Just some thoughts and I would like peoples opinions on them: Maybe BC shouldn't start a public smear campaign against BTC and its energy wastefulness until BC can stand completely on its own (until it is not heavily dependent on BTC like every alt is). At this point, anything that might hurt public perception of BTC would likely hurt all of crypto including BC. Also, and I think others have pointed this out before, if you are going to try and sell BC as energy efficient you better be prepared for people being critical of the hypocrisy that is the multipool. And if you consider the fact that BC was the altcoin which started the altcoin multipool fad... what is the real effect of BC on energy consumption? (I think one good counterargument for the "wastefulness" of the multipool is that the majority of BC miners would just be mining something else if it weren't for BC and in that sense it is not additional energy waste just redirected energy waste)
I disagree completely with this. If BTC didn't have significant issues, then there wouldn't be such an interest in altcoins. BTC is in no way mainstream right now, and who knows if BTC will be the cryptocurrency that goes mainstream. Most likely it will, but if some of the other altcoins start catching up and people realize that there are better options than BTC, then (even though it seems impossible right now) another crypto might take over. It won't be doge or lite, because they don't have any advantages other BTC.
You can hurt the public perception of BTC, but at the same time praise cryptocurrencies, and point out that the cryptocurrency of choice should be BlackCoin. Bitcoin already has a slightly seedy image in many people's mind, so a new option without the baggage of bitcoin could actually be an advantage in some ways.
Regarding the multipool, that doesn't influence the longterm economics of blackcoin being green. BlackCoin could be used by everyone in the world, or no one in the world and it would have no effect on the amount of mining being done. The multipool might actually be reducing the amount of mining by the idea that it eats up the other mineable coins.
I don't see any other PoS altcoin doing really well right now other then a few under 1 million cap. We're the only one above 1 million cap aren't we? Oh right NXT. I wish NXT would just add PoW or something so I could stop having to PoS* every single time I talk about BC. I brought this topic up on reddit asking for our most prestigious title that's simple. PoS+volume+1% or something.
