What could be more democratic than the community voting on the direction of the coin? I don't care if you have 250 or 250 million coins. If this coin is simply left alone and things continue as they have, then Tips will continue to sink to the bottom. When you bought the coin, or what you paid for it is totally irrelevant.
Patience is the last thing I would recommend. Have you noticed how Darkcoin has been doing? They are the primary competition.
Pick a name, logo, and patch things up with people like Fayens that were making huge contributions to the coin. He had some talent, and several other people with marketing background seem to have good business acumen.
Nothing wrong with a vote and discussion. What I mean is the "leave name alone" wasn't a choice. not democratic. well, about as democratic as your government is. Pick red or blue haha..
Darkcoin is new. This coin has already been to the moon and back, for now it's stabilized in lower outer orbit. It can go up again, and it more than likely will. For that my friend, you need patience. if you want instant success like Darkcoin or whatever go for another coin launch. But I haven't even looked at this darkcoin yet but i bet it will go up... then down... then up, then down... ppl are in this for profit, not because they think the store will accept darkcoins or whatever
Investors want a STABLE coin, not a just hype. and yes marketing is very important, but it has to come with patience too.
I disagree with pretty much everything you said. Not entirely sure why you are trying to throw daggers. Pick red or blue? What does that have to do with anything?
The poll had Fedora as an option, which was the equivalent of leave the coin alone. Most people selected another name. Expecting to hit lighting in a bottle again just because dogecoin started as a joke and went mainstream is unlikely. TiPS makes much more sense and distances itself from religious undertones that some may find offensive.
Darkcoin may very well go up and down repeatedly. Every coin does. You brag about having 250 million coins, but don't know anything about the chief rival to this coin. They have a much more effective marketing plan, which is really the only difference.
TiPS has great branding potential. Fedoracoin doesn't have anything. Using TiPS for micro payments and tipping people makes a lot of sense. The profit you speak about won't come until this coin is re-branded, has been effectively marketed, a re-designed logo, and leadership from the development team. Leaving this coin on its current path would be flushing your money down the toilet.
