Well - I wonder if it's not risky to promote a tools that basically dump BC for Fiat. I guess it's a start - but we realy need to find ways to have merchands accepting BC directly (same for BTC or any other currency).
That being said - I would like to say that you BC guys are doing great. I still own some - and if I had to bet on a ''top 10 crypto with the best chances to survive and thrive'', I would put some money on BC. Keep going.
So, how could that be worse than what currently happens on the altcoin exchanges?
Also, if you ever want to succeed (and break out of the PnD stupidity of Mintpal etc.), i agree that the only way is EASY real world adoption. You need to have simple ways for "normal people" to accept as well as cash out BC (of course the price would rise if close to no one ever sold BC, but that would not be a currency but a collectors item

)
Accepting BC directly via webshops is actually made easy by coinpayments, cointopay as well as CoinKite, CoinKite can also offer the point of sale solution.
Using BC: CoinKite is making small but constant steps towards non-merchants using BC, and a customer debit card that converts coins will be another big step. There are also rumors about another massive step in that direction to be revealed soon.
If u look at say the bitcoin chart... or the blackcoin chart... etc the price goes up when the number of transactions go up.
So simply put the more its used the more its worth.
