There is no reason to compete with other coins; that causes confusion and problems. You actually do not need to have your wallet open all the time; the stake goes by coin age. Leaving it open just helps secure the network.
Hate to be the one to break it you , But the Coins are in a competition for the people to buy them and keep them at a price above 0 so they do not become worthless.
There are currently a Limited Number of buyers until the coins become a part of everyday life. So I can get Mint and hold at 20% or Panda and hold at 2.5% .
It is a no-brainer Mint Wins Hands Down. Plus any coin that has a rate below 5% will fail when compared to buying utility stocks at 5%.
FYI :
I bounced in the PND forum a while back because they were talking junk about other coins for no reason. Informed them of what they should do to improve their coin.
Their 30 days of hype over nothing was silly at best.
The Panda Dev Dump is just starting to get into full swing.
Enjoy your Panda and I will enjoy my Mint.

The coins are not in competition with each other to survive, they are in "competition" with themselves; if you have a decent coin, it will survive, may not be 100 SAT, but it will survive. Show where the IRC was talking junk about another coin. Was there possibly something said about another coin? Yes, more than likely, but just bad mouthing another coin for the heck of it does not happen there.
Have you heard on inflation, 20% is very good, but you do not want to saturate the market, you like to keep a steady growth.
30 days of hype over nothing? The devs do not want hype, that causes pumps and dumps. PND devs want a coin that can be mass marketed; will it succeed, we will find out.
But this post from you is exactly what I am talking about; "this coin is crap, that coin is a scam", do not compete with each other, continue working on your coin and the people will come. If you like a specific coin, great; if you like many coins, even better.
I never mined Mint, but there are some good coins and bad coins I have mined and/or bought. It does not bother me either way. It is like playing the stock market to me; I win some, I lose some, but I never feel bad about any losses.
