I think that the current code is more than
good enough for now. May be it's far from
perfect. But which coin is
perfect? (I guess none, not even BTC, or LTC, or any of them out there at this moment. No coin will ever be perfect, if not only for a short moment and/or in simulations...)
And sure, anybody is free to think about long term future possibilities and even propose hard fork ideas, even right now (ah, well, even I posted my own idea about a diff retarget algorithm).
But I don't think it needs any
immediate fix(es). Simply because it is NOT
broken!
What we see now is a monotonically falling price and monotonically falling network hash rate combination.
And even if you might think (and/or [want to]
believe) otherwise, this meas that the code itself works as intended!
The hash rate and the price are in sync, as they should be. So, no problem there (in the code). At least none I can see right now and would need
immediate workarounds or fixes.
So, the coin code is NOT
broken, thus it does NOT need a
hotfix (long term improvement plans, may be, but not a fix, and definitely not a
HOTfix).
If we could agree about this and we could put aside this constant hard fork rushing festival, just for a moment, then we might let ourself see the actual and real problem(s) which effect us directly right now.
And I think that's very simple: It's the
marketing.
Please let's not forget that
hard fork festivals and constant
authority wars definitely will NOT paint a good image!
May be we should agree (with a wide vote or something) about some ground rules like who and when can speak things like * it's official *, so people aren't constantly confused and scared about what might happen in the next moment around CAT coin. (I think it's absolutely understandable if this drives everybody away of the coin. I am constantly scared myself about this, so I do know!)
Everybody needs to calm down, or be calmed down.
And most importantly, we should try to
bring back the attention of people to CAT!We need everybody: every
miners (YES, EVERY MINERS, even if you think they try to kill the coin by hopping in and out), every
investors (YES, even those who always try to buy the cheapest coins),
traders (even if you think they just want to rub you with their deals), people with marketing ideas, and generally
anybody who ever liked this coin, or just is about to picks his favorite coin.
I think if we can show that CAT is strong and solid enough again, then both the network hash rate and the price can possibly start to rise.
Day by day, mBTC by mBTC, slowly but steadily.
May be it won't hit 0.001 again in just a few weeks, but I believe it could definitely be on pair with DOGE in profitability and hash rate (yes, you know, those things come together or neither is possible) during a relatively short period if time. And that will be a good enough state. A peaceful time to think and plan the long term future which might eventually rise this coin above DOGE and the like. But if nothing else, CAT will survive.
I don't think I can say anymore about how I see this coin now.
(And for that matter, I don't think I should be the one to try and post "speeches" like this because English is not my native language and I am relatively new in this whole game.)
And I want to make it clear that these are only my subjective opinions and they are far from being something like "official" or anything.
And I won't
fight for anything, so don't point your guns and knives to my throat just yet. LOL. I am ready loose the full amount of BTC I invested into CAT. I just hope (and wish) it won't come to that.
By the way, may be I will launch a new coin a few days from now, only with a single purpose: to show how a coin with a micromanaged difficulty retarget and bad marketing might fail on the market after a HUGE
initial hype (I think I have the recipe for that). LOL.
