Guys and/or ladies,
CrocodileCash doesn't need use-cases and gimmicky apps that serve no purpose or useful function. I'm asserting that one of the principal use-cases for Bitcoin (and all cryptocurrencies) -- aside from speculation -- is as a monetary base that isn't ultimately derived from new debt/credit-issue, banking-and-political symbiosis, or the blinkered-and-unethical fiat (viz.:
https://www.vocabulary.com/dictionary/fiat ) of any particular State or regional bloc. This is very similar to the argument made by gold-and-silver bugs -- see for instance, Jim Sinclair (jsmineset.com) or James Rickards (commentaries available at agorafinancial.com) who are the among the sharper or more consistent of this group.
[ BTW 5-10% of one's net-worth in physical (not a certificate or other paper derivative) of these, maybe a bit of palladium, maybe some Bitgold, and/or miners that have good free cash flow (Oceanagold, Kirkland Lake, Agnico Eagle, Sibanye, and similar) are probably a good hedge, insurance or counter-balance in the long-run. For anyone who is interested in the more-detailed explication of these theses, theoretical sources would include Ludwig von Mises, Murray Rothbard, Friedrich Hayek, and Jesus Huerta de Soto. ]CROC's 12% stake will prove a good return. For people's edification, do check out for yourself (and whatever/whomever you care about) what is termed "the Rule of 72" e.g.:
http://www.investopedia.com/terms/r/ruleof72.asp . Essentially, the time it takes to double a given amount of something in percentage terms... in this case 72/12 = 6 years. That is (
ignoring the price appreciation -- which I suspect will be an even more significant part of the upside), the staking alone can be expected to double anything you put into CROC within six years. Compare that with what 72 divided by 3% or 5% or 10% will yield in anything that is a more mainstream asset. In short, people should be buying CROC while they are still cheap and not selling until the payout from staking or the mined value is significant and makes one like an early entrant into BTC.
No developers that might f-up this situation, no masternode-kool-aid/crack-rock, and perhaps no algorithm change seem necessary for people who are patient buy-and-holders with this coin.
If people are however interested in an algorithm change... I wonder if Qubit or C11/Flax algo are ASIC-resistant and/or more democratic/small-guy-friendly than an algorithm such as Xevan?
Similarly, the Zerocoin people are working with cryptographers on something new (MTP? I can't recall the name of the algorithm at the moment) and easy to mine without specialized hardware. Some thoughts along these lines might turn a pretty good coin into something superb or unstoppable.
[ However, I'm on the fence personally regarding an algorithm change (I'm actually considering buying/investing in an ASIC). As a comparison: from among the top-ten cryptos compare Dash and Monero (Monero has better privacy features -- their community often refers to DASH as snake-oil on this; however, DASH has a larger market cap and an ASIC algo whereas XMR is more GPU-friendly and is thus easier to mine) ].
Also, on the logo... perhaps we should put a poll up here or in slack and allow people to submit designs (much as the Spectrecoin community did on their older thread when they were trying to get a community/stakeholder-approved sticker design happening).
