Again, I am going to disagree on that. Pink should not pursue what other coins do. Not at all. Certainly not what Darkcoin or Cloakcoin pursue. And yes, people is ONLY interested, for the most part, in whatever fad brings momentum to the market to cash in on profits... which is quite legitimate and desirable ONLY if it is not at the expense of too many resources or the general direction (strategy) of the coin which is aimed, if I am correct, precisely at the non-niche general market... or just the opposite of the niches that Dark, Cloak and most of the other P&D coins are aimed at.
The "community" ask for all kinds of things, because the foremost interest of the "community" in the short term, is the price of the coin. That's why the leadership and the development team should keep their ideas quite clear and cater to the desires of that (part of the) community ONLY when it is in the interest of the overall strategy.
I don't want to start an argument with you but just wanted to point out the strengths sumgye highlighted of having a community engaged in the direction of the coin. It was the reason the team did all this work on anon in the first place as they are attentive to the community and work diligently to make this coin better. I think you should do more research about this community before labelling the community in for a quick buck. I have read all the posts and most of the community have been here for the long haul and we have picked up valuable members along the way like yourself. Your post disagrees with itself you are saying listen to me I am a community member and would like to voice my opinion on direction of coin. Great that's what we do here. But the part I don't like is how you then ask developers to disregard the "community" as steering the coin in the wrong direction. You just weakened your argument by saying your comments should be disregarded. The developers have continually encouraged the community to voice their opinion and even addressed the less popular ideas so I don't think they share your view of disregarding the community.

Obviously, you did not get the point and why the word "community" is in two instances in quotes and one without them. I thought I made the distinction quite clear, obviously I didn't: The "community" - the part that is interested mostly in the quick rise in the price to unload for a profit-, obviously is going to be quite vocal about demanding whatever it is the current perceived or real fad while the community -those who want Pink to succeed and reach mainstream adoption- would rather have the talent, manpower and resources dedicated towards pursuing the general strategy of the coin. BOTH are legitimate but it is the job of the leadership to cater to the strategy instead of "wasting" time and resources in pursuing short term gains that would produce inevitable immediate dumps by those only or mostly interested in trading.
Like I said, both groups and their "demands" are legitimate but since the resources are limited and will always be, the focus should be in the overall strategy even at the expense of some impatients quitting along the way.
You should know that I have already labelled this community as one of the best in crypto. And there's nothing wrong in being in it for a quick buck. There would be quite a bit wrong with dedicating too many resources to cater to that part of the community and my contention is that PinkEE is probably a result of precisely that.
Thank you for considering me a "valuable member" but I am not a member just yet. Just a very interested observer with a few opinions.
