Your reaction is understandable because you misunderstood my statement for (the dark side) of the industry, and its normal to react this way because 'pump-n-dump' is going on daily in the digital currency industry. Let me refresh the plan of action that is taking place (outside of bitcointalk.org) since PHCoin is being introduced to miners outside of the digital currency industry, and I believe my excitement played a role in that statement. Sure, I am certain there is miners here from bitcointalk, which is why I am curious to find out (HOW many?) so I can tally up the marketing and promotional efforts.
There is progress being made by introducing phcoin mining to new comers from external communities in/out of the Philippines. Maybe the exchange had no meaning to my statement, except that Philippines miners are starting to understand exactly how they can earn 'phcoins' while having their computer or laptop idle running the PHCoin Miner in the background. Not to mention, they now see its possible through an exchange and how easy it really is to exchange PHCoin into Bitcoin and convert into Pesos. I guess you wouldn't expect a tutorial on how to do this either from this team: http://phcoin.org/access/how-to-mine-phc-on-a-windows-pc-or-laptop
and I am not asking anyone to invest into anything. I asked a question about who is mining, and stated some numbers.
Transparency is one of Mike Scofield's key notes throughout the progress of this mission.
I think you do have some good points about transparency that need to be brought out to light.
