i have to say i share some of those concerns.
no offense but this is not getting on mintpal like this
Again, nothing wrong with trying to hype up votes, but saying we are number #250+ (or whatever it is at) is really meaningless. It'd take 10 years to get voted up at this rate.
What could be done, and probably wouldn't even be that difficult:
Rebrand. As I stated previously, tying the coin to LTC or XBC is pointless. And when I say tied, you aren't even tied to them in any tangible way. Right now, DCM is tied to XBC in a much more real manner. XLC has as much in common with LTC/XBC as those LitecoinX coins, or Lightcoin does. Any rise for either of them won't positively affect XLC, or if it does, it simply means people are completely insane and are seeing some invisible link.
The coin has a nice wallet, just think of some goal/unique purpose/benefit or something to brand the coin around. Rename it entirely. There are very few coins and a very low price... it shouldn't be that difficult getting some value into the coin.
Use IPO funds for marketing/mobile wallets/better website and all of that stuff. But after the rebrand.
Same goes for other exchanges. I expect Polo is off the table due the the dev's, umm... 'actions' in regard to the XBC ipo stuff, but go for smaller exchanges at least. If Bittrex drops the coin, at least it will have a temporary home then. If the coin gains any traction at all, spend some of the ipo money on MP voting at that time.
I have given people this option but it was expressed in the thread and via pm's to keep XLC.
So now we need to work with what we have. Myself and BarTeam are looking into a mobile wallet that would hold XBC and XLC. But no promises.
