Sorry, cant resist chiming in:
In fairness to the devs, a lot of this is beyond their control. People are blaming whales but I think the single biggest factor are small fry baghlders who keep selling their coins, for pennies, into every attempt CINNI makes to stage a recovery past the 9000 level. I mean too many people are set to dump their small holdings anytime CINNI makes an effort to break out of this stagnation.
Devs could certainly be doing more, but can you blame one of them (community dev) for hedging their bets on a rising winner - wouldn't you? Who wants to commit all their time to what might be a dead/dying coin. I'd diversify - it's common sense.
I still think there's a chance CINNI might break out of this, but the other possibility to worry about is turning into a ZEIT with low transaction volume at risk of being delisted:
https://www.mintpal.com/market/ZEIT/BTCyeah he can buy w/e coin he wishes if he is not dedicated, but comon, use the cinni twitter to promote other coins? wtf is that about, just create another fukin twitter and start over your precious XC if want, instead of clearing fud from cinni, he says is a waiste of time, but he clears XC fud with CINNI account? now i see why as soon as start rising everyone dumps. how can you gain trust in here with actions like that?
Yeah, I see your point, and if you check my post history you'll see I'm the one who originally raised this issue (I did a count of his recent bitcointalk posts on CINNI and on XC's thread).
I do think there is an argument to be made - cinni community dev should at least be using popularity and exposure from XC to help CINNI.
