Any reason why we're still sticking on to scrypt? It's kinda "expensive". And just scanning other pages, I'm seeing a shit load of support from miners looking for x11 coins. And because its cheaper for the rig owners as well, the rental prices too reflect it. I'm sure once we have miners back in the coin, the buzz will be generated and volume will pick organically when larger exchanges follow suit. A network hash rate of 140 MH is a crying shame for a coin with such an active dev team. There quite a lack of x11 coins and I think we could fill that void if we adopt early. Too many shitcoins on scrypt is drowning this gem.
Because a good coin doesn't switch to whatever is popular at the moment, just to switch to the next-new thing 2 months later? A good coin has reasons to use it no matter it's algorithm. I don't think you guys understand the dangers of switching algorithms just like that. You scare people away with it because it is inconvenient having to update wallets, wait for services to update, get unwanted and incorrect forks making you work for nothing...
Besides that you don't even know the dangers of the new algorithm. You could've seen a perfect example with KGW, everybody saw it as almost a requirement for a coin to include KGW. And a few weeks later in comes the big bug. You don't know how this new algorithm works and what it's flaws are, all you hear is people creating a shameless hype and following the herd.
