Its not a timeline 'until the end of the year"...its a timeline 'up to the end of the year'. I said
1) Copy and paste the said weekend post[below] and add a
'realistic' target date of completion for each stage out to December 2014 Its the rushing thats been the problem so far...look at Darkcoin. Stop worrying about other coins, most of them are just plain scams or crap. AIRcoin's only competition right now is among 4-6 coins out of over 300 coins.
We have no need to rush, most coins can barely get a good launch going and most of Alex's points are not possible right away. He should just pace the AIRcoin team with a 7-9 month schedule with a target date for each measure..week by week...month by month...maybe the wallet is 1st maybe its something else. As long as their is an outlined plan the miners and community will stay. Network hash may initially fall but not by much.
No need to worry. Steady does it. We should be at 0.001btc within a week and Im a fine with that
Alexander, I re-read your entire post made on the weekend and I think you need to stick to what you said with 1 single exception. TIME. That is your biggest enemy and I think the mental crash you guys are experiencing is the main symptom. Do what you say but give your self until the end of the year. The crypto market is moving fast but not so fast that AIRcoin will be left behind. If you do all of the below by XMas then you will be ahead of 99.9% of the alternative currencies.
The fast money people have left and I expect the price of AIR will slowly creep up. This is extremely important ie. the 'price appreciation' expectations are now realistic. What should you do:
1) Copy and paste the said weekend post[below] and add a 'realistic' target date of completion for each stage out to December 2014
2) Change your mind re the personal emails and instead provide a weekly update on AIRcoin bitcointalk thread.
THATS IT !
Aircoin's Team intelligence & abilities are without question so if you follow the above general strategy success will be assured.
Sure, it's not like coins die in the crypto world in a few months....(light sarcasm)
Your timeline of "until the end of the year" will KILL support for AIRcoin. The implementation of the wallet features will help to make this coin stand out, and should be the first item completed..sooner rather than later. Also I agree with the earlier post that communication is paramount. Without communication, interested parties will become disinterested.
You seem to be overlooking the mining community, without the miners and pools, there will be no distributed transactions for AIRcoin. No miners=no transactions=dead coin. Sure, you can trade the coin, but where will the transactions be processed? You could transfer coins from your wallet, and wait for the confirmations...and wait for the confirmations...and wait for the confirmations. You get my point I am sure.
As for the statement that AIRcoin will not get left behind, how many coins come out weekly? And since the ideas have been presented in the whitepaper, how many of those ideas that drew people to this coin could be copied before the end of the year using the ideas that AIRcoin developed? Maybe not using the same exact strategies, but, maybe with new ones that work. Waiting, in my humble opinion, is not an option. Making less frequent communications with the community, again, not a good option. By Christmas, AIRcoin, if the dev team waits that long, will be
behind 99.9% of the coins that copy the idea and improve upon it.
