But Rimbit looks dying as well and if you do this there is a high chance to be dumped even more (thought I'm not sure if there will be good buy orders for dead/dying coins). What is the reason for even considering doing this?
Our userbase is very different from those who are comfortable on the Internet and many of our users are using a forum for the first time
Maybe this is your main problem. Any given cryptocurrency needs adoption and for that it should be explained in a simplest manner. Personally, I don't think that such step will help you in any way, but this is just my opinion. You mentioned PMP, which I've never heard off. Why do you think it needs to be revived? How do you think a cryptocurrency with such name should be marketed?
P.S. When I said "dying", I wasn't referring to the exchanges.
We have done trial runs with other dead coins, so we know what to expect.
Adoption for Crypto, tends to come from users already into Crypto and who also follow this forum... We have been able to introduce people from outside the community and that is what the majority of our userbase comes from.
By combining the 2 groups (crypto and average user), we aim to also have the opportunity to see more collaboration between the 2 groups and you may have noticed that Rimbit members who are replying on this forum have low posts counts because this is so new to them.
As for PMP, they did start out as PMC, but they didnt have a business model that included funding and relied to heavily on the principals of "community" by giving away the coin, which is a disaster from the start.
