Hey guys,

Ok, I'm back, I hope at least one of you missed me

Let's take a little bit of a state of the union here:


Heavycoin
Am I crazy, or is this one of the best coins on the market right now? Why are we so low on the exchanges?

- We've lost the positive sentiment of the crypto community - we brought this on ourselves

- There was a scare about the dev's missing, and we're hurting from that still - the truth is that Keccak is posting as much now as he did when the devs were thought missing - I talked to Keccak three days ago, he's still here, the IPO wasn't a scam, version 1.3 of the wallet is imminent.

- He won't ever be the face of the coin, I can be, for now, if you guys want me to . What he and Nogi are is one of the best coin dev teams working right now. We need to leverage that rather then ever expect them to be the marketers for this coin.

- I'll take responsibility for this coin until we reach a point where it's "we" and not just me - this is our second most important goal.


The thread
Guys, if I read this thread I would only see that the entire thing is a horror show - just a basket of "the coin is doomed" and negativity.

I have a guy on Facebook who asked a question about solo mining for Heavycoin, I knew the best answer was to send him here to ask questions to you guys directly, but I'm hesitating - my thought was "ah shit, they'll rip this kid apart" - That's probably a really bad sign.

I'm not suggesting that we go all Dogecoin, but could we please think about how you approach a problem - can we talk to each other like we actually like each other and have an interest in common?

It isn't even this thread - I think BitcoinTalk suffers this problem in general.

Bag holders
Anyone who is interested in this coin would probably be considered a bag holder by definition.

I don't think so - we have our bags and we see promise in this coin - we need to address the crypto community and let them know we are still here.

as fengkaitj noted - we know scrypt ASIC's are here and possibly x11 ASIC's might not be too far off - what we are suffering from is negative sentiment only, HVC won't feel the ASICs.

We have great algorithms, great devs, great forum members, and a truly great thread poster (that's me - FYI) what's not to love?

Twitter
I'm operating the @Heavycoinnews twitter account - please follow this account. We are up 60 new followers in the last week and a bit, which is such a good sign for us.

What would really help me on twitter are three things:

- Please follow @HeavycoinNews on twitter
- Please say something nice about Heavycoin so I can re-tweet you - I can't keep posting my own positive thoughts
- Search heavycoin on twitter, when you see someone saying Heavycoin is dead, just let them know that you are still in to it - I'll retweet you and this will help us build positive sentiment.

Heavycoin Website
p1nky - thanks for such a considered response - I'll continue our conversation via PM, but I will agree that nothing you say is factually inaccurate - I simply don't have access to website files, I have asked again tonight, if I don't hear anything I'll screen scrape the current site and put it under a new domain.

I'll figure out with Keccak the best way to handle the website, or otherwise start my own we can control. I don't think there's any resistance from the devs, just a process which isn't working well, we'll figure it out.


Cheers,
M
