I am also
very unhappy because I spend last 4 weeks by mining Xencoins all day and night and thinking where it can go.
I thought I may buy something nice for coins to my dog, because he has almost same name. I couldnot sleep because I expected huge potential and bright future for the coin. Now I can clearly see that developers were not ideal guys (politely said) but I dont want to throw away all my effort and Month of my lifetime which I put to Xencoin. I think that we can still go on. If i compare it to other coins - it is still not so bad. We can still be mining Xencoins, we can still trade them on 2 exchanges, XNC price is already so low so that it hardly can be lower.
For example Ixcoin - one of early cryptocoin. It has low value, it went through even worser periods, its developer also doesnot work much last year on project, maybe it doesnot have even its own webpage but it is still living, people are mining it and you can trade it. And some people here have big plans with Ixcoin.
However we have nothing to loose, If we move on, we may find some good people who can help us with possible future development of application and project. And meanwhile we can still be mining. If all people would stop, it would kill the coin and with it ends all hopes!
But we all could benefit if we try to solve this unwelcome situation and save the coin. There will be much worser coins, now every week are new ones and Xencoin proved to be quite vital. I started to search among my friends if anybody could help us, I simply assume it is shame to let it die. Even if you také it from pure financial point of view, as an investment. Many of us, including me couldnot afford to buy stocks or bonds because they are very expensive and in case of loss you loose much more.
I still believe that for relatively small effort we all could benefit from relatively vital coin. We cannot know what future brings, and with current price it can only grow. Someone may enable the coin to be spent for casino or poker or satoshi dice. What is the difference among cryptocoins? It is all only matter of trust and future expectation. Thus I will keep on mining and trying to help Xencoin live. At least I will try because is summer and I have time for it.
