Consistent and focused dev involvement increases confidence in the coin more than anything else. When a dev doesn't reply or post on the main thread, it just feels as if spectators are dancing to their own tune instead of being heard by the one in charge.
I recommend consistent schedule of dev(s) posting and announcements every 2 days for progress/Q & A, etc. Buyer confidence is necessary for any coin to thrive. Indeed, it is necessary for any investment project to succeed.
I like the idea of positive American values and the concentrated, empowered approach dev is taking in this coin. Forget the nay-sayers. If you give ear to every bitching and moaning based on nothing but pathetic personal urges to get mouthy, you will never get anything done. There are more than enough positives - those who are unwilling to see the majority of reality they do not like to acknowledge will be feeding off the crumbs that fall off the table. That is, if they are even willing to acknowledge it.
I recommend a revamp of logo to be less alt-coin like, and more dedicated. This is to make it stand out and show professionalism. Perhaps think of making it somewhat closer to the Great Seal of The United States of America, without being a copy of it. No need for red white and blue, but some thing closer to the Bald Eagle instead of this somewhat tsarish looking eagle with plucked feathers for wings.
That was my first impression - the eagle looked closer to non-American versions, and identical symbols on its talons and somewhat barren wings (Bald Eagle wings are much more full in their portrayal, as they actually are) reminded me of something else entirely.
A food for thought. No need of over politicize anything, but what is true must be upheld regardless of anyone's 'sensitivities'. You stand to gain nothing if you change at the slightest obstacle.
Seriously? I am an American and yet I feel offended by this! Don't you realize there is a world of buyers outside your country? As for the logo, so awesome as it is. Simple, clean, strong, effective. Wouldnt change a thing! great job on that.
Too bad. No group or country on earth has any need for people that need to feel 'offended' just to jump on a bandwagon. What the fuck is your problem that you have a problem with something that compared to others have achieved more and succeeded better - to the point where majority of its allies prospered extravagantly even after being defeated in wars, with their trade and economies benefiting from American dollars, and its system of governance a vast improvement from past regimes that are now such memories?
Oh wait, now that their bellies are full and comfortable they feel the liberty to bitch and moan at someone who gives a shit instead of standing up to real oppressors who they fear too much to even make a squeak.
Please, take your spineless attitude elsewhere. No one needs such people who are 'offended' as to bend over for anything.
Appeasing bitch made punk.
