This is why I'm so **** with DASH Evolution and also waiting for so long to see it come into production. HLM is not a new project, it's an existing project that needs to deliver what was conceived two years ago:

long term? ... seriously? ... one can plan and plan and plan then make inroads to implement these plans - only to be stopped short because the ruling bodies ( yes - government mainly ) has placed a piece of legislation doing one thing or another ... or has china not taught us anything at all? ...
plans and long term optimism is great ... REALITY and the functionality of what spr brings to the table is another ...

"Long term? Seriously?"
Yes. 100%.
Short-termism is shitcoinsim.
I have previously defined shitcoinism as:
noun, devoted love, support, and pack hunting for one's shitcoin. technology development zero.
If you think you can build something sustainable in a few months, or a year, then you've never worked on a real project before. As you say, look at Bitcoin: that is still in beta since 2008/09.
I do, however, like miners like you (unfair sweeping assumption coming, for illustrative purposes only). You provide liquidity when others mine and hodl or people invest and hodl.
Miners on projects such as SPR are very, very welcome. Why? Well, unlike the Nr.1 loser, Litecoin (I could never understand why aspiring to being Nr.2 was held up as an aspiration), we won't have thousands and thousands of coins spewing out every day and being dumped on the markets by miners to pay for costs.
At some point miners will get their rewards cut, or they should, in order to give extra incentives to servicenode holders - to start with. Sir Crouton will tell you that he thinks miners should get zero rewards and be cut out of the equation altogether - all the rewards should go to servicenodes who will end up supporting the network. I have disagreed with this view since it was first aired as miners are still needed in the background to provide a second tier of network security, as well as liquidity. But the solo mining emphasis brings an extra dimension to the future plans and prospects of SPR.
Plans and future optimism (i.e. not shitcoinism)There is no point competing with Bitcoin. And there is no point competing with DASH, which is competing with bitcoin.
In the pursuit of a valuation equalling bitcoin, I think you have to come up with an alternative plan to direct competition. I think you have to create an eco-system that itself is in demand rather than producing a simple currency that will never be used as a currency without an inherent reason. For that to become clearer, I have been informed we will have to wait until mid next week.
Later today I will provide a mini update, as we thought the new ANN was going to be up by this weekend.
Bold and size increase emphasis added.
