if it's an exact btc clone why was it made?

There are a lot of reasons why an exact BTC clone may prove to be valuable.

Some possibilities:

• If transaction space is scarce/expensive on the original Bitcoin blockchain, it may prove economical to have multiple lesser/newer block chains for less important transactions
• Far into the future, if subdivision of satoshis is desired, one option may be to make change with alt coins
• An active blockchain used for real transactions may prove to be better for some testing purposes than Bitcoin testnet
• An alternative chain promotes a more healthy ecosystem/economy: if something goes wrong on the main chain (like the blockchain fork a few weeks ago), wealth may flee into an alternative chain, for short or long term
• An alternative chain promotes mining innovation
• Simply for fun!

Personally, I have yet to see a change that any alt-coins have made that I can unequivocally regard to be an improvement over Bitcoin at this point (although some of the changes may prove to be so, eventually).  So to me, if I want an additional currency, the best choice is an identical fork of Bitcoin.

I would like to see a new BTC clone launch at every Bitcoin halving.

Not sure I agree that we need more than one.  I don't understand.

As for what's new in the alt coin world.  I think PPC brings the new idea of proof-of-stake; however, I don't know that it's implemented yet, so we'll see if that works.

The Bytecoin Pool   http://pool.bytecoin.in/
Proportional / Stratum+JSONRPC

This pool is a scam!  Never got paid and there is no contact info on their website.  DO NOT JOIN.

I can't mine these things at all. It is starting to bother me.

From above "The 'bytecoin.us.to:6327' pool has moved to 'bytecoinpool.us.to:6327', just to let you know"

add 'pool' to the name....

I suspect you saw the old url on the Info page of the site. After seeing your post I just changed it on the pool. Sorry about the confusion, when the pool was moved to it's current host that item was missed.
