You want developments, features, services......... you need funding. If you don't nothing happens.

.. just add, transparency and coordination!
New coin will kill this coin, especially right now when there are 200+ other crap coins. It's not rocket science. Put some investment back into what you invested in and grow the innovation. Unless this coin is dead (e.g. blockchain issues?) there is no reason for another coin. If the coin has no more growth, than yes another coin with dev funding and complete new start and hopefully you don't have a mass exit for people just going to another coin at that point. I think you need to think this over a little more. I am sure there are things like the "framework" that has been discussed.
1. one more coin even in direct competition to WC will not have a great effect like you say there are like 400 others according to CMC. There are 5 coins coming out daily all competing against WC with no possible benefits to WC at all.
2. this companion coin can only create
a/ price rise in WC due to people HAVING to purchase WOC with WC ( i do not agree it should be for sale from the ipo in any other way) these WC can not be dumped or spent until community agrees.
b/ a development pot to pay for coders/marketing and project managers. ( we don't have this and this is a major issue and reason for slow progress)
c/ we can introduce new features like anon that may hamper WC itself since we want WC to be whiter than white. Hence bringing in people that want all the new features along with their btc and support.
d/ any features we introduce to woc can be mapped over to WC later if we like, all services the dev pot creates can be open to both coins.
therefore, the companion coin poses no negatives that any other of the 400 current coins and the ones released daily don't pose already. It brings a lot of advantages.
