... begin to speak without having technical knowledge ... what each quick suggestion they have would imply to you in terms of time and effort
So I apologise for all the times I've spoken like that.
Thank you for appreciating that, creating detailed esponses to unconsidered "why don't we ...?" suggestions is getting more tedious to me as time goes on. Without at least a basic technical grounding it's all too easy to indulge in flights of fancy.
I think when we speak about your personal interest there are two kind of personal interest, and I'm not sure which one you are referring to: the financial and the ideal one.
Neither, it's far more prosaic than that. As I've mentioned previously, I'll be 70 next year and I literally don't have time to waste pursuing other people's fantasies.
I believe the PoD token will become the game changer in the cryptoworld. Maybe it won't shine in the context of SLM, because we may not be able to convince people that the PoD token can function in this context, but I hope it will influence people to do great things that will help the mankind:
Many people apparently hold similar personal beliefs and some have used them as justification for the launch of a crytpocurrency. One thing that has become evident is that belief isn't enough on its own. If your notion is to have even a chance of success then it needs to be grounded with solid market research, else you're basically dealing in the realm of fantasy.
I think that the time of the coins that are just clones, a mix of existing technologies and even of existing ideas is over.
Only the coins that have something really new will get the necessary attention. People are literally fed up with all this mixing and relaunching of the old stuff without sense.
Again, solid market research would give you the facts and figures on which base reliable inferences and conclusions. It will also inform your marketing tactics and strategy.
As regards the Slimcoin community, I'll leave you to reflect on what the occasional staker's experience might be if the listening nodes all switched over to using an 0.16 client which ignored connections from old clients.
Cheers
Graham
