I love MEC, I think it may be the BitCoin 2.0 we have been waiting for and would love to see it grow in use because has anyone checked how large the BTC blockchain is lately..... 12.6 GIGABYTES TOO LARGE to be carried on a PHONE AS opposed to MEgaCoin's only 125Kb
the block chain is smaller because it is practically void of any transactions. as MEC increases in popularity, you will see the blockchain grow in size exponentially as more and more transactions are being comprised of multiple inputs such as coins bought from the exchange. also you are exagerrating that the blockchain is only 125kb. try megabytes buddy.
this is not to say that mec doesn't offer any advantages over bitcoin-- it does.
the blocks are more easily processed in the scrypt algorithm and are typically smaller due to having less pooled transactions in each block. also the pre client launch block check is set to a much lower value on most altcoins than that of bitcoin. bitcoin is slow because the sheer amount of transactions in the ledger. some people just can't seem to grasp this concept
