At tompool we are listed as totally forked . Could some one tell him to update and remove negative comments , I have tried but he just ignore me. Or ask him to remove tek from his mining pool . And I think the 40% need to be reduce , look at ppc pays 1% and still many followers and price is in good range , I think tek is better . For the good of tek and improve price we need to do something . Tek devs , your input on this is needed greatly . Thanks
If you study PPC price graph, they too are down greatly from last year, as are many mature coins. Everyone's fighting for mindshare, and sentiment seems to favour short-term profits -- look how much money has piled into XPY. TEK is a long-term investor's coin, and I think we need to really emphasize that.
Assets we have are maturity of the coin, relative rarity, a good wallet (now), honest and committed developer, a loyal core group of investors, and of course the unique and attractive staking reward.
Problems we have might be attributed to the general depression of crypto-currencies, our relative obscurity, low liquidity and utility, a smallish community, almost no promotion, and competition from other high-stake coins. Though, the latter might be an asset. (TEK, being the first high-stake coin, was often accused of being distructively inflationary.) Also, I believe the risks and general complexity of managing a staking wallet are scaring away many non-technical investors . Perhaps an Electrum-like, easy-to-use wallet for desktop and mobile would lower the barrier of entry. Partnering with a coin processor may encourage further trade.
Above all, I think it imperative that we don't make drastic changes to the coin in search of quick returns. It will only undermine long-term confidence. The switch to NVCS, while necessary, was clearly disruptive. I believe we still yet have not fully recovered from it. But if we maintain the foundation of TEK, add features where practical, and actively promote our strengths and chip away at the weaknesses, we'll see confidence and participation rise and realize gains in the future. Patience is the key word here, friends. Cheers.
