As investor in this coin, I have say this, and it might not sit well with a few people but oh well. With an ever increasing competitive altcoin scene, its imperative that development stays fast and updates remain frequent.

Why: because when the devs stay silent, even if they are legit, the price and volume tank. And the more they tank, the harder it is to rebound, regardless of future releases. So protecting the price and volume through constant updates is extremely necessary especially in the beginning phases. So I would urge the devs to give updates more frequently, and be more specific and less vague. Waiting for a pending-patent could spell disaster for this coin. And anybody who wants to argue that Microsoft took 10 years to develop windows, should re-evaluate that argument. Cryptos (for now at least) work much differently, and even a week of inactivity would spell disaster.

People always want to dump their holdings and go catch the flavor of the week. In order to stay ahead of the curve, frequent updates, and more importantly a speedy development while keeping the community and investors informed during the process is important. This will keep the volume and price stable, which is important. I cant stress that enough. Yea some hype could be considered unethical, but in the current altcoin scene, its necessary to keep the exposure. Some developers go their way with developing the features, and stay quiet, killing the price and volume. And when they do finally release it, the coin barely sees any movement, because they never established themselves as a major coin to begin with. Only established altcoin devs can stay quiet for a reasonable long period of time without suffering the consequences. Examples of these established alts would be DRK, XC, VRC, CLOAK. All other alts are fucked if the devs are not constantly active and steadfast.

Oh, and an example of an alt that is doing it right at the moment is VOOT, because their volume has stayed in the top 10 on bittrex for weeks now. The dev gives constant updates, stays active and is releasing features frequently. As a result, the community is growing and whales are getting involved. Love em or hate em, whales are essential to get any coin to that next level.

Wow you guys are amped and skewed. What you're saying is... if the price doesn't rebound in less than a month, so you can sell, it will be a disaster. That's not investing that's gambling. Go buy some scratchers.

This is doublespeak at it's worst because you're not even smart enough to understand your rape of logic. What you actually want is a great 2 week p&d coin, not a coin with a long slow uptrend. Just so you're clear.

 i invested it into asics, which i dont have and might have been scammed by alpha.

Sadly nothing, they just talk like any ordinary coin, hash rate, pool mining etc. they are not doing anything different than any other coin that come in every week. Its a pity that such a good coin with a huge community they only thing they do is to talk about hash rate, pool, mining. This will not raise the value!! I said this lot of time and every time I write the value is lower and they continue talking about the same stuff. I said you need to join a bank, big company etc is not your future is written. don't you realise how many new coins are coming in everyday? the more coins they are release UTC value will be lower. I want the success of this coin, but seeing people always talking about the same thing does not help utc. UTC NEEDS MARKETING, and use as a currency not only for games, that's what every coin does, you need something new, unique, don't do what other vulgar coins do, be creative, management of this coins, sign they messages, with tittles of Directors,Executive Marketing Etc, Please more actions and less high-ranking I find that trivial when this coins has not done anything major yet. Its not an enterprise yet to carry on those names. Please lets be more modest and do something significant to wear those names. This coin UTC has a great future if we do great things not just words after words...Action, join, do partnership, Negociate with big shops, a big name brand. I know is hard to make a coin successful and its not easy, But its nothing is done this beautiful coin can die soon if nothing serious is done

Why not wait until... I don't know ... the scrypt ASIC's to hit the market before going into an absolute panic
