I have to research it further. It has some good points. One worry I have is the 30 second block time. Syncing it from genesis with blocks appearing every 30 seconds means there should be a large chain even without activity.

(just checked it as of April 27, 2017)

Right now they are at block# 3,438,306 since 2014.

That's a problem. :(

Even Bitcoin is only at block# 463,793 since 2009.

Faster block times isn't good in the early stages of a coin.
