This coin definitely has potential, and I too suspect it will spawn the next wave of coins. Once asic's take over scrypt mining, where are all of the gpu miners going to go? X11? perhaps for some time, until that gets taken over by asic. I get that nothing is asic-proof, but, in my limited understanding, asic's beat out gpu's at aleast in part by hashing more for less energy. If heavycoin can maintian a low energy profile it might be less appealing to try and implement asic's for HVC.

I think as a community we need a strong effort to raise awareness and vote down the block rewards, substantially. We should try to extend the mint phase for at least 1 year. I believe this would require a block reward of around 100-150 HVC. This would give the community more time to get the word out about heavycoin and allow HVC to show off its GPU friendly features through those warm summer months. Also, allowing more time for the coin to gain acceptance in marketplaces. And ideally, pick up more value.

The voting is a double-edged sword. As easily as we could extend the minting of this coin it could, just as easily, be shortened. At it's current rate of mint it is possible that this coin could be nothing more than a fart in the wind. 52 days until the end of mint phase (at current vote), is too short a time. So it matters not, if you are a whale or a shrimp, if you mine with GPU's it is in your best interest to see HVC succeed, lower power bills and cooler cards benefit all GPU's everywhere.

Of course this is just my 2 satoshi.
