I'm actually in this coin for all the reasons arielbit isn't.
The whole point of an alt-coin is to make improvements and you can't make improvements without making mistakes. Bitcoin takes the ultra-conservative approach - no changes allowed. Evan takes the opposite approach - make changes for the sake of progress, protect the blockchain, constantly improve and try to get things right.
I didn't buy into this coin because it had a 'perfect launch' ffs. I bought it to have a horse in this race and because it has a couple of uniquely innovative qualities that I think are going to make a huge difference to the quality of electronic money - i.e. addressing 'fungibility' directly without compromising the visibility of the public aspect of the blockchain and the introduction of decentralised functional specialisation to the network.
There are hundreds of coins out there addressing all kinds of challenges, some succeeding, some not, some with perfect launches, some not. Markets will end up deciding what worked and what didn't, what's of value and what isn't as well as the impact of the coin's heritage on its valuation. In that regard, if your idiotic enough to think having a 'perfect launch' is all that matters (or even that it matters more than anything else) then your going to come away from this market skinned alive. I doubt that's the kind of advice that arielbit wants his 'newbs' to hear though
Follow arielbit/adam's mono-signal advice and your coins are going to zero nine times out of ten. (Most of his already did).
IMHO if you MUST respond to trolls, THIS is the way to do it. Please note #1; the lack of any direct quote, depriving the troll of the attention he craves. #2; the reasonable tone, without shrill or corse language. #3; Content which is a pleasure to read in its own right, and adds substance to the thread.
If the only response to trolling here was either this, or complete silence, this thread would become a true joy to read, and trolls would soon realize that they really were helping our cause. Shrill, rude, and in-kind responses only give the trolls what they want, distract from the readability of the thread, and cause lurkers to wonder if we are any different than they are. Yes the trolls are frustrating, but a consistent reasoned response, or total silence, will quickly reveal to lurkers and newbies who is worth listening to.
For those who don't have Tokenormal's silver tongue, but feel compelled to enter the fray, you might consider the suggestions offered on this link and cite the trolling techniques by number:
