[ANN][♔] Britcoin.com | 5% annual PoS

How is this different from Spaincoin, Mazacoin, Scotcoin, Auroracoin?

With the exception of Auroa, it has the potential to be a national digital currency.. But with a much larger market

Please explain your reasoning. Why do you think that is?

Well the UK is historically know for Fintech innovation with London being joint top financial capital of the world, so we feel the British public would be receptive to the idea of a national coin that gives them 5% annual interest via PoS and much faster confirmation times as opposed to Bitcoin.. Which also struggles to get over the "drug money" image it has in the general British public's perception.

Also since the UK is a fairly small (geographically) and centralized country with a large banking sector with decent infrastructure, it would be much easier to make this project work as opposed to doing this in the US or Spain.. Small island with 64m people on it, most who would love to stick it to the banks by using Britcoin. Cheesy

Aurora is a good coin, but Iceland has a population of 0.3m so it's a fraction of the UK's.

We're still busy working on the fork. Mammix has been helping out and has been implemented some fixes etc

No ETA yet but we're not far off.

Yeah..what progress your busy working on the fork..??

What fork?

After about 18 months of inactivity (as in no new developments or even active exchanges etc) we were lucky to meet an investor (based in the UK) who was willing to pay for two full time developers and invest into a large marketing campaign. When we met him for our first meeting, Britcoin wasn't traded on any exchanges so we decided to do a somewhat of a private IPO where we would fork Brit and mint 10m new coins, which would be shared among the investors and developers.

I know there will be some people who will say that doing this goes against the grain of cryptocurrency 'ethics', but you have to realize if it doesn't happen then the coin dies since no one can afford to work for free on this and there's no point killing this project over some naive moral chivalry.
