Have you though about changing distribution rate (inflation rate). At this point no one would hold the coins because the number of coins generated is too high (same thing happens with PASC). There is no incentive to hold the coin, only to mine it and sell it. This will cause crashes on the price if it's pumps and a long long depreciation in prices.
I think what you could do different to the original pascal is the distribution rate. Make it more investor holding friendly. Volumes right now are less than 10k, that's nothing and I think no one would be bothered with less coins generated per day.
I know this a kind of old post but dayum boy do some reading! PASL block reward is half of what PASC is and mining dont kill a coin anyway. For instance Decred seems to be holding up pretty good and thats been the Dual mining target for most n00bs.
Its slow for Alts this time of year every year, and on top of that we got BTC center stage, getting ready to exit soon (I hope). Its almost time to pull out the alts and play with them.
Since this coin is not a even a year old I think it looks pretty good where its at on the charts. Go buy some alts while they are cheap and relax!
