I guarantee everyone if the devs reduce the block rewards to 25 coins every ten minutes we will hit 20,000 by the end of the day and it will stay there this time and keep climbing.

You're basically saying turn KDC into a clone of Catcoin (though with an even smaller block reward).

Today's exchange volume for CAT across its primary exchanges: 11,295 CAT (or roughly 5 BTC)

Today's exchange volume for KDC across its primary exchanges: 169,843 KDC (or roughly 10 BTC)

Just by those metrics alone, I'd say KlondikeCoin is arguably the more successful coin as it is. And once again, Catcoin has been "fixed" a couple of times already. All your proposed fix would do is make the current KDC holders "rich" and leave a lot of pissed off new KDC coin holders, and drive off miners completely.

So what is your solution then?

Don't say website/gamestore/blabla, that won't work.

If you hit Cryptsy everyone will dump at once and it's bye bye for sure.

I already sold my coins and am completely out KDC at break-even-ish, so I have no agenda anymore. Other then to be amazed by your answer as to how to solve this.

That's the only way it DOES work. There needs to be a reason for the coin to exist. If speculators aren't going to drive the coin themselves (which lets face it, the only ones asking for block changes ARE the speculators so that they can make a quick buck and move out), then something else has to. What spiked BTC? I'm not saying KDC needs a silk road, but it's what drove mainstream use. It took off from there.

Hate to say it, but just like every other coin out there, KlondikeCoin is just a coin. Without the community bringing reasons to use it, it's going to go no where just like every other coin in the long run. The dev can't fix that.

For what it's worth, I will be offering a service that will accept KDC payment as soon as I get an automated front end for it set up. I'm not ready to formally announce anything since I have a lot more work to do and not a lot of spare time to work on it, but I'm doing what I can.
