What are you talking about, what is the "minority"? You can easily buy XCN on a number of different exchanges for what I believe is a very undervalued price. These miners with cheap energy are keeping the price low, so it's extremely easy to get.

bitfreak, but they are right about marketing. Not a lot people are aware of cryptonite right now, and the name of this coin makes people confused too.
Like I have said numerous times already, I simply don't have the funds necessary for a good marketing campaign, I've already spent a huge amount of money on development. Donate to the address at the bottom of the opening post if you want to help us change that. Or simply help spread the word yourself. This is a community open source project, don't expect us to do everything. We aren't a corporation trying to market a product, our focus is on innovation and development, not convincing you to buy our product. Even if I had thousands of dollars to spend on marketing I doubt it would make much difference, the altcoin scene is just so saturated right now, it's hard to tell the clone coins from the good stuff, 90% of the claims made by altcoins is exaggerated nonsense.

Having said that however, there may be some good exposure in the near future. I have recently been discussing a potential interview on the Beyond Bitcoin podcast (part of the Let's Talk Bitcoin Network). I believe that is quite a popular podcast and if I manage to get an interview it should help shine a bit more light on Cryptonite. But like I said there's only so much I can do, my personal funds are limited and my focus is not primarily on marketing. Keep in mind that community efforts can be very powerful, look how effectively all the DogeCoin fan boys spread the word of that stupid coin and some how made it popular. The world just isn't rational, society often likes stupid things but ignores things that are worth paying attention to.
