Another excellent writeup @cryptick, thanks for posting. I wrote about EthConnect a couple of weeks ago and how it looks almost identical to BitConnect.

I also noticed how BitConnect's roadmaps is almost at an end, just as EthConnect's roadmap begins. Interestingly, EthConnect's roadmap also lasts about a year and feature much the same milestones including the mythical listing on Bittrex exchange.

I was watching a video earlier by J4Snip and Clif High and Clif reckoned that the signs are that BitConnect will come to an end by around the start of December. If that should happen, a lot of people are going to get stung forsure. You, me, and others will have to find some other schemes to ponder and write about :-)
