Something i wanted to say
...
You make some decent points.
What if we start a kickstarter campaign to make potato salad?
If a guy can gather tens of thousands of dollars for tater salad, we ought to be able to organize a campaign to fund whatever we want.
A new websites is the answer? I am not so sure, but it seems to be the buzz lately.
Personally, I shared on my FB page about MyMonero when it launched and offered 1 XMR to any friend who opened a wallet there. It went over like a turd in the punch bowl. I may not have the most tech-savvy bunch of FB friends but I do have some smart & successful friends, some who are in tech and whatnot, and I didn't get a single like or comment. Boo hoo.
Seems we are still pretty far ahead of what I foresee as a nice adoption curve with Monero and crypto in general.
Meanwhile, @pple pay and whatever response g00gle has to it are the latest payment trends. Pay with your phone via NFC.
The Core Devs will tell us "Things take time." Of course, I understand that. But, I do have to agree that some other coins are seemingly more well-organized as a community.
The official forum is a ghost town.
So, I believe we just need to collaborate to get some stuff done as a community, outside of the Core Devs. They are busy.
What do we want to do?
