Don't you understand that the block time can be changed with a simple code update?
Don't you understand that PoS can be added to any coin with a simple code update?
If what you say were true, Bitcoin would have updated its code and so would all the other coins like IXC, so this advantage you speak of is a joke as it can be copied anytime by any coin.
But what cannot be copied is the near 9 peta hash of secure mining power. And that is the single biggest need for any coin in order for it to ever be used on a massive scale.
And of course, the economics of it all - 1 Tera hash mines you 1,000 IXC per year while you can buy 7,000 for 1 BTC. In other words, IXC is way cheap now and its value should reflect the necessary resources to mine it.
Merge mining aside of course.
Let's see, let's do the math here, 7 peta hash is 7,000 terahash. A single tera hash miner costs around $6,000. So to mine 1/7,000 of IXC in a year will cost $6,000 worth of mining hardware. Approximately, 5 million coins are mined per year. 5 million / 7,000 - yields 720 coins per 1 THs miner. In short, $6,000 worth of equipment mines you in a year, 720 IXC. At 12 cents a coin, that $6,000 miner will mine $86 worth of IXC in a year!
Vlad, another point that you need to explain to people who aren't familiar with economics it the notion of "bundling". See, people are in the mistaken notion that coins that are merged mine come for free.
This of course is incorrect because you can't get NMC and IXC without actually mining for BTC. The current ROI of miners typically involves the mining of BTC, NMC and IXC combined. Just like you mine copper to get gold, its the same thing. You don't mine IXC by itself, if so, you will go broke trying!
Who me 
I was essentially begging you to take those stanky coins back. heh..
