Dopecoin seems to have better marketing

Per the DopeCoin Dev:

Quote
DopeCoin is designed to facilitate a very broad demographic and enter into various billion dollar marketplaces VS simply one.

So while Dopey(the dev) might be pushing into marketing harder, his target demographic is questionable at best.  Also, if Dopecoin wasn't targetted just at Marijuana, then why use the leaf in the coin image.  I doesn't sound like he has a cohesive idea about where he wants the coin to go.

On the flipside, Potcoin is being targeted at the growing medical and recreational marijuana industry.  What sounds better going in to a dispensary, "I've got a coin that is used for black market drug sales" or "I've got a coin made for the marijuana industry"?  Dispensaries, grow shops, and businesses backing marijuana consider it a legitimate, legal, expanding industry, and no longer the back alley black market sales of the past.

Now I do have to say that I would like to see the Potcoin dev more active here in the forums.  Twitter is great, but when your target users are here more than anything, you need to be here as well to at least chat about where you think you would like to go.  Spitball ideas, offer bounties to keep people interested, etc.  People say he's active, but Potcoin(the dev) hasn't posted in this thread since page 5.  He needs to be here pushing this more.

my $0.02.
