Not all things are obvious and I suppose there should be more updates. Nonetheless, here is some of the recent news:

Site updated with news widget and some color and formatting changes just yesterday
Faucet is monitored, funded and many Troptions are requested daily
Pool now seems to be stable with many users as well as solo miner connections
Programmers are paid and at work as we speak to create a clone of block explorer for verifying troptions
Programmers are paid, however, having some challenges creating a paper wallet
There are conference calls every week to develop the property protocols and local currency ideas that are available in the latest QT client we intentionally used
Troptions were not only not premined but had small amount only for the first 1000 blocks
The several individuals who released Troptions are committed to the development of the block chain for its many uses including smart property, multi sig, escrow, proof of, etc
We have placed Odesk jobs looking for specialists to help with building the infastructure
We are contacting exchanges, visited one exchange, and are looking for help to create a version for Android and a clone of html CoinPunk for browsers and IOS

If anyone has the skills to work with this protocol and make the appropriate changes we are open and committed to bounty or payment or donations or a thanks, please contact us.

The founders also have several other active bitcoin related sites and do not want to do promotions in this thread, however, to show that things are being done, we have recently created an auction type site where anyone can offer ANY alt currency for trade with no fees. It is brand new, but could serve a purpose for those coins not yet on an exchange. That site is www.BidOnCrypto.com

There have been requests about getting on exchanges, and to be quite frank, I would like to see it, however, without making this post too long let me just quote a wise statement, "For those who really understand the Block Chain, they are not worried about the price (or exchange), as the Block Chain is so much more." We would like to see Troptions used in local economies or organizations as a mechanism of trade for the Block Chain benefits and we are seeking ideas through using the dormant features of the QT client and block chain to perform this function in a way that does not conflict with other economies or organizations if wanted or need be. This is for another discussion.

So, there are people at this full time, but maybe the communication is wanting???

Okay take what ever resources you have left and apply that to graphics and marketing. You got something good here. www.BidOnCrypto.com could be the next bitmit.
I had a buddy who developed a product years ago that would deliver media in real time. They had 1 competitor whose product was horrible. But the one thing they had was a good sales team. Long story short his company flopped even though he had a better product.

1. Offer bounties for new pools, graphics
2. Listen to the people. You need a new logo and a better website. I do like the the little super nova inside the T it catches your eye.
4. Offer free coins for people posting their address to get constant bumps on the forums. Your faucet is paying out too much. Put those funds to people that post an address.
5. create twitter and facebook account and get social
6. Be present in IRC join #troptions
