Changing anything on Vertcoin - other than scrypt-n diff to eject asics - will result in a loss of trust in the coin.
And yes, i am a miner.
And yes, i am selling some of my coins to pay my bills.
Why? Simple!
I have no big financial background to live from and have to feed my family and pay my bills.
If there is anything changed on the coin with any other target than to get ridd of asics, i'll quit mining VTC.
If the "investors" can't handle it, well, get out of VTC and buy and sell other coins.
But i am pretty sure, most of us miners will just quit VTC and change to another coin if the devs would play with blockreward or anything just to push the price a bit.
And guess what a coin without miners is...
Just to let you know, I do have some VTC but I already accept the loss and not hoping to get my money back so it's not about personal gain. I'm making it up by mining other P&D coins. I still however hope that VTC succeeds because of its noble intention to digital currency.
There are not enough VTC supporters. VTC needs to reach out to new buyers. Like I said earlier, the perception is not looking good. Having a series of in-depth discussion then not take action means "there is a crisis and we don't know where to begin". It is not instilling confidence to potential buyers or merchants.
