Can we think some feature that unique to MINT only? Frankly speaking, all those features u mention aren't only available exclusively on MINT. Many other coins have those too. It's quite common nowday. We should somehow become purple cow

I like your idea about thinking out of the box, mint cannot survive by saying "but we where one of the first to do this, the other coins are copies".
However, forking MINT right now (in this transition period) is not an option, that would be a dead penalty for MINT (imo).

I honestly think MINT is a good product in the current version.
The focus in the sort term should be to stabilize the coins.
This is done by showing a active community and make "investors" (by this I primary think of day-traders) believe that the coin could rise in value, the volume is way way too low, which has been one of the problem with MINT over the last 4 month (dumping 700m, slowly has certainly not helped either).

The coin is extremely volatile right, a wrong move and the coin could die.
(I do not think that MINT survive if it goes below 1 satoshi).

In medium to long term should marketing and exposure be the priority.

In the long run, yes, innovation is needed, to differentiate from competitors - I completely agree with you.

There will be changes in the coin market soon, when the all the powerful scrypt miners gets online, how they will affect MINT is hard to say, my guess is that small hashrate miners will consider staking (PoS) instead keeping up in the scrypt hash race, and hopefully they will chose MINT over the others. But only time will tell.

There is not much time, I believe that hashrate for all the valuable scrypt coins will explode withing 2-4 month.

*edit Like cryptomom just pointed out, discussions like this is actually helping the coins, since the community is active and not "dead" (who want to invest in a "dead" coin?)

*edit 2 I totally agree with the what cryptomom has done, with changing the headline of this thread over the last couple of days, also announcing the newsletter, this and bumping the thread, is exactly what is needed in the very short term.
