Part of the appeal and value of TorCoin is that there is only going to be one TorCoin , period.
The TOR name is indeed PART OF WHAT GIVES THE COIN VALUE
Someone can go create another anonymous coin - call it OnionCoin or PrivateCoin or whatever - but that coin will never have the uniqueness of TorCoin
Which is why I will never, ever change the name of this coin. PERIOD
It is always going to be TorCoin and it will therefore always be unique.
That's why I haven't sold one single TOR since I started this project ..
I am sad to see Carsen go. He seemed like a good guy to me, maybe in a little over his head but nonetheless a good guy.
With that said, the controversy surrounding Carsen (which I believe caused the price drop) is now dead. But if you want the price to go way back up to where it was earlier there are some things that must be done:
1. Any successful coin MUST have community support. No one can arbitrarily make a decision or the coin is dead. If the community that supports the coin wants a name change or a logo change then do it or people will simply sells their coins and move on; or they will fork the coin and everyone will move to that.
2. Put together a good development team. Very important!
3. Add additional and unique features like DASH or PIVX did, then set a timeline for implementation. People may not like DASH but they did one hell of a job of rebooting that coin!
Do these thing and the community and investors will take the coin seriously.
Thanks for your input. Let me address:
1. Price - I don't care about the price drop. Makes no difference to me if TorCoin is at $1 or $10. I'm not selling anyway. The PRICE of a coin has nothing to do with its health. That is just speculators.
2. Community support - the price dropped because people thought the TOR name would change. It will not. If people want a different name, they should go find another coin - like one of Carsen's new creations :-) TorCoin has value in good part because of the NAME. hence I would never change it, and nobody in their right mind would want me to change it.
3. Dev Team - yes of course, I will hire good devs and most importantly devs with good rep. To be honest, I did not check Carsen's rep before hiring him. I WOULD STILL HAVE HIRED HIM, but I would have asked him to create an anonymous account, obviously! Only later did I find out about his rep.
I WANT THE NEW DEV TO be APPROVED BY THE COMMUNITY. Suggest me some names, folks!
4. New Features - yes of course I will add new features once I get some new devs, what did you have in mind? Right now I am focused more on usability (MacOS and Android wallets coming soon!) and on getting listed on some bigger exchanges, and getting into top 100 of Coinmarketcap. That takes time and advertising, please wait and see the good things coming :-)
