One thought on the reddit thing, perhaps PotCoin puts more energy toward them because they are seen as the more public outlet of the community. IE, the most likely largest influence on the internet.

Not saying it's wise, just saying, maybe that's why..

The reddit page probably is the better place to interact with the community. Here we are limited to the rules of bitcointalk, which are not always friendly to alt coins. Information here gets lost in the waves of posts about other alt coins. I generally tell people to check out the reddit page before I tell them to come here. Especially if they don't know a lot about bitcoin to begin with.

Most coins have their own set of forums. An "insert coin name here" talk.com like litecointalk or darkcointalk, but we don't. So the reddit page is the next best thing.

Which is why it is ludicrous to ask them what should be done with the coin in regards to mining specifics.  Why ask people what should happen to coin mining when they don't even understand coin mining?

Am I the only one that sees that?

The dev team chose not to ask anybody at first...they came right out and said they were going to halve the coin. Parts of the community were outraged and they decided to have a poll.

In my opinion the halving strategy should have been thought out from the launch. The first thing I noticed about this coin after it launched...no halving or any mechanism to reduce block rewards over time. It seemed odd. When it came time to actually implementing something we all had different opinions on how to do it.
