yes - there is a huge chasm between them ...
the volume is quite small - and so the value is negligible currently ...
but as with any coin - its only as valuable as what people are willing to pay for it ... grn fluctuates tremendously - though like you said - volume is small ...
its a coin that i took over not very long ago - a learning project to be precise - in order for me to learn more about crypto and become a lot more proficient with coins in general ...
im happy and still smiling ... as this whole endeavor is an experience i dont get all that often ...
im a network and infrastructure consultant by trade - a businessman/entrepreneur in life - and now a miner and mining farm developer/builder ... nice big names ...
simply - an IT dude ... so its never been about the money for me - there is a huge amount of other coins that mine and convert easily to btc/usd/etc ... hence why i continue with this - and continue i will ... my learning experience wont stop here at grn ... this is the beginning ...
for as long as we can mine and trade grn - ill keep it alive as best i can ... i want ALL to have fun doing it ... no matter who you are ...
grn is a miners coin ... simple in design and structure - solid in algo - stable in mining and difficulty ...
its what attracted me to granitecoin in the first place - its simplicity ... no promises ... just a simple coin ...
trade WILL pick up - and eventually ( when i can devote much more resources and time to it ) - grn will be a worthy candidate for more than just trade ...
but until then - we will keep going and learning and putting as much effort into this as possible ...
if there is anything that you ( or anyone else ) is willing/can do - then lets do it ... always open to constructive suggestion and criticism ...
i appreciate all the help i can get ( obviously - hehehe ) - have had much - and never turn my back on any given ... but still have fun in the process ... thats really the goal - in anything any of us do ... at least for me anyway ...
your criticisms and suggestions are always taken on board ... and thats what makes this 'crypto-scene' as good as it is ... the brutal honesty ...
happy mining and trading mate ... smile heaps ...
