I think we could do well even without it being a true CPU coin (though I'd prefer that). I think a coin re-launch without an IPO, removing voting, and setting a longer mining period could do the trick.

That being said, we need something huge to happen for this coin to matter. Altcoins survive only if they serve one of two purposes:

1. Full ecosystem, real potential to challenge other top 10 coins.

2. Testing grounds for new ideas, algos, technologies.

I don't think HVC in it's current state can really claim either of the above.
