My take on Current the current EXE status
Photo 1 Showing The network hash rate pre & post price increase

In summary, some one bought quite a bit of the sell book, obviously price shot up, miners caught interest, they mined, net hash went up, along with difficulty, as difficulty rose, so did the price. When Mining slowed down, so did the price. With that being said, this coin could be accepted by every single merchant known to man kind, and on every exchange, however, if people dont mine it, and its difficulty to obtain the coins remains the same or similar, there will be no substantial price gains. Geting miners to adopt this coin before the 2015 N-factor change, is key, because AFTER then, they wont touch it, as it definataly will not be profitable for the 'typical miner', as they need to factor in mining gear & electrical costs aswell. Get the word out that mining this NOW before the N-factor change could be the best possible move they could make. Charts dont lie. Charts dont fud. Charts dont HYPE. I see good efforts withinin the very few people that even post in this thread, however, if Miner adoption isnt one of the main key goals, nothing will happen of great notice.
Well, mining profitability may be increased by merge mining EXE/MON/PLX now.
BTW - I will put it down today for 5-10 minutes (not more) for maintenance.
