I only have 8 particles at the moment but trying to hatch some daily now form a new faucet that I found for PARTICLES. What are the best properties of this coin and what are the safeguards to keep it popular and growing?

I personally think some of the best things about this coin is the advancement of the wallet from the visual aspects(what other coin has a completely different wallet?) but most importantly, the app store within the wallet.

The app store is going to be a great functionality for the end user and will create amazing growth to the coin IF we can promote the coin right to bring in developers. Our first promotion to the coin should be geared towards developers rather than mass public. We can't launch the wallet and be "successful" if we dont have apps within our app store.

The app store along wont draw users into the coin UNLESS there is a reason too be drawn to it...the reason being that there wont be an abundant amount of apps on the store so no point to join the coin if no apps to download/purchase.

As Kevin Costner said in his movie: If you build it, they will come applies to this coin. If we build the app store, if we populate the app store, the masses will come to the store, its a given. Amazon launched their store way late in the game, but yet they are VERY successful(granted their marketing team is amazing and they have the financial backing).

An idea for apps to release would be going through some of the most popular apps that have cropped up recently such as "flappy birds" and release it within PRT's store....for free. I personally believe(hard for me to be subjective) that at the start we need to release these apps for free to grow the user base, and then we start to charge for apps.

Maybe release the app in stages (example for flappy birds) -
stage 1 being free with only a few levels or few features
stage 2 being charged for more additional features
stage 3 allowing users to rate and vote for specific levels to be implemented in near future(only able to be apart of stage 3 if you've purchased stage 2, or upgraded from stage 1)

For me personally...a cryptocoin that i can mine to fund my purchases in app stores along with other uses outside of the app store is a great move for technology. Think about all the apps within the store that generate income via ad's. Companies can advertise within apps and have a PPC or PPV feature and be able to pay micro transactions. This alone is what people are talking about why bitcoins are so great and a reason companies are looking into it. They can decrease their advertising budget but yet still be paying half a cent per view/click and not be charged up the ass for transaction fees.
