Thanks for the fee suggestion guys
Tom is now exploring z-nomp and trying to setup the pool fee.
As of now VoteCoin official pool mined and paid out 3916816.04419753 VOT since we launched it.
1% is about 39k VOT which equals roughly $1000 at current prices.
With that kind of money we can't do any serious marketing, but it is still better than nothing
Can we maybe have a list of recommended pools which donate .5% or 1% to the community for projects which can then be voted on how to use the funds, like getting listed on other exchanges or other marketing things? Then have another list of other pools, I think having more pools is a simple way to gain awareness.
Another option is to have someone create a pool or work with a pool to donate 100% of hashing power for "x" amount of time or until a certain target is reached. Then ideas which are voted on can be funded this way. If everyone dedicates some hashing power to accomplish a goal and increase the value of the coins they are HODLing it can go a long way. You can make it fun by maybe adding a jackpot so someone can win say "x" amount of coins for donating their time like a lottery.
Also, getting onto other exchanges will increase the value of the coin too, which will give some more money for marketing too.
Also, maybe look for any chance for this dev team to work with another coins pod or dev team. Either they help with development of VoteCoin or we help with their coin. Both coins will win as the users of each will learn about the coin.
Though, I think the dev just needs to keep doing what he is doing and making practical useful upgrades and features available. Let the coin speak for itself. I like the fact they aren't caught up in self promotion and focusing on the task at hand, that alone speaks volumes.
