Been lurking this thread since it was a few pages long and I'd like to keep encouraging the positive vibes here,

sirsmokesalot and Chronikka- these SENSIBLE posts are what the PotCoin community NEEDS!

As far as the attack goes, I actually commend the devs for working on it so fast. They've been traveling and working their asses off. To the few that are jumping ship because of it, please leave quietly. My god, you'd think the devs were diffusing a bomb or something, hell, you're like the people that freak out in front of the guy who's JOB it is to do that- it's not helping!

Anyways, yeah, implementing DigiShield is the way to go! look at all the other coins that did it. PotCoin is going to be just fine. This coin represents more than a quick buck...the legalization movement is gaining traction every day and, with it, this coin has accomplished a lot more than most at it's age. And as far as actual services and products I just want to remind people of this page: http://highonpotcoin.info/potcoin-directory/ Wink

Points appreciated and noted ...

However, I think there is good reason to freak out a bit.

If you go back quite a few pages VLAD was very critical of the POT team. Many people, including myself, stood behind and supported the POT dev team and the merits of this coin. And I still believe there will be a Cannabis targeted coin that gains widespread adoption. Without adoption it is dead anyway.

Right now this coin is on the edge and needs some honest transparent conversation and feedback to and from the POT team on the exact status and at least a roadmap of where things are going. Honest, concise and complete. We dont need to hear, "we hope", or "we believe". We need to hear, this is exactly what has happened, "XYZPDQ and here is whats next". As an example -- the entire Denver trip. It was hyped huge. We have heard bits an pieces.

The outcome is less important than is the honest and clear communication and transparency of the outcome. There is a general sense that there is more (or less) to the story about Denver. We are big boys and girll tell us straight. Quit blowing smoke up my ass, and let the chips fall as they may. But stop teasing big things and then forget you ever said anything of the sort.

Finally - Many people (including myself) have also tried to make suggestions and offers to help with this coin ... this is not a halving problem or technical problem. (Technical issues are easy to solve and far easier to fix than people problems.)

This is a problem with communication, transparency and community building

Inconclusive responses or getting the brush off does not serve this purpose well. This coin needs champions, this coin needs an effort in community building across here at BTCTalk and Reddit as well as a website than layes out the vision, and how its hoped to be achieved along with who is doing the work (EMC2 for example lists who is on the board with pictures and bios -- if POT is being run like a business, then it needs to act like it)

Many of us are trying our best to support and champion this coin. Unfortunately it feels like we are swimming a bit upstream.

So, yes, there is reason to freak out a bit.
