I don't mind ISAWHIM postings either; he might be poking a sleeping bear, but arguably this bear needs poking.

I think I understand why the developers are silent - they haven't demonstrated much skill in the communication department. The original whitepaper was full of suggestions and hints of new ideas and approaches to building/maintaining coin value that were enticing - at least to me, as a newbie - but had some awkward phrasing and ideas that didn't quite seem to gel, along with an alarming tendency to toss out formulas and call that communication. Or education. If the developers are, in fact, students of the 'Chicago School' it would seem they skipped a lot of their English/Comm classes. Like most economists do.

Subsequent communications got progressively worse - my eyes nearly bugged out of my head when I saw those two photos - and this isn't exactly a patient audience. If the developers are, in fact, assembling a new plan I imagine (hope?) they're thinking very hard about what they're going to say next and how they're going to say it.

Here's my communication to them: you had a theory about how to control an alt-currency market. It didn't work, which often happens when expectations meet reality. The reason there's something called the 'Chicago School' is that there's different schools of thought on economics, free markets, etc. Everybody knows this stuff isn't black and white. And even if you have a great idea, well, sometimes the oncoming truck swerves into your lane. Now, in the face of adversity, is when you show us what you're really made of. And if you're not up to it, that's okay too: DESTROY THE PREMINE and hand over the controls.

Here's a formula: developer + community = price. In the absence of a developer, the formula is even simpler.

Context: I hold ~2400 aircoins, mostly mined. I'm still mining. And I've got a crazy idea: let's not sell it cheap.
