Let's talk about DOGE:
- DOGE is HYPED: the name and broken english memes are here to stay. People simply love that shit.
- DOGE is very such NUMEROUS: so many thousands of coins for everyone that it feels like being rich. People love this shit.
- DOGE is HAPPY: bringing smiles to people is the best added value you can dream of. People love this shit
- DOGE is PEDAGOGIC: because there are so many 1000s in your wallet for nothing, giving 1 or even 100 DOGE away or receiving them makes it fun. Best introduction to crypto EVER. People love this shit. And people tend to keep their first love as well.
As a matter of fact, DOGE is ALIVE and SUPERIOR despite whatever can be said against it.
DOGE started as a prank but clearly became a hold up that will overtake LTC sooner or later. See market caps for info.
And beyond all the UTC ASIC resistant bullshit that nobody besides miners care about, ordinary people are just happy saying WOW DOGE and exchanging complicit smiles with others while doing any symbolic transaction (because worth nothing) in DOGE. I'm not saying ASIC resistance is stupid, I believe it's not such a bad thing. However the point is that this is not what attracts the average joe to a given coin. And the average joe is the guy who brings his money in the game. We all started as average joes whether we like to admit it or not.
Exchanging is the base of price fixing and value increments.
So DOGE value increases consistently because of its POPULARITY.
Therefore, I'd like to ask bumface and the DEV team: any plan to try to approach DOGE's popularity? -Because without being able to be singled out of the crowd of the many such coins there's little hope UTC will ever reach whatever dreamed up value some people wish so strongly to achieve.
Bumface, you don't tell anything regarding your negotiations with possible big exchanges, which to some extent could be understood as some professional commitment, but on the other hand as a lame excuse for not doing anything as well. There are 2 faces for every coin, and so far we've been used to seeing the wrong one.
So, because you can't talk about ongoing negotiations, perhaps could you talk about marketing or public relationships efforts? -Because popularity is paramount to what will make this coin worth something or not in the future. Don't miss out on this one or you'll end up with another FTC/TRC/whatever scam pump and dump coin that everybody will avoid.
I hope you are shocked.
Now get back to work.
It's smart to look at doge for inspiration. Not because UTC should replicate it, but because people feel doge has a purpose. Does UTC? What distinguishes UTC from VTC, DRK, DC or other similar coins? I think if we answer that, then we can effectively promote UTC and make it grow.
The purpose of UTC is: UTC exists so "we the people" control the issuance of our currency
not a big bank that can afford to fill a sky-scrapper with asics.
That's pretty much the selling point.
sadly it looks like people don't want a new financial instrument, they want a sticker of a flappy bird on a digital zero and one;)
We could easily expand our horizon by adding features to the coin
Possible Features-
-Mixing to add anonymity to transactions.
-Nicer looking wallet (everyone uses generic wallet QT sooo boring)
-Chat Client in Wallet or on site, so like minded people can grow a community (troll box of sorts).
-1950's comic strip style adverts and videos with loud announcer voices going on screaming "ULTRA COIN" maybe a cartoon skit on how ultra coin and "ultra man will save the economy" with crypto.
-Fancy Logo maybe some graphics/animated coin "bling" to make it stand out more, most coins just have generic sticker logo, why not a gif with say a "shiny coin effect" people like shiny things.
something like this (

IDK just a few ideas.
You know for something named ultra coin it should be:
Ultra Secure
Ultra Anonymous
Ultra Fun
Ultra Fast
Ultra Cool
Ultra Popular
Ultra Decentralized
Not just "Ultra No Asic"
It needs to live up to its Ultra Name a little more, maybe I expect too much out of one coin, but this is ULTRA COIN.
You don't even have to implement all these features (right now), all you have to do is SAY YOU WILL and the price of the coin will rise enough where we could actually raise the funds TO DOIT and hire more people to work on the coin, and it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy of success! at which point we can put a donation meter on the Ultra Coin site (everyone can donate a little) to add to the success of the coin (no other coin has really done this)! and we can raise funds for specific feature implementations!
Whenever you give a service or sell something it has to got an added value to get into the market. DOGE has its popularity as you state. What will be the added value from UltraCoin? Is for all us guys here to define that added value. The coin is really fast for transactions and it is really decentralized, and I like it because my rigs stay at a decent temperature because the N-Factor. (Still I would like it will be less agressive). So in my humble opinion, first we have to decide what we want the coin to be, and then make a market campaign on it.
