This may be a stupid question but if every miner who uses claymore or visits this thread decided to form a price cartel - let´s say no selling under 100 dollars - wouldn´t that make the overall price go up
That might slow the fall - but there aren't enough folks here to be able to force more than a VERY SHORT TERM price rise at best compared to everyone mining or speculating in ZEC.
There is *ZERO* fundamental reason for ZEC to ever get popular long-term at this point - the wallet is a joke, the developers can't seem to fix the issues, ZEC offers NO new fundimental improvements over existing altcoins, and there is essentially ZERO vender adoption of "accept ZEC for payment" to date.
This might change eventually, but that last point is *THE* make or break killer for any altcoin, and very very few of them have ever made any headway on it.
