Hi yinyang fans, I've just signed up to the forum to put some input into this. i usually just lurk and not get involved, check specs, premines and such and pop back to check on what's occurring once i invest in anything. anyway, here is my pennies worth on the situation for you to consider.

The way i got involved was purely because i was checking out all coins on poloniex for potential long term investment, yinyang looks great, very low price for only 18 million coins, and i'm sure anyone else who investigates will see it the same way too. It's a sleeping giant and its time will come. there are that many alts out now many do get overlooked, but sooner or later they do come into play, and it looks like this will be the case for yin and yang. to be fair there are a lot of people like myself who prefer going for coins like this simply because it has been around for a while and working fine 100% without any major premine scandals or being labelled a scam. for me i'd rather invest in something that's been around and tried and tested then invest on a new unknown coin and at current prices yin and yang are a steal.

I know the dev has said he is not Chinese but i can't help thinking that the whole yinyang thing has been a bit of a downfall for the coin. there have been many people on this thread who have automatically assumed the creators are of Chinese origin, and i think after the Asia coin scandal people probably got a bit sceptical of any coin with any links to the far east.

This thread has been a little bit all over the place with all sorts of ideas which may have put people off a well, there seems to be a lot of uncertainty and lack of direction. but that's of no concern to me, i think all in all it's a great working coin, with a good coin limit of 18 million, and it's got a lot of potential. I'm not so sure about the idea of converting both into one new coin, partly because the dev says he wouldn't want to link yinyang to the new coin, which would be difficult to do really seeing as those holding yinyang would know, and also it would be too hard not to explain to people where the new coins had gone if it was to be swapped for yinyang. there's no way you could do it discreetly and not link the new coin to yinyang. plus combining the 2x18 million from yinyang puts the new coin around 36 million and probably won't get the value yinyang should do.

In my eyes i think you should leave yinyang as it is and it will take off in good time. by all means create a new coin but you may as well do it completely seperate from yinyang and have no links at all to it.

PROS...
1- it's a nice long term investment right now, very low price for the 18 mill coins per half and once people catch on to it or it gets up onto mintpal it should do just fine.
2- we have an active dev here who has always responded and been upfront and acknowledged input from all.
3- the coin has been active for quite some time now, in other words tried and tested. been working well with no trouble or major scandal, a coin people can trust.
4 - two for the price of one.... yinyang already has 2k votes on mintpal, and the top voted is 20k, still a bit to go until we hit the top but when we do, we get two coins listed for the price of one, instant win.

How i'd like to see it go...

1 - no POS, just personal opinion but i'm not keen on it, it's inflationary and will push up the 18 mill coin limit, and 18 mill is just a nice figure.
2 - I don't have much BTC but i usually buy a few thousand of both yin and yang daily from profits because i believe it can go somewhere. if everyone buys a little daily it will keep it afloat and give it a bit of volume and i'm sure we'll be rewarded for it when the time comes.
3 - I vote for yinyang on mintpal as often as i can and i'm sure we can get it there, even if it takes a little time that means supporters can be stocking up on it cheaply for now.
4 - a promotion... blackcoin sponsored dogecon, dogecoin took the jamaican bobsleigh team to the winter olympics, and also sponsored the dogecar nascar. okay it was a little gimmick and a bit of fun but it did get people talking and involved. if we could come up with something similar and quite brilliant that would make people want to get involved we could coincide it with yinyang hitting mintpal. which could potentially give it's value a secondary boost if people are feeling charitable and want to buy into yinyang to help sponsor something or other.

anyway, sorry for the long rant. i just wanted to throw my views out there and see what your opinions are on the matter. we may not have the massive community that dogecoin has but we do have a few people out there throwing ideas around and at the end of the day, the more ideas that come the better chance we have of finding a bit of direction and maybe making a game plan for yinyang.

+1 for making the effort to make a constructive post!

It is true that at one point people are going to get in and it will grow because of that, but i think we should not leave it all to time and we should be actively spreading the word.

1-Twitter
2-Poloniex troll-box
3-NXT chat box
4-C-Cex chat box

there is an IRC channel posted in the op we could also get there discuss the coin, organise an hour were we all meet and decide on some promotion moves.

Yin-yang can start rising again if we all do our part.

Please when ever you sit at your computer just login into mintpal and vote, twitt about it, take a min go to poloniex and mention yinyang coin. There is a lot of simple stuff that if we all decide to do will get more people to know about it.
