This was always my issue from the beginning. $300k is ALOT of money. For that much I could quit my job at my current pay levels for almost 10 years, if I reinvest most of it back I wouldn't probably ever have to work again. The question is was $300k worth of work put into this.

If i'm a typical potential user of Viacoin, if I open the wallet, what else do I see but a regular cryptocoin wallet. I can send and receive coins, that's it. To the average person who knows little about Bitcoin, they will ask what's so special, they are told they can trade assets with Viacoin but there is no real clear direction how to do this or what is even meant by this.

Consider a project like Factom, at the heart of it it is very simple, it's software for documenting hash on the bitcoin blockchain. It's something even Viacoin can do. It is not some mega project like Ethereum led by a team of brilliant software engineers, but its marketcap is growing and they just got awarded a $200k contract from the Department of Homeland Security. Why? Because they run it like a business and instead of waiting for business to come to them, they go out and seek the business themselves.  Instead of waiting for people to write apps for them, no doubt they are going to government, banking and corporate IT departments and giving tutorials on how to use the software themselves and why it could help them. Crypto is something new, even guys who have been programming for years get boggled by it, you can't just sit around and think the world is going to instinctively gather around it, this has always been my problem with Bitcoin elites who spend tens of thousands to all attend these stupid conferences just to talk about all the cool things crypto could do instead of actually spending the time and money to actually do it. How long has Bitcoin sidechains been bantered about now with little to show for it? Stop preaching to the choir to a room full of other people already into Bitcoin and actually preach to people who have never bought a Bitcoin in their life.

$300k could buy ALOT of airline miles, alot of hotel stays, and make alot of business connections. Apple got their start with a $700k investment and look where they are today.

When you consider there are other crypto devs doing some amazing things out there with even 1/100th of the resources the Viacoin ICO raised, this is why people ask questions.
