SeriousCoins14, what's the next step?

Well we're pluralizing that into a ton of steps, I believe to secure consistent future growth we need to expand from every angle. My primary goals moving forward: Exposure and Value; Exposure through PR campaigns and Value through physical product

1. Currently we are working toward expanding into new exchange markets. I have sent a unique E-mail to each exchange I am aware of and have been trying to create a system where people who buy votes will be rewarded by community tipping etc. Looks like we will break into the top 15 on Mintpal today. Of course, I don't feel that an exchange alone is worthy of added value without continuously working to advance the coin, so we move to 2.

2. Wallenstein is working on our webstore (I have no official ETA at this moment), here we will sell our own internal (official) products and we will be accepting third party merchants. I am also reaching out (if anybody can assist I would appreciate further help - even direction if a similar system is already available) for a method to standardize the process for 3rd party merchants to sell through their own website. I.E. a simplified source they can build off of to make accepting coin payments in real time easy for people who aren't too familiar with crypto along with a price checking API to auto update pricing; this may be a bit of a longer term project.

3. Selsonblue is fishing through distributors to have our first batch of shirts made (first official merchandize) which we will be able to take orders on prior to the physical opening of our webstore. We would also like to use the income generated from this to expand our product line (and potentially seal a deal with more affordable bulk distributors).

4. Myself and Coinerz have been reaching out to merchants who may be interested in either accepting XBC or selling product directly through our webstore. Coinerz has an interesting lead and I've gotten quite a few good proposals, one being we can obtain great discounts on computer hardware from a specific vendor for bulk buys (we would need to think about a group buy to gain momentum) which I have not committed to at this point.

5. We are all contributing toward promotional campaigning to try to expand our user base both from within the crypto community as well as finding new users. We just hosted a social network give away and will be arranging for another one. We are creating a sort of "honor" system on our forums for all of our members to be rewarded for productivity, both in title and with tips in coin. We are consolidating a list of external advertisement space to increase traffic to xbcplus.com and will be directing them to a "new user" guide for people totally unaware of crypto coins.

6. Charitable Contributions, we are looking to raise money and give to people who are actually in need. We have already established our first charity drive which I believes needs a bit more attention: https://www.xbcplus.com/charity/amanda-kelly.htm and would like to have charities running at all times to help people out.

Aside from that, we are looking to expand our team. We have tons of talent here but our group can only get so much done in short term timeframes. Anybody who is capable is more then welcome to assist us. I would still like to see more external blogging, more graphic arts, more social network support, and on team writers to keep our news/blog section up to date (we don't want our own website to run stale either). I'm also going to bring back our community donations now that we are on the new network so we can refocus on obtaining a mobile wallet, cold storage cards, whatever other projects people would like done that would require outsourcing.

Seriouscoin,

I kindly want to ask what is really unique about this coin? I read all those things, you have written above, but they all seemed to me that you can find those in any kind of coins these days. Also it made me just a crowd of words but no actions. Can you please kindly state what is the next solid plan ? Will you create some unique tech developments like XC or DRK or BC had in their time? I am asking this, coz I have some XBC and thinking to invest some serious amount any soon, so I though maybe it is my right to know in my end..... Thank you and Warmest Regards,
