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.
Quoted
for emphasis! bolded for double emphasis
The
cryptonote algo raises suspicions among a lot of people. To give another coin almost the same name and ticker symbol seems like a mistake. Like naming a new sleep aid "Thalidomed". Probably not too many will buy based on the name until the distinction is clear and people know they are not both the same thing.
But the mini blockchain and willingness to take bigger innovative steps will overcome the handicap of a bad name. There only needs to be one positive article on a respected site that emphasizes the benefits of a small blockchain. Then blastoff.
Another point about marketing. If you are selling a car that looks like shit and gets two miles per gallon you must focus on marketing. But if you come out with a car that looks okay and gets fifty miles per gallon you need to focus on patience. Marketing will take care of itself. If someone sees an opportunity to emphasize that a coin exists now with a reasonably sized blockchain then mention it. No sensible person would ignore the first coin with a blockchain that can be downloaded in minutes instead of days.
