What makes this coin unique?

BlockCruncher.com has launched a b-hash pool and has already hit many blocks. We run many large pools including one of the largest Ravencoin pools and the largest Pigeoncoin pool. We've had many miners already test mine blocks with us to be ready for block rewards today.

The first step you can do - without much work - is to include the source of the TPS value you post.

If I knew your sources, I could help and distinguish "real" TPS from "test/controlled environment" TPS.

You did try that with your last update:
 
... but unfortunately, "CoinCheckup" itself does not post the source where it took the value from. Particl is a heavily modified Peercoin clone, so I don't think its code is optimized much with respect to Bitcoin. 97 tps would mean, in a Bitcoin-based currency, a block size of 30 MB (with 10 minute blocks, otherwise, a throughput of 3 MB/minute). I consider that a relatively realistic value but it would lead to very high hardware requirements for full nodes. So I can only imagine this tps value is the result a "controlled environment test" and not the maximum tps value from the mainnet.

It would imply a bit more work to re-check the sources (at least googling where the value comes from, if it was a test or mainnet stats), but I think it's worth it - this thread could then become a reference thread, worth to be cited or even stickied.
