I agree with you and really I think it can still be turned around, I believe the coin needs to be relaunched in a sense, although you need to understand that the only reason Animecoin is not majorly valuable is because it is not being used, if it were used to buy anime or something like that then yes it will become more valuable and easier for other people/companies to accept it as a valid currency. The question is how do we do that?
Is it even worth mining this coin anymore? The block reward must be pretty low at this point and the lack of community support and trading volume leads me to believe this coin is pretty dead. Am I wrong?
I love the idea behind this coin but perhaps a relaunch would be a good idea. Maybe actually doing some more anime/money related things next time would also be good. Anime producers really struggle to make anime since it's so expensive, especially the newer studios, so we could donate some ANI and sponsor anime or something like that. Even buying Anime online with ANI to support the producers rather than torrenting would have been great. Seriously this coin could have been so much more. Not that it's too late for a turn around, but it seems unlikely.
