Is a debate really taking place over a fourth developer being paid insane amounts of money happening based on his promises? This community really needs leadership, and visionaries. When these people think, and give you solutions, instead of insisting criticism as "FUD". Perhaps its time to look at what these people say more seriously. Lets start by turning this discussion into potentially something valuable.
Would a better option not be to figure out a way to bring 10's , if not 10's of thousand developers to the VeriCoin platform? What gives Bitcoin an advantage is people have confidence in the services, and products behind it.
What is VeriCoin? IMO VeriCoin needs to cut a lot of the fat, and figure out what it is / wants to be. AND DO THAT WELL, forget being everything to everyone.
To regain confidence in VeriCoin, IMO. We need to take about 5-10 failures off of that roadmap and streamline a realistic vision for people to champion. Stop working at everything and failing. It's time to work hard towards goals that will bring small levels of success and work up to bigger things. The time to start under promising, and over delivering is now. Can you remember the last time we have under promised and over delivered?
If the developers can start achieving this they will gain the best asset back that VeriCoin had, and that is its the "good guy" of crypto, or "bad guy" depending how you view it, either way it polarizes the market and gives you all you need to be successful, if your willing to put in the work to get there.
Start with this MN fair, give Xo all he needs to succeed. This should be the main topic of discussion in the upcoming days. The developers will not share with us what happened with coinsis, so we can watch speculation from other coins to get a clearer picture. Not ideally the way you want to research your investment. But if you cannot get the information from the source, you get it where you can.
I have posted that so many times already that just saying I agree 100% is completely unnecessary. And every one of them, just like this one, resulted in an exercise in futility.
I kind of disagree with your recommendation regarding the Minnesota Fair for I believe X has already enough support to be able to extract from that event probably the max that can be extracted which is nothing more than spreading the awareness. Now, considering the dire situation in which Vericoin finds itself, even the awareness could easily be counter-productive for anyone from the real world coming in and watching the charts and the opinions of people with evident common sense, would be more hesitant than anything else, once they become aware of the lack of aim and real resources that afflict this project. More resources for such local event, in my opinion, are unwarranted since the community has already sent -and continues sending- what I consider enough support. Once again, kudos and thanks to X for the effort but if we try to sell a product that is far from marketable, expecting success is simply not being realistic.
There are reasons why the market price is what it is. REAL reasons.
