It's not so much the strengths of the devs or the community, but the principles on which they stand and adhere to.
No amount of promotion will help without a solid foundation. You cannot polish a turd.
I am not a dev. Please explain precisely what makes it a "turd"
All cryptos are copy/paste of previous coins - all are subject to the problems I have highlighted. All of them are potentially turds. Just an anology, I'm not saying Libertycoin is specifically a turd amongst good cryptos, that's a misinterpretation.
In order to move forward, a new philosophy needs to be created.
Reference : Thatcherism, 1980's.
The old order needed to be uprooted, examined and re-assessed. A new foundation was required for the future.
Does Libertycoin want to follow the old ways or create something new?
Anonimity is not a new way forward, it is merely another coat of paint on the crumbling wall of cryptos.
In it's current state, Libertycoin is not Liberty - it is Aristocracy, hiding behind a name, no different to any other coin, ruled by an elite.
Liberty is based on giving, not taking.
It goes against the founding principles of Satoshi.
