Well, sir, I will tell you. The promotion was, in reality, an expensive and poorly written ad that isn't visible to people not specifically looking for it. There was no WSJ piece written about it. It wasn't visible on Yahoo unless you went to the direct link. It sounds like a blatant ad to any smart reader. The hype was a pack of exaggerations as well. There were no "investors", there was no huge price jump, there was no real news coverage. Once again, the press release didn't do anything, reach anybody, or prove anything. Anybody with half a grand can get the same sort of release.
I said I would donate if the goal wasn't met when the release went out. The goal was me before that point.
Don't get me wrong, an actual media push is a great idea. However, it should be run in a transparent manner. What really irks me is your egotistical declarations. It seems like you fancy yourself as some sort of PR god that breathed value into BlackCoin. You didn't. Quiet working people like the developer (rat4), the community manager (Soepkip), and multipool developers, have given this coin real value. They shut up and put up until they have actual, quantifiable results. Soepkip's announcement about Coinkite was great. He didn't spend half of it grandstanding about his important ( and actual) role.
So please, feel free to run ads, contribute, and comment. Just don't act like you're God's gift to this community.

I am going to take the great advice of digicidal and not engage publicly with trolls. The majority of the community that took a chance and actually contributed were more than happy with the results, and that is all that matters to me. I will continue to let my actions speak for me and leave the bitterness and the cynicism to the lonely few.
