"Now this post makes much more sense to me. Lots of "I've". I can appreciate you trying to make money, we all are. Lurking is not participating in the community. Helping others is part of the community."
I'd say mining and buying the coin, and voting for exchanges are being part of the community. I'd also say that trying to make my voice heard about how to fix the current situation is being part of the community.
We can all chat in a forum and sing Kumbaya, but the price will still keep dropping without a large, reputable exchange and a leader who understands what he's talking about.
Mining and buying the coin does support the coin, voting for exchanges (I'll take you at your word) also supports the coin. Making your first post sound like you are trolling? Not so much. All it really does is tell us that you feel you are not making enough money at this coin in the timeframe you have set. I am not a large miner, I have bought what I could, I have voted, I have helped others where possible. The coin will go where it will. All Cryptos are down. I personally do not expect any changes in any of them for at least 2 weeks after GOX straightens their stuff out or admits that there is nothing left. After that, we will start to see slow change. Litecoin is down by over half, by all accounts we should be over double where we are. Exchange issues don't help either, but things will get better.
Cheers, have a beer, enjoy the show.
