Eclipse is also new but the dev was able to give me a satisfactory answer so I have given my interest/support.

see?
I am simply trying to find out the same for this coin.
they're just using secp256k1.. what's special about it? just stop whining so much and wait then, if you are "waiting to see what happens" here.. or does waiting involve trolling and nitpicking?
Much more special than simply changing block size limit and max supply. At least they have solved an actual flaw. I am waiting but I do not see where I am whining. If you think me pointing out the possibility of vaporware is trolling than you need to meet a real troll. Nitpicking is necessary because it is important to be critical of things, especially in the cryptocurrency scene.
You just don't get it.
You want a MAJOR contribution ?
C-bit now gets Bitcoin Classic off of Bitcoin Core's back.
If the REAL reason for Bitcoin Classic's argument with Bitcoin
Core is because of the Block size, then here is C-bit, all
ready and presented like a christmas gift.
All they have to do is move in and settle down. It's all
ready for Classic. C-bit IS Bitcoin Core, but with the 2 Meg
block size already baked in. Bitcoin Core no longer needs
to do a Hard Fork, this is the Major innovative item of
C-bit that you don't seem to understand.
Unless the real reason behind Bitcoin Classic is more than
just the block size, it's a perfect fit. If the real reason is
something else, well then, we just exposed it. It might be
the Bitcoin network, the value of Bitcoin, the clients of Bitcoin,
the name of Bitcoin, or the power. Everything then is now
exposed as a smokescreen and a lie. Everyone will be able to
see it all for what it really is. A grab for Bitcoin.
As for your comment about it is so easy that all you have
to do is cut and paste. You know what, you're right. I did
this whole project while sitting on the toilet one night, in about
15 minutes.... the whole damn thing. There, happy ? You win.

Copy pasting bitcoin code and changing to 2MB blocksize + supply is not innovation.
I was expecting some actual innovation.
If changing block size and supply count is innovation, then oh gee... bitcointalk is overflowing with innovators... especially the altcoin section.
The only thing that would make C-bit worth anything is if it really was a solution to the current blocksize problem but it is not.
Please do not say C-bit is the solution because it has 2 MB block size already.
On a more realistic note, if you think Bitcoin Core supporters will move to C-bit you are delusional.
Do you have any reason why people would consider C-bit OTHER than the 2 MB block size?
