Regarding tech imho VNL is better coin than any other coin out there so there is nothing wrong to say that. If anyone is offended or threatened with that fact it's his problem
Regarding marketing, price positioning, communication about future plans and roadmap there are many better handled projects. I remember john-connor said that marketing will come but I just don't want to see VNL ends like Preston Tucker super advanced car.
Marketing is a funny thing. I've been following altcoins for about 3 years and I can't remember once when I got interested, was informed, swayed, or bought a coin based on seeing some official 'marketing'. the best marketing is a rising coin and a community getting excited about it. Forced and contrived marketing beyond a well made ANN which we already have and Twitter etc is really not important. I firmly believe if you build it they will come, articles will be written as Vanilla coin gains in popularity as more and more people find out about it on here.
I think Vanilla coin is in a unique situation right now, ie doubts about bitcoins utility which Vanilla coin solves. And like I said before people shouldn't sit looking at a coin that's worth less than 10cents holding Bitcoin IF they Truely believe this is going to 1$ at least. If you do where's the logic, saying it and doing that? We got to put our money where our mouth is.
