Recruiting people to run a node is not spam at all... that is not what I implied.
I mean only that, if one wants people to join the forum and start using XCR, the full suite of features need to be ready - otherwise price movements will be utter speculation and nothing more.
I think your plan to recruit people to run nodes is great, actually. Hopefully many will come onboard. I will set up a node myself, but only in a few months time when I am back home full-time.
I think this type of thinking is part of the problem - people want others to go out there and SPAM everybody about this or that coin.
XCR is not ready yet! Hello!? Those that bought, great, we expect the devs to come through and fight through issues and problems that arise - they have shown they are up to the challenge. Once devs finalize custom block chains and dapps start rolling out - THEN we can start calling attention to the project.
Right now, the project is more or less in stealth - as these projects SHOULD BE, btw.
Why should the price get pumped up right now? Just so you can sell and make a profit? Either this entire project will evolve and people will enter this space OR the project will fail. At this stage, there is little reason to beg people to enter XCR if they are not already believers on what the protocol might be capable of.
I think a lot of Crypti's problem is just that nobody has heard of its comeback from the PoT failure and its rebirth as a DPoS coin. Somebody show me one news article on that topic. I don't think you can.
As a DPoS coin, we need 101 individuals running nodes. Currently there are only about a dozen or so, most of them Foundation with four newcomers still waiting for enough votes to get into the 101 Club. There needs to be a recruitment to go from Foundation members running all the nodes to 101 people running nodes with 90% of them outside the Foundation. Contacting a very targeted and selected 140 prior PoS/DPoS node runners from other coins is not spam. I intend to make it an invitation to join us, which it is. Getting them to set up Crypti nodes is a LOT more important than getting them to buy into a Crypti buy wall at Polo.
A new whitepaper, partnership with Corona on Dapps, fiat exchange on Coinomat and getting Cryptsy back on line would do a lot towards convincing a large proportion of these 140 Peercoin / Bitshare node runners to join us. I'm waiting on the whitepaper for sure before pulling the trigger to contact them, and hopefully Coinomat and Cryptsy will not be far behind....
Current node runners from other coins joining us so Crypti can go from a 101 node DPoS network run by the Foundation to a 101 node DPoS network run by 101 individuals is the next major step for Crypti. This will yield a lot of new credibility to expand from there.
