This post is a sloppy copy paste of my brief research and thoughts on this coin:





Pros:





-Low current MC

-Sideways movement since starting (with 1 abnormal spike)

-Rebranded from KryptKoin, which saw development from 2014.

-100 PoS with functional Masternode and staking.

-Discord seems active with helpful users.

-Solid progress on roadmap, particularly with zerocoin protocol. (check Zcoin)

-Next 6 months plans on seeing Decentralized marketplace and segwit (big pro if carried out)

-Low fees, non-premined

-Impressive history before rebrand, in particular "Kryptkoin quickly developed a large

following and introduced an online marketplace in 2015, which included Paypal integration

where digital items such as Wordpress themes and physical items such as clothes were both

listed and bought" Of course it needs to be remembered that this ended up needing a rebrand etc. Although they state that this is to facilitate new features.

-Decentralized micro crowdfunding is the most intriguing idea, particularly with the zerocoin protocol and anonymity.

-Team seems dedicated given the history, although I didn't look too much into the team themselves yet.





Cons:





-Subreddit has 45 users, although more active than these numbers imply.

-Fairly low volume, even relative to MC.

-Very lacking marketing/social media presence (team seems dev heavy, which is good for this point in time but eventually a coin like this will need solid exposure to be successful)

-Staking requires wallet open 24/7, takes 3 hours for stake to be eligible. (although this can be done for free for a year with amazon wed services)

-I'm not seeing something absolutely unique and driving that would make me want to choose this coin over others. Marketplace release might change this, along with the (imo) increased general interest in PoS.









Additional details:

Swap ended on Nov 27th (Coin count after burn: 11,268,429)

Solid support in terms of translations, professionally presented, not being overly hype, focusing on the product. Devs seem professional in communication.

Masternode cost is 10000PHR (about 5000USD right now)
