There are others with a similiar supply to ours but a much better market value. It is not the supply that is the problem but the demand for it which we can change. People do not believe that we are committed to longevity.

On my list of projects for Hirocoin.

Create an API. This can be used to get the price of Hiro, generate QR codes and get various stats. This can then be used by merchants and other services.

Point of Sale page. This will pull from the API. Vendors can enter in their address and fiat type. Then they can enter in the amount in their currency, press a button and get a QR code which will can be used to pay at the counter.

Android and iPhone wallets. This works well with the PoS page above. With these apps people can scan QR codes and pay at the counter.

I believe all of the above are important for merchant adoption and increase the demand for Hirocoin.

With all due respect, I believe you are missing the big picture. You need to create liquidity first and only then will merchants start to notice your coin and will want to accept it. Hiro at the moment is around $50k market cap meaning it will be a complete waste of time for any merchant to integrate it, since the potential revenue impact is so incredibly small. If you think you have a few years to develop on your own pace then you are wrong. You need to grab the bull by the horns and be a leader in this space and not a spectator. From recent developments it's obvious that people are more willing to put their hard-earned money in coins with fast initial distribution. It's also obvious that people care about anonymity to such an extend that they are even willing to bet on the lowest of scam coins for the slight chance of some innovation in regards to anonymity.

Why don't you reduce the coin supply and go into the only direction that Bitcoin does not want to go, which is anonymity? Even if the anon trend ends sooner rather than later, then you would still have one extra feature that is valued by potential buyers.

At the moment Hiro is just another coin without a purpose and this is reflected in the price. You need to get people interested, you need to ride the wave of interest and stay on top of it by offering people what they want and NOT what YOU THINK they want. Get this coin to 2-3mil market cap and you can be sure that merchants will start noticing it and that adoption will switch to a new gear.

You don't have the time that you think you have, it's a wolf-eat-wolf world and if you just sit back and wait for something to happen, then other coins will be so much ahead that you won't be even able to see them anymore. You need to make things happen and you need to make them happen fast or you are just wasting your talents.
