Before it is too late. If it is not too late already.

Unless Crypto Kingdom goes bust, XMR cannot go bust.

Instead of going bust, CK has a target of 10,000 players by the end of 2016.

Sir, what are the means/strategy to achieve this goal? I hope it is a legitimate goal, not a dream (without a good strategy and marketing it indeed is just a dream).

I believe this is absolutely a legitimate goal but also interested in hearing more about the marketing plan. How will more users outside of the Monero community be introduced to the game?

Until the GUI is done, the Official marketing schedule is limited to scoping and planning.

Of course informal word-of-mouth stuff shall proceed apace, especially now the DB is done and the RAM req is reduced to <100MB.

Who says so and why?
With 0.9 unofficial GUIs should be quite alright - is there any problem I don't know about that is addressed by the official fancy GUI?
I expect marketing an altcoin among those thousand altcoins to be a tough job anyway and it could see it's results only gradually. People not familiar with Bitcointalk would hardly invest anyway.
No need to be hasty but be reasonable, keeping momentum.
Waiting for perfection and a big pump seems fishy.
Steep emission of coins and slow code development (improving a bad code is a though job) made quite a big damage already.

Btw, the website still sucks big time if we strive for perfection..

Simply because people prefer an official fancy GUI over a third party GUI in the altcoin atmosphere. Also agree that keeping momentum is important.

You know it is open source right? You can make a pull-request to adjust it to the way you like. I agree the website could be better and Rias also gave some proper feedback on how to improve it. However, most contributers don't have that much time and voluntary spend their spare time on working on Monero and I rather have them doing that on more important stuff than the website currently.

There is much more to building a website than a couple of pull requests with incremental changes - without a holistic vision and prior thorough discussion about the ideas in the community how to present Monero.
I bet a fund rasing at getmonero would be uber successful. But again, there is much more to this than giving money to someone to scribble something, put the same old logo on top and write some code in javascript to make things interactive.

We don't want to end like the Linux on the desktop did, right?
