Bitbar is one of the best designed alts. Thats why it is always at or near the top of choose coin especially when you adjust for stales. Most people don't have the patience to wait for the confirmations which is a benefit for those that stick with it.
I agree, the design of BitBar is nearly perfect, it is an evolution of technical features from many coins.
* there is no mining fluctuation, difficulty adjust on every block, block reward based on network hash rate. BTB mining is nearly always in equilibrium, while the likes of FTC CNC and many others, languish in high diff mining hell, with just 1-2 blocks mined per day.
* BTB have PoS blocks, this will ensure that even when no hardware mining is done, the currency will do just fine with PoS blocks.
* high value denomination, will discourage block spamming problem faced by BTC and many others. BTB have by far, the smallest and most efficient blockchain.
These are just some of the features I liked.
