For 1000$ you can buy a simple PC and 2 NVIDIA GTX 1070. It will generate ~120$ per month

Previously the user have to define pool address, mining algo and several other things. Now you only have to select with what to mine (CPU or/and GPU) and Start

According to the Coingeko cumulative score of the market cap, liquidity, developer, community and public interest VTC is #43. https://www.coingecko.com/en But if it is sorted by community VTC is #17. https://www.coingecko.com/en?sort_by=community_score Coingeko - "Cryptocurrencies tend to experience tremendous growth when there is a strong community backing it. A strong community contributes to new ideas and new features to be incorporated into the coin, increase trading volume, and signifies growth toward a bigger market." From my personal experience it is very true. The VTC reddit community is friendly, supportive, diverse and with the clear vision for the future.

Mining is important though, it solves a lot of issues around governance, upgrades, distribution, adoption etc

The reason is the lower transaction fee. Exchangeability is an additional feature that makes the handling much simpler.

Litecoin is here to stay and exactly that's why it will also get expensive. Even now it is already 150x (!) cheaper to send Vertcoin then Litecoin.

This is exactly the point. It could be that using the lighting network for payments will be to cumbersome. Instead it will be used for atomic swaps and the actual payments will be done onchain with the low fees coins. And merchant will be able to accept all supported lighting coins and automatically exchange it to the coin of their preference.

..it is not about mining an "Exoten". The Idea is that everybody who has a GPU can partisipate in the mining. Vertcoin is even profitable to mine in Germany.

To have 11 exchangers is not so bad. It's 2 biggest Wetern and 1 big Eastern, much bigger coins have not such good availibility. In the light of the recent bitcoin events where the miners hold bitcoin actually hostage, decentralization seems again as an important feature of the coin. It is true about atomic, nobody knows exactly. But there are already some real uses cases as arbitrage and mixing. And just as a bonus - Vertcoin is mentioned by the major Austrian newspaper with 400k readers http://mobil.derstandard.at/2000062310313/Bitcoin-bringt-Schwung-in-Online-Waehrungen

I'll try to give you some real reasons: 1. Vertcoin is truly ASIC resistant (original idea of litecoin). 2. Ready for atomic swaps with Bitcoin and Litecoin. 3. Litecoin is hoping to get a part of BTC (background) transactions through atomic swaps. But Vertcoin has for now 150x cheaper txs fee then Litecoin with the same functionality (atomic swaps) If you are interested visit us on r/vertcoin (reddit).
