Well, the project mainly needs more use cases which will be realized to increase transactions and to attract more users to get into NEM and use the coin. The Poi algorithm is ideal for users with low stacks so we have advantages over other coins.
This project was just too slow. Unless crazy stuff come out of stealth VERY soon, this thing is done. Lot's of non-exponential improvements won't do, network effects will win out. This project needs (needed) exponentially better tech/product offering.
The new algorithm doesn't do it and SOUND OF NEM (LOL) sure as hell won't get us there either.
Overall, I'm disappointed. Hope to be proven wrong.
