Yes I'm new but wanted to input my own two cents on the matter, been following this thread since about page 30 (when this coin was first introduced to me). TBH I see more potential with the coin than has been reported. One of the concerns brought up was that there will be no one to mine. From what I'm seeing, there are more workers mining this altcoin (and at a faster hashrate; more workers, faster hashing) than some of the other new and popular coins out there as well. Also, if the block solving expectation is at 30sec intervals, won't the mining of the coin still return results faster than say a bitcoin or litecoin? Per-day hashing with this coin will still have a better return and add new coins to the market more frequently than some of the other coins out there because of the 30sec block rule without saturating the market with too many coins.

The other thing this coin needs is markets to use the currency on. So many people worried about pumping-and-dumping this coins for quick easy cash, that method will only keep the coin low for a long time. This particular coin is so new in its infancy (it's only been mine-able for 6 days...) but will only gain the potential we want if we put some effort into it.

I remember when bitcoin first came out, like many I shrugged it off as a fad. The main thing that got bitcoin off the ground was that businesses and services took a chance on bitcoin, accepting payment with an otherwise useless currency at the time and now look where it's at. If we can get the word out about topcoin, getting some people exchanging it for goods and services like bitcoin started, it will eventually take off. I've seen the internet come together for a cause many times when something warranted it, we can do that here too.

I think the fact that so many people are still mining this coin well into it's infancy gives it a fair shot. We as a group and out there on other crypto forums just need to push on and give this coin a chance to walk. I do not think topcoin is or has the potential to be the next bitcoin, but who knows? Only time and our efforts will tell.
