For me, this coin is going to boil down to differences in the algorithm. Wallet features are nice, but nothing to really get excited about. That said, I'm glad to see an altcoin dev doing more than just changing a few constants around, making a pretty photoshop logo, and compiling.

Is there any way to detect this virus? One of the computers at my job suddenly has the CPU light on all day and is very slow. It's probably something else, but if there's a common way to check for this virus I'd like to know.

It seems to me that a wise altcoin investment strategy would be to split your resources evenly amongst all of them, or nearly all of them. There's really no way to tell which ones are going to do very well or very poorly.
