Interesting. The one thing I don't completely understand is the fact that you seem to be "directionless" at the moment. Is that right? I'm all up for the coin that is "directionless" because you can let the community help in guiding you.
The community usually doesn't have a long term vision that's a problem. If you want a sustainable coin you need to thoroughly think about the plan and implement it without input from those who want a quick flip.
