It caters to a huge niche. And people are not heditant to invest in something that will teach their children practicalities.

If the devs are easily available for interviews someone could offer access to them with any of a number of sites. "Dear Smartkid.com, there is a cryptocurrency designed to teach kids about altcoins. The developers would be happy to answer any questions you or your readers might have... etc". I don't know if smartkid.com is really a website.

bolded for double emphasis

The cryptonote algo raises suspicions among a lot of people. To give another coin almost the same name and ticker symbol seems like a mistake. Like naming a new sleep aid "Thalidomed". Probably not too many will buy based on the name until the distinction is clear and people know they are not both the same thing.

But the mini blockchain and willingness to take bigger innovative steps will overcome the handicap of a bad name. There only needs to be one positive article on a respected site that emphasizes the benefits of a small blockchain. Then blastoff.

Another point about marketing. If you are selling a car that looks like shit and gets two miles per gallon you must focus on marketing. But if you come out with a car that looks okay and gets fifty miles per gallon you need to focus on patience. Marketing will take care of itself. If someone sees an opportunity to emphasize that a coin exists now with a reasonably sized blockchain then mention it. No sensible person would ignore the first coin with a blockchain that can be downloaded in minutes instead of days.

A basic question. When you back up a wallet you are only backing up addresses that have been used already, is that correct? In other words the wallet does not start out with any addresses and each time coins are received, if you generate a receiving address, you need to create a new backup?

Is there some chance of a sort of 51% attack in that? Could someone with lots of computers convince the network to accept a new version of the account balance tree?

That must be the person refered to in the faqs https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=713538.msg8196634#msg8196634

But since the tiniest percentage of coins were created early, the opposite of instamine I guess, that person has to keep mining/buying heavily to stay on top.
 

Between bter and poloniex there are more than 11btc of buy orders above 600.

If any more buyers show up something is probably going to break.

This is like when you are walking on a rural traintrack and you feel a rumble.

I have a hosting account with regular websites but am not a tech person and do not know any code stuff. Is it practical for me to consider trying to put it on my host or is it something that requires tech knowledge?

That is not 'supporting the xcn community'.

That is trying to use scam techniques to pump the coin.

xcn is one of the few coins that will probably do very well without any tricky shit.
It is very cheap right now.

Instead of using scammish doucheries to pump it why not let the market work?

If you want to run a scam there are lots of coins out there you can try to make a quick buck on.

looks like a reliably, steadily maintained coin

one of the earlier ones

very creative idea

worth noting too that there are <30,000 btg
also, the peak price occurred well after the peak for most coins

website's English needs to be cleaned up and maybe the concept clarified but this looks like a better coin

Is there a working Galaxy wallet that has been updated recently?
