The coin is being dumped everywhere. Putting up a buy wall wont stop it. As long as dark send is not yet live, it will unfortunately continue. Right now its an aspiration to be the first. We're not there yet.
The problem is there is not enough demand at the moment for the steady supply of fresh coins.
Unfortunately there is no marketing. No PR. No dev interviews. Nothing. Its all hinged on darksend right now. The sooner that is up and running the better.
That might be actually intentional

I have a similar feeling about Vertcoin btw, that the creators want to give themselves more time before they start the hype machine on full steam.
Without any hype right now, and with all the dumps because of the hack on ccex... it's hard for it to go up. Praying for darksend.
