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.

Just for clarification - what is the current status of BTER?  Are they going out of business or not?  Do we still want to push to get 16M XCR off of there or is it back to being a routine place to exchange XCR for BTC?  Are they accepting XCR deposits?

Mandy, I will also be voting for you this evening when I get home to my secure computer.  You are correct that there is a disinterest in voting new noderunners up and I am as guilty of that as anybody.  So hold on for 24 hours, you're about to go up (along with the other standby delegates).

I have asked Coinomat when their cutoff is for monthly coin selection and I intend to flood their poll with paid votes just before the deadline to get Crypti to the top.  We need fiat exchange now and I'm gonna try to make that happen.  

I'm also waiting for the new whitepaper to come out before trying to go on a major campaign to recruit a bunch of Peercoin and Bitshares none runners to be Standby delegates.  I've got a list of 130 total usernames (90 of them also have accounts here at Bitcointalk).   These guys are prime candidates to run a Crypti node, since they already have run a PoS / DPoS node elsewhere.  Like I say, I am waiting for an updated white paper to steer them to...when will that be out?

Hey, maybe they'll buy into that big Poloniex wall...

We absolutely need to get Cryptsy fixed NOW.  I've written about it to them.  Can the devs take this on as a priority and keep hammering it until they fix it?

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.
