Yes I think it would be important to establish the legitimacy of the blockchain by getting real users on board. The technology is all good, the increase of the coin supply lead to a significant price decrease, this was expected. But what gives a blockchain its value is not the technology or the dedication of the team behind it, but the size of the group of people that believes in the consensus encoded by the blockchain. Only by giving real users a real advantage from using this coin and establishing legitimacy we can increase the value of the blockchain, which ensures ongoing development.

One thing that Spectrecoin has going for it is that it has kept up with the evolution of OpenSSL (https://www.openssl.org/) . I've noticed that some alts -- which haven't done their homework and are floating along with old BTC-code -- are underpinned by obsolete OpenSSL versions and one has to actively dumb-down their system to get the alt to compile in more modern variants of Linuxes and BSDs (Unix-based systems).

The fact that Spectrecoin has devs that seem to be on-task (or at least hanging in the wings to be brought in if necessary) contributes to long-term viability.

Marketing is needed so that as many people as possible learn about this cryptocurrency and its advantages, otherwise oblivion awaits.
