Most people who aren't watching this closely seem to be under the impression that the 51% attack was successful, which is creating a lot of FUD around.

The consensus now is that the coin is fine, and people need to be made aware of that (the bitcoinexpress guy even backed off his claims in the other thread).  If the coin can gain just a little bit of its value back, the hashrate will go up and it's security will be ensured.  People need to be made aware that the coin is in fact, not dead right now.  There are also a few people on cryptsy that have been picking up a ton of cheap coins/making sure the value doesn't fall any lower.  It may be the perfect time to invest now - "Be Fearful When Others Are Greedy and Greedy When Others Are Fearful" - but people need to be aware that the coin is up and running without issue at the moment or it may never regain confidence.
