Stuff ..

Sorry you don't like the whole mass adoption theme. That was something we stated as a theme (and we aren't going to quit our goals there) from the get-go. And that's also why our first features were VeriSMS and VeriBit. Because they make things easier for others.

...

We don't want VeriCoin to be an "altcoin" but rather VeriCoin-- a coin people don't relate to altcoins because it's bigger than that.

Ambitious plan - there are two issues with that

1) You and your supporters have no idea how the worldwide mass adoption will be achieved as well as why would anyone pay with vericoin instead of the well established BTC? You directly compete with BTC when you push your worldwide mass adoption theme and that makes the worldwide mass adoption theme an unsustainable business plan. Therefore, the market doesn't like your worldwide mass adoption theme. Every rational person knows you are unable to compete with BTC on the worldwide mass adoption front. Despite the billion dollars VC investment for BTC infrastructure/utility projects even BTC struggle to educate and convince the mass public to use crypto currencies. What makes you think that you can make a revolution and convince the mass public to use a) crypto currencies b) use vericoin instead of BTC? You can't, it is a delusion and fantasy.

2) Your worldwide mass adoption theme is outdated. Yes, it made sense to go with this theme in March/April when you started your coin, it seemed at the time that Litecoin and many other BTC clones can co-exist with BTC, but the events of this summer made clear that all BTC clone altcoins will disappear, except those few blockchain 2 enabled coins. The market spoke this summer about all BTC/LTC clones like VeriCoin. Investors and the community (except your maximum 20 men strong hurrah brigade) are not interested in your worldwide mass adoption theme. Investors don't want to touch your coin, because it's clear you can't achieve mass adoption for vericoin. Instead of investors are interested in blockchain 2 platforms which address the shortcoming of BTC, provide users with more features and do more than BTC does.

If you stick to your worldwide mass adoption theme, you will have the tackle the same issue again and again: VeriCoin is nothing else but one of the 300 BTC clones, there is no unique selling point for vericoin. Just like yourself, we investors thought your CV and academic background will be the unique selling point for VeriCoin, but clearly it's not enough, the well played transparency card doesn't make vericoin an attractive investment opportunity. Having said that, Barrabas could be right again by saying that your only chance is to play the "Good guys" card, it is an option to build on how you handled the mintpal hack.

In my opinion, better to start working because you didn't deliver a thing in the last 8 weeks. To turn around this ship you could try start working on a blockhcain 2 platform by addressing one specific area that you are comfortable with such as decentralized exchange, marketplace or crowd funding and do better that one area than ethereum, viacoin, cloak, etc. Then vericoin would have an actual use case and it would be more than one of the 300 BTC/LTC clones. I have to admit you have little chance to succeed with that blockchain 2 theme, but it is still significantly more than the zero chance of the delusional worldwide mass adoption theme.

And here are another 500 words of rubbish to add to the 15,000 you wrote yesterday. I guess you've got another exciting day of hitting refresh on the VRC thread. Enjoy.
