Every. Single. Prediction. Came true.

Everything I told the Owner would happen, has happened. And right on schedule, you guys are already discussing coin volume and value and a hardfork. It almost hurts to see how on-point I was with this. Seriously folks, dropping block reward? And transaction times, what on earth? Yes, make the coin even more susceptible to an attack, by all means. The network rate is so low on this coin right now it's security risk is in the red, a blockchain takeover would just ruin it further.

How many of the folks here discussing this issue and 'supporting it', are actually well versed in longterm coin analysis, lifecycle and development? By the discussion the last few pages, I'd say maybe 2 folks. You have a very active developer (not the owner, the code guy) who's willing to help out any way he can. Don't have him make changes which will just flush the coin down the tubes.

While I agree the block reward doesn't need to be as high as it is (as a transactional-flow coin operates well in the 'hundreds' block range), the fact remains that the block size isn't an issue with the value of the coin. You're minting them at the same rate regardless, so when you roll GPUC->BTC->USD it'll be the same. The problem is the flow of sales is declining because the purchase wave of GPU's is also declining (worldwide). Prices are beginning to stabilize again in the private market, and availability isn't nearly as bad now as it was 30 days ago, or 90 days ago. This isn't a shocker either, it's well known that the GPU demand is going down.

In other words, the problem is the target audience is losing interest. Raising the value of the coin (especially artificially) will just ruin the market more, because the mine-n-traders will just come along and mint your coins super fast and get paid and happily walk away.

Your last major hope is this sale drumming up business, and if it doesn't increase the volume of GPUC traded, you're likely not going to see a recovery. Just an estimate..

Edit: TLDR: The coin is working just fine, but nobody is interested
