I am interested in how the community feels about each project. The two projects seem very similar. What are the pros and cons of each?
All in all i think both projects are great. It's always a good idea to take away a monopoly where you can do. And this is definitely one of the next areas where this will happen.
But i haven't used one of them till now. But whould be very interesting in how easy it is to earn money there. Although i'm a little bit skeptical because of the privacy right now ...
