I am also happy with my choice. Looks really promising even though there is a ton of cryptos in existence by now. Dedicated dev is definitely key.
Yeah, the developer is doing his job very well, the rest is up to us. There are a few simple things we can do as a community to boost the profile of this coin:
1. Post in this thread. Seriously, if you open this thread, and see new discussion, post a reply. Don't hesitate. I'm not saying you should post gibberish just to bump the thread. Contribute to the discussion and create a more active community. Don't let the thread stagnate when joining the discussion is such an easy thing to do.
2. Post on the subreddit. Same reasons as above. The subreddit is pretty much dead at the moment, which really isn't a good look.
3. Follow Viacoin on twitter.
We can't expect non-investors to get enthusiastic about VIA if they've never heard about it. In the long run, it would also be great to get a Viacoin community message board set up, like the one NEM has, but I'm not sure what that would entail.
