A $100 "volume bot" and the cooperation of one single exchange would easily fix the volume issue.

The bigger problem is the cost of marketing to raise awareness.  After they do a simple merge mine patch and add some security and other improvements to the code, of course.

The cost of marketing is the biggest reason BK needed to grab 50%+ of the outstanding coins.

Well, that and a deep seeded desire to have absolute control over your own coin, improve security, [and to make even more money].  lol
