Keep up the good work! I'll try to get in contact with merchants and increase acceptance of ICG.
Getting listed on gambling websites and other forms of e-commerce will also help.
Once the development is finished with ICG, it should really set it self out from other alt-coins by easy merchant adoption and several choices for user interfaces. I envision a form of platform to built upon it to help facilitate business transactions while providing useful services.
I agree, all of these factors will increase buy pressure and hopefully lead to further development of ICG beyond its role as a cryptocurrency and allow it to become a modular platform capable of various services including making use of the ATM integration API that was already developed.
