So let me get this straight. Recent developments...
- Datacoin has an excellent online wallet (krypte.net) that makes the file storage/browsing features incredibly easy to use
- Datacoin added support for files up to 1MB instead of 128KB, and it will now possible to increase that limit
- It is now possible to update files on the Datacoin chain
- Datacoin is on 2 of the 3 major alt exchanges, Bter and Coins-E. Cryptsy is also aware of DTC but won't add it because of the potentially large blockchain. The Datacoin dev announced recently that he is working on a lite wallet to get around this.
- A potentially big new alt exchange is opening up in February that will support Datacoin on launch (comkort.com)
In spite of all this, the community has not grown at all. Activity on this thread has dried up, /r/datacoin has not grown, there have been less blockchain uploads lately. This seems to be completely because there is no PR activity going on at all. For instance, look at the Chinese DTC announcements and you will see that there has been no updates since a couple of weeks after the launch.
They are completely unaware of the above developments and still think DTC is just a primecoin scamclone, and so goes the rest of the world who might be interested in DTC.

I personally have been waiting for when I think DTC has bottomed out to get in so today has been buy time for me. The fact that the price has remained steady over the past 6 days despite no renewed interest suggests to me that only strong hands are left in the market.
Datacoin is also possibly far more distributed than other coins, according to the top 100 wallets. However the block explorer seems to be down so I will link that info asap. This hint of healthy distribution suggests that pumping and dumping will be difficult and less likely.
So what does this mean?Datacoin seems poised to have a good rally, but we need awareness. The first thing we need to do is
get datacoin.info and krypte.net translated into Mandarin. That is why I propose a
bounty and
I will pledge 30TC.
We also need to start getting DTC onto some more exchanges. Guys, forget Cryptsy. That will not happen until the lite wallet is made available. Instead lets focus on:

http://blockr.io/addcoinDon't just write "add dtc pls" like all the scamcoiners do when they flood requests. Write why you actually want to trade DTC. With easy access to up to date information, they are much more likely to add it.
