Why don't we do the same as CAI, rename it to EACx and make it all POS. This will pump the price a lot. People will buy and put it in their wallet.
This was discussed thoroughly a month or two ago, and the conclusion is that the dev team wants pow mining and huge continuous coin supply. What would help at this point would probably be to get as many people as possible to start using EAC to buy stuff for example from earthazaar and get the adoption started.
