It is such a pain in the ass watching this fiasco

As long as the inner market is not interested in vtc the outer world will not be recognizing the great technology behind this project.
I guess the only true thing you can do now is to change the algo and make a dynamic reward.
Today I checked the reward generated by dark coin and it seems that it might be the best solution to go with a variable reward.
DARKCOIN is really impressing, because it did something special. It has been pumped for weeks and months and it sustains it's value really well
