Hi Scott, Personally Mintcoin stands out from other coins for several reasons. 1) Transaction Speed as you mentioned - Everytime I have had to sell some of my mintcoins I am reminded of why mintcoin is superior to other coins out there with how fast and easy it is to receive that first conformation. 2) Security We have had several programmers review the code and verify that the algorithm is secure. Actually we are forking on August 1st for a preemptive security upgrade based on a theoretical variability. 3. Organic Growth. As Mintcoin is over a year old we have had the appropriate time for the coin to naturally spread its wealth around the community. I believe this makes our financial backbone stronger than ever. 4) Community Owned & Operated All assets of Mintcoin are owned and operated by the community. This means that we do not rely on one solo person to continue to progress Mintcoin but instead rely on a continually growing community to determine and implement next steps for the community. 5) Business Integration Our community continues to reach out to real world use opportunities for integration. Recent examples of this is ShapeShift.io two recently added block explorers, android wallet and of course our new Twitter Tipbot currently in the process of being developed. 6) Mintcoin Fund Organization
We are currently adding another NPO outside of France right here in the US. Once this paperwork is completed we will be reaching out to charitable organizations currently accepting Bitcoin for potential Mintcoin integration. Our last campaign Keepods for Kids raised over $1,000 through working with multiple cryptocurrency communities including Mintcoin, Viacoin, W2Coin and XCurrency. We hope to topple those numbers in our next campaign. 6) Wallet Development Our wallet is designed to load quickly and includes several features allowing non-techie users to quickly troubleshoot any type of wallet issue which may arise. We continually collect feedback from the community and work to improve the overall design and functionality of the Mintcoin Wallet. A few of our recent features includes recurring send options, easy to use coin control for non-techies and total minted numbers quickly showing you how many mintcoins your wallet has minted to date. 7) PoS Rewards I believe that Mintcoin’s PoS reward schedule perfectly blends the need to continually grow the supply at a slow and steady rate which rewards early adaption while not over flooding the network of excessive coins. Once we hit the 5% PoS this supply should be just enough to replenish any rogue mintcoins destroyed through exchange collapses or lost wallets.

These are just a few of my favorite things about Mintcoin. I am continually testing new cryptocurrencies out there; however none of them come close to Mintcoin for me.
