http://www.theguardian.com/technology/2013/nov/28/bitcoin-alternatives-future-currency-investmentsinteresting article. Pity Goldcoin doesn't get a mention.
In terms of project development, the stand out line in the article IMO relates to MEC "
and its main selling point is its overt branding, something quite a few other digital currencies lack".
I'm far from a crypto expert, having only become interested in the last year, but to my mind it's branding that will make the difference to the average joe when considering an investment and faced with so many alt alts! (The MEC forums also have an entire Chinese language sub-board, which can't do any harm). From my own experience, the look of the Goldcoin website was key in piquing my interest.
Of course, there's always room for improvement, and this is the point where i'd like to say I will put my professional branding skills to the test.... but i really don't have any!! I do however, have a few litecoins that i'll be willing to donate to the Goldcoin cause, and hope that there are suitably talented members of the GLD community out there who agree and can actually make a difference!
i know it's not much. but if everyone donated just a little....
