I think danosphere hit on another important issue... "At the right price".
I am sincerely hoping that this lull will give an opportunity for the hit-n-run miners to dump all the MEOW at ridiculously low prices to people who are willing to actually demand a higher price. I nearly choked when we were trading at .8-1 BTC/million MEOW (granted those were private party trades on reddit)... that it's a tiny fraction of that now is rather disappointing. The thing is, it's possible to get back there.
Also... While it might encourage more drive-by mining at first, getting listed on CoinWarz would definitely help. I'm pretty sure they had a large influence on NET's advancement. I'm pretty sure that'll require being an an exchange that deals in fiat currency.
Oh, and fractured information sources too... There's a bunch of info just randomly spread around a bunch of sources and at least like half of it still has incorrect data (like the 100 vs. 50 billion cap)
