EPIC is very thinly traded. That is both a good thing and a bad thing.
Good, in that the vast majority of EPIC is locked up in people's wallets for a long term HODL.
Bad, in that a small amount of EPIC can move the market much more significantly than were trading more active.
Hang with it. Mobile wallet on the horizon. That will mean no need for open ports for MimbleWimble IP protocol transfers.
