I'm one of the bigger investors in this coin (although I probably have more btc than most of you so it may be a "smaller" investment than some of you in a relative way)
I wonder if the people on this thread are Québécois. Because it is really funny how you are being totally Québécois about this coin. Let me tell you a little story. Québec has spawned some of the most internationally awesome artistic entities like Cirque du Soleil, Céline Dion, Sid Lee as well as famous festivals, movies and game studios. It remains the most untapped area of North America because our artists are awesome, our labor is cheap and so is our cost of living. This is why I remain a proud Silicon Valley outsider as I do whatever the fuck I want in my basement apartment mining information asymmetry on the Internet and extruding money from it for the past 24 years. One of the things we Québecois do is label everything we do as a failure if it fails to reach international audiences in no time flat. Remember that most of us live in a constricted bubble of government sponsored French-speaking media. It's not about the money, it's about the recognition. Really... I have seen countless awesome 100% original projects lose critical support because they cannot compare immediately to those endeavors that took years to gain critical mass. We are huge lobsters and excellent at discouraging people from striving for more than their meager existence as government employees. This has been impacted even more by the destruction of long-term memory that happens to digital natives. I am a digital native but I had already lived half my life in 'analog time' (Heck, I used to have to print out 'the facebook' and send it via snail mail dammit...)
Québecoin is just one coin out of 650 (in my database anyway) but it has a stated purpose that goes beyond early adopters need for speculation. It also has a long-term distribution model after a period of informing the greater public about it's existence and use. The 'greater public' does not read Bitcointalk.org. Also, the coin is behaving exactly as I had planned BEFORE it came out. I also noted the dangers associated with a coin that has a single developer. I know how hard it is emotionally and physically to be the lone developer of a product. Heck, I have been 50% shareholder in businesses of people who represent 100% of the company's brand and brain knowing well that when they drop out (or die of cancer, which is more likely it seems), so does the floor under our business.
If JP is working on an important bit of the project than, good for him. He is spending weeks on end contributing to the most important decentralized R&D project the world has ever seen.
The new floor is simply a wonderful opportunity for me to buy all your Québecoins, thank you very much. Because I live in Québec and Québecoin is just the sort of branded coin I need to use in my 'crypto for teens' classes and to give away to everybody I know. That is my Québecoin profiteering scheme. And the only Québécoin schemes that have promise in the long run are the one that involves actual work in the actual real world of Québec.
