(meanwhile, at the adults' table...)
Bumface/community, is there anything the community can be doing right now? (besides buy/hold and make a presence on the troll boxes and twitter) Maybe the community should pick ONE SPECIFIC TOPIC regarding a development, promotion or strategy and discuss that here in the thread for a while. We need to regroup a bit, and I think a great way to do that would be pick one idea and brainstorm it. At the least, we could have at least ONE page that doesn't consist of "trollolololol" and who knows, we might actually come up with some good ideas.
Bumface, I think you should consider giving a "state of the coin address". Nothing immediate, as it should be well thought out, polished and presented to the community in a clear and formal manner. Pick a day in the near future (and tell the community WHICH day) and on that day, post a formal address to the community highlighting the progress since launch, the pitfalls, and what your expectations are for the near future. Now, I know you like to keep some of the dev plans close to the chest, and that's fine, but sharing some general ideas would not only bring confidence to the coin, but also to you as the lead developer. Also, the more we talk about the coin and all involved, the more we can dilute the spam that litters this forum.
*Edited for clarity*
Couldn't agree more.
I think the first thing we should do is dragging miners to the coin. Changing nfactor every few weeks is nothing good for them but with every change
power usage, hashrate and difficulty drops and
amount of coins mined stays the same, and that should be promoted. We need to create simple and comprehensive guide to mine with some basic settings for every major GPU, for example R9 290, R9 280, R9 270 and hashrates we can get with present nfactor. If anyone has problems with config, there is a thread on our official forum
http://ultracointalk.org/ (forum is down ATM

) As soon there are more miners, the price would go up because of the competition. UTC is still one of the most profitable coins to mine, we need to advertise this.
