I think it has more to do with a lack of marketing than anything else.  Despite its having been in the top three cryptos (in volume) at one point during the last few months (which is how I initially found it), not too many people seem to know about it and even fewer seem to have done any real due diligence on it since much of the altcoin money seems to be going towards chasing pump and dumps rather than buying and holding altcoins with strong fundamentals.

Black Halo isn't helping BC. I don't think anything will help VRC.

People dumping crapcoins all around. BC, DOGE, LTC and VRC keeps falling.

vrc be just fine, just keep buying... you won't regret it...


 



it is clear that there has been well organized influence on the market since the start of vrc's rise on june 1st and that hasn't changed...

everythings working towards a bigger picture and an end game of making vrc a top coin.

if u are newer to crypto and were not around for the shenanigans of the btc or ltc boom dont fret... we've seen all this before...

Aside from what wizrig failed to deliver, I don't think that any of the things you said really equate to marketing.  Yes, they're building a strong community and the DEVs are visible and eager to answer people's questions but the little bit of marketing that's been done seems to have come more from the grassroots level and not from any sort of advertising campaign or anything like that.  That's fine with me, though (as I'm not really looking at my VRC investment as a get-rich-quick scheme but rather one that will consistently grow over the course of time.)  I also have to say, though, that I don't think that they're going about it in the wrong way because it's quite apparent that a strong community is what seems to attract people the most, as opposed to marketing ploys or things like that.  It will probably take some time but from all that I've gathered thus far, the devs are serious about making VeriCoin one of the top coins so I'm more than willing to wait and see (and I'm actually impressed by all that they've accomplished thus far, given the very short period of time that VeriCoin has been around.)  You also have to realize that from what they've hinted at, that they seem to have other things going on behind the scenes which they aren't willing to publicly talk about for the sake of keeping their ideas from being stolen by other altcoin development teams, which I think is a smart move in and of itself.

Nobody liked my comic today?

Dang 300k!! You may be able to get 2-4btcs for that. Unless you wait then maybe 1-2btc.

Looks like we're done here.

I should've seen this coming with the immaturity shown by the devs and the teacher's pet Socal.

Hope you guys enjoy the fact that I'm a BROKE student(you devs certainly can't relate) and I've lost $1500. Hey, how much is a plane ticket to Jersey? I'll bring my golf clubs too and Pat can decide which one I use to break his knee-caps with.

I hope some of you got out when I pointed out the eery similarities between this coin and blackcoin over a month ago! Isn't it great when wizfarm and IE get involved with something?

I'm pretty sure he meant that if you've been in the crypto market since that time that you'd know firsthand that the prices can and will fluctuate pretty wildly and that VeriCoin in particular seems to have come under attack from outside forces ever since it first began to rise.  He's right, though, as is evident by the stolen MintPal coins, the MintPal DoS attack, the attacks on the VRC nodes, the overly aggressive, downward moving sell walls which seem to occur most often during times of extremely low volume (when the markets are the least liquid and hence, more easily manipulated), the increasing levels of FUD, etc.  As I told someone yesterday, it almost seems as if someone is painting the tape in a downward direction while spreading FUD in order to scare prospective investors away, but of course that is only speculation on my part and at this point has not been proven.  It probably sounds too tinfoil-hattish to some but I've seen it before, though, when I actively traded tech-stocks during the dot-com bubble of the late 1990's and today's usual suspects seem to look and act almost exactly the same as the ones back then.  It got so bad at one point that some of the more aggressive bashers of that time (like Janice Shell) eventually got sued (see: http://www.secinfo.com/dPx8x.64.htm ).

Wow that's a bit harsh dude.

Sorry you lost money with this, but IT IS CRYPTO!! Most people lose money, especially now. Have you seen the trends?? Just look at Mintpal, its a sea of red..

I'm just having a bit of fun here adding some humour to a shitty situation, I don't mean anyone any real harm.

Making threats of violence is not on..

Making funny pictures on the other hand, golden =P
