Some thoughts about DTC :
- Adopting Proof of Stake would have benefited the adoption of the DTC wallet (since you need the wallet to do PoS minting, and as a side effect you have more peers up), this could really help propagate the data, right now connections have dropped dramatically since people stopped solo mining, I am getting less than 6 connections on my krypte.net node.
- Price reduction WILL drive adoption up, think about it, storage will be way cheaper (it was insanely high at 0.001 BTC). IMO price needs to  go further down.
- Difficulty is going down, so it will be easier for everybody to get coins and spend them on the network, not dump them on exchanges since it won't be worth it.
- There is enough interest in that coin, it's just that there is not enough interest from traders, and that's not necessarily bad. Lately there are only traders and speculators in this subforum, this is about disruptive technology, not about trading, some people needs to understand this.

- You seem really upset about the price drop. Just learn to dump at the right time, which for most coins is on the first day of trade, most of them only go down afterwards (there are exceptions). Keep in mind that price is mostly driven by market manipulators (even on BTC but on a smaller scale). Given enough resources you can take your shitcoin to the moon and stay there while you dump.

- The personal blockchains feature is already being developed in Protoshares, Counterparty and Mastercoin (not sure about the last one), so I really hope to see them in Datacoin in the near future.
