Pardon me if this has been discussed back through the thread, and please don't take this as a rude question, but can someone highlight the key differences between this and Mintcoin? When I looked through the specs, they seem very similar.
Cheers

This coin looks really solid. Anyone that knows the future of cryptos, and has taste, can see it plain as day. This improves on a lot of the ideas of Mintcoin, which is an excellent coin to clone, and no shame in copying good ideas. Improving on the distribution models and social media marketing greatly is a nice angle and gives ECC an edge. Rewarding stake holders more initially, while long term ending up with the inflation rate of Peercoin is about as perfect as it can be designed. Peercoin is one of the very best alts by the way, but has been passed up by the latest generation of hybrids in design.
ECCoin appears to have a team that gets the concept that they really need to *sell* the coin and work hard at it. Less than a 1% premine, which isn't totally absurd. Website is in all major languages, awesome video with a catchy song. Massive amount of press releases in most major languages. Looks like a winner. You don't even have to pay BTC for that tip, for that matter, it is actually a good tip as this coin is highly likely to survive rather than fail as a pump and dump. If a coin can simply survive long enough, then it has a chance to win.
People that have been paying attention can look at the limited supply of Blackcoin and see how speculators that are not whales, are simply tired of being dumped on by miners. Indirect mining tech in combination with the ASICs will be clearing out the crap-coins of the past, made by real scammers. There is no reason that ECCoin can't have indirect mining pools in the long run either. This coin has a very good shot ... as long as the team is in it for the long haul. They are clearly not lazy and know how hard it is to win, so that is a good sign, scammers are usually exceptionally lazy and overly greedy. So that is enough for me to mine and buy a little bit, and see how it plays out.
