Can someone explain to me what makes Zetacoin so great? There is no one in the IRC, no news, nothing except people hoping the coin rises?
Anything I'm missing? Is there a marketing team? Is there a plan? Any development in progress?
Kinda looks like a shitcoin with a cool name, but how is it planning to compete with Worldcoin/Peercoin etc?
No offense, but I think you're looking at it the wrong way. In my opinion, none of these coins are (or should be) products that need to be marketed heavily to people. At their core, they are open protocols, that can and will be picked up, used and developed further by organizations and individuals as long as they seem useful. [/unquote] ZET is extremely fast. 6 confirmations in less than 1 minute. That means: Instant Payment works!!! And there is a strong community startup at www.nobs.is #ZBAD305 group. We have devs, contributors, journalists, writers, web-designer, musician, video-experts .... Check it out and join us!

Also remember about Gresham's law - "Bad money drives out good". Basically what is says is that Bitcoin will not be used for casual payments. It will be used as SoV (store of value) - just like PHYSICAL gold today. This is because people tend to hoard things that do not lose value (do not inflate) - at the same time making them really bad as MoE (medium of exchange). "Bad money" (ZET) takes the role of MoE. This does not mean they have no value - they just have different role. Their value lies in this very specific utility that is MoE. thx for the info, i found a better named articel which describes the same. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adverse_selection

At their core, they are open protocols, that can and will be picked up, used and developed further by organizations and individuals as long as they seem useful. I think a lot of people are not entirely convinced that bitcoin's limited supply of no more than 21 million is ideal. Thus they might find zet's solution of +1 million per year after 160 million interesting. Or I hope that's one of the main reasons it's gaining support, not just the name. If a coin is considered useful, it will have third party support. If not, no amount of marketing might not be enough, except for pump'n'dumps. Now, peercoin has some great qualities as well, I believe, but why worldcoin? I think even bitcoin will have much faster confirmations later when the tech for that is ready, which will make worldcoin completely redundant. Zet still has that eternal inflation, which will not and should not ever be added to bitcoin. There is a scrypt coin that has eternal inflation too, Argentum. They made it 1.1% per year instead of a fixed amount. That's potentially a good solution too, and it's another coin I'm personally following. EDIT: And of course the eternal inflation is good for rewarding hash rate too, a very important point. +1 Quark has this as well though.

It looks like the -datadir=[dir] start option doesn't work for this client.. it still points to the default one. Is there a fix for this?

They were massively overpriced so I wouldn't expect the price to move a lot for the next little while. There isn't enough uses for the coin to justify the price it reached. Assuming services show up the price will of course increase but right now it's just people trying to trade to make a quick buck. This is also true for most altcoins so I am not picking on ZET at all.

I think you're grossly overestimating use-value ... coins including Bitcoin do not get their valuation from people actually using the coins to make purchases. It's also that, but I would say it's behind 1) speculation (long or short term holding for speculation or belief in future technology adoption) ; 2) hedging against fiat inflation for reason 2 zeta isn't better than btc but for 1) it is because it's quicker.

Have to keep it in mind for next year to make a profit from it. This year I already screwed up! Bought lots of ZETs before the drop. Anyway I'm holding I believe in January we'll see a nice surge

Having a high price due purely to speculation is exactly what you'd call overpriced.

bad news the 2 biggest exchanges are not trusted anymore. Cryptsy has a fucked up tading engine/database, Bter.com is possibly dns hijacked (i will not login try find out)... Coins-e stole me coins, so no exchange is left.
only if vircurex adds Zet would make the situation better.
