The people coming in this thread and saying TiPS is dead are trolling. If you don't like a coin, participate in a thread of a coin you do own. Even if that were true, why would you take joy in others losing money?
We do need to start making more progress asap though. Weeks are passing without major improvements, and this is a lifetime in the world of altcoins. Dropping prices present an opportunity to buy in cheap, but without advancement the price will continue to plummet. I really don't see any leadership from the TiPS team, and the lack of consumer confidence is the reason for the precipitous drop.
Pictures of people in hats really don't sell the coin, especially if its TiPS, not Fedoracoin. I still don't think most investors understand what the name of this coin is.
I don't even know, I think there may be improvements, but the devs hang out in IRC. There needs to be someone from the devs, kind of a superviser in charge of the forum here, who connects the activities of the community and the devs. Like a messenger if you will, because right now, there is absolutely no communication. No one, really no one knows what work, if any at all, is done on this coin. And if the community even doesn't know, then how should all the other people in crypto know?!?!
We need a dev here asap. Not everyone wants to be in IRC. Bitcointalk is important also, it should not be abandoned for discussion and the working together of the community.
