I think ravencoin does not have good popularity, the proof is not much to talk about, as you make on topics, popularity in forums as well as outside forums, as a tool of success. this is the proof of ravencoin. may be less good promotions, therefore less development.
Yeah I'm aware its not all that popular outside of the gpu mining community after all it is fairly new and isn't on any major exchanges yet. I was mainly looking to get opinions on it from non-miners who are familiar with the project. Always good to get an outside perspective as those mining it are more inclined to be biased towards it, myself included.
