Rabbit please sell out of TRC now the prices are decent and move to any of the other living alt-coins.
I know you've been pushing TRC pretty hard but personally this is the last coin I would choose. You cannot talk to the Terracoin developers or find out anything about them. This could be a pump-and-dump coin or a private coin that people have accidentally discovered. If I was to make a coin for a pump-and-dump I would do exactly as the TRC developers have done. It seems that we do not know enough about this coin to really put community support behind it, not when we have the likes of Litecoin, PPCoin and Freicoin.
Please feel free to correct me as I'd like to be reassured about TRC.
edit: I updated my answer to be a bit more clear
Further more- I'm a bit cynical about the other, more popular and successful Alt Coins. While started with brilliant ideas and ambitions, in some senses (and this is just my feeling) they are squatted by greedy people with massive mining power but little intention other than to wait till someone else makes it valuable and then sell out.
To paraphrase what someone in another post somewhere said about bitcoin: When litecoin started, and was worth nothing, only the enthusiastic and good people were involved, now that it's worth money there are a lot more jerks. And I think it's true. Some people are mining some serious LTC but where are the big ticket Bounties? People giving away large chunks of LTC to people to develop services? Mostly people are hoarding, and I see why FRC came about. Hoarding starts up once people see value, and oddly enough because there already exists bitcoin, LTC seems to get a strange type of hoarder. People who think it will blast off like BTC without any of their own participation. A Cryptogeneration of armchair millionaires.
Besides that- It's a hobby. It's fun. Maybe I'll turn out to be an economics PhD student investigating how hard it is to generate a currency/economy from nothing.
I'm mining, buying and giving away TRC. If it's all for nothing so be it. This is my hobby.
The obvious question then is- why don't I do this with LTC or FRC or PPC, right? Well the answer is- I don't have enough of any of those coins. I can't really fund a LTC bounty anymore that is tempting enough for others to take. It's real money now and that makes me (a non-finance professional) reluctant. As TRC doesn't require major changes to get it working services, I am curious if the skeleton of a currency economy can be built before the coin has value. It's like rebuilding BTC.
I disklike FRC's demurrage, it discourages both hoarding and people like me. PPC bothers me because mining doesn't feel fair (too many coins as reward at the start, too many coins in general- I really believe in the bias against lots of zeros and millions of coins feels like monopoly money).
TRC feels just about right for me. No fundamental code differences that might threaten the integrity of BTC, and it IS BTC. It's faster. Which in my experience traveling and talking to normal smart people about BTC makes a big difference.
So, that's about that I guess. I hope that sort of opens up my thinking process.
