MMC is based upon elected paid positions and being GPU resistant. This is what was to separate it from other alts.
MMC elected positions is still unique as an altcoin. Many positions have changed hands through voting, and the amount of work that has been put into this coin in such a small amount of time has been astounding. All of this work would not have happened without the incentive of paid positions. 1% of the coin for each position does seem high. .5% or .25% would be more reasonable. If you're getting 575+ coins a day for your position, you can still make off decently selling right away. Now, hopefully, the officers realize the potential of the coin, and realize that the current price of $0.25 is not much compared to the $1-2 per coin in the near future. However, a few may be willing to simply sell right away. Freetrade being CEO is fine. He created the coin, why shouldn't he in one of the officers to promote the coin?
About being GPU resistant, sure that surprised me. However, it's not that crazy, it terms of advantage. Even in the current state, my 7950 gets 13 hpm (overclocked 1050/1450), while my 3770k i7 gets 3.3 hpm (not overclocked). That's about a 4x increase using GPU. However, a 7950 is also more expensive to buy, and uses over double the power. Plus, yvg1900's optimized mmcminer is rumored to increase a CPU's hpm by 3x (thus a 3770k would give you 10hpm). The beta version of this miner is already out in private testing. This will equalize CPU/GPU mining, until a more optimized GPU comes out.
