I feel bad the dev on this coin tbh. I've been following on the sidelines since the beginning, and seems he has invested a lot personally in this project. Sadly i don't see this coin as providing something unique, other than a cool name. There's Darkcoin for every one who values anonymity, there's already a decentralised marketplace concept in place(https://github.com/goshakkk/decentralized-anonymous-marketplace-concept), there's Dark Wallet incoming for bitcoin.

Going directly for the consumers is bold, but i fear it wont work other than in the very long term. By then i would suspect the dev will have run out of money long before that happens. To me, it seems that the value in an altcoin comes from the already existing cryptocurrency-community, not from newcomers. So the ones that appeal to miners and speculators win. Blackcoins multipool stunt and Darkcoins masternodes are two examples. Bitcoins are already the established currency of the dark web marketplaces, so why should they choose DopeCoin?

To be short, Dopecoin didn't provide anything unique from the beginning. And the stuff you can implement to make it better, is already in place on other coins.

Right now, i think the only return you will get on this coin, is the inevitable pump and dump that will happen because of very low volume

yup, seems like pos is the desired algo anymore.
everyone is aware of the asic/scrypt issues.
perhaps we can go pow/pos.
would bring ALOT of needed attn back to this coin.
also,
might want to remove "pmtocoins" exchange from OP page ... there gone no?

I've addressed this SEVERAL TIMES!!!!! He indeed put a lot of personally time in this project, but he needs to understand his mistakes... it is like the stock market, don't put your money in a coin that is always dropping, put it in those that goes up, as those that are always dropping will go for Chapter 11.

I told him what he has to do.

1. Launch a Poker Tournament, something like win 1,000,000 entry fee 50,000 DOPES, so when only 20 people join he already make profit, and people will love to play it.

2. Start a multipool, network hashrate for Dope is not too bad, so a lot of people can be interested.

3. Reduce the block reward, this coin is being deflated too much... Supply is too high, and he is not able to increase demand, so reduce supply.

4. Maybe indeed go directly to POS!!!! and with a little hype around his Poker Tournaments, we can see 1000sats

5. I hope that he start understanding the altcoin market!!! I believe he is a great business men, but don't have a clue how altcoin market works.
