totally agree that it takes some time to develop a coin, however for any alt coin having a solid community is of utmost importance. in order to obtain that dev's have to stay in contact with community at least every other day. updates like...give an idea of the projects being worked on, the challenges of those problems, etc. in the "old" fiat world of business these things would be kept private and in house but in the "new" alt coin world these things are discussed out loud. sure there are some limitations, but not that many. now staying in contact with community every other day mite seem like a burden, and takes time away from the development of the coin, but as we see its needed.
