drama on the development side allows all these new features to be implemented smoothly. In addition the SSD developer is also providing support and wants to see XST succeed.
It is not about good or bad, it is about making profit. And it is easier to get SSD to 5K (and thus double your investment) than it is to get XST to 16K.
I think that is why a lot of dumping is happening on XST and mnoney flowing to SSD. This will probably continue till XST is back to 6 or 7K.
