Firstly, thanks to Spiry Golden, the only person (and Snail) who has tried to help.

Do you think the Crypto Town Project is a scam? But I pm-ed two senior community members, asking them to weigh in with the Denmark community -- no reply.

I emailed Catherine Glover, asking about Franko's acceptance at B.C. C. o. C. No reply. You have been called liars to your face over this gig. I undertook to do my homework. Doesn't look good!

Then I offered to provide some 'back-up' to the Oyster Shindig -- no reply.

Why has no one commented on the list of exchanges? I can't find Frankos on pmtocoins. The volume on several of the other exchanges is so low that there is no point in even having listings on them. It is certainly disingenous to make a fuss about 'More Listings!!'

I paid Frankos to three people on the Franko in Your Signature thread just because it's low rent to have squabbles as half of the activity on your threads.

And why isn't the community congregated at one place or another. I've spent three weeks moving from Reddit Franko to Franko.org to Franko Collective to one thread at Bitcointalk to another thread at Bitcointalk to yet another thread at Bitcointalk. The 'front-of-house' dates on these threads are months old, so people have to HUNT to find the unprofessionally scrappy communications.

And, this morning, I find that the coin has plummeted in value without that raising any discussion in the community.

Franko is a fine little coin -- but get your act together, people!!

IndiaMikeZulu must go to bat for Franko with the Influential People of Denmark next week, but we not only can't get coin, we can't make contact with the community to discuss the problem.

If we start buying coin at far above the market price, the market price will rise. IndiaMikeZulu holds a Grand Total of 138 Frankos, bought in a single package on Cryptsy a couple of weeks ago. So, we'll end up losing hundreds and hundreds of dollars buying coin to sell to others at a break-even price in order to develop a coin that we don't have holdings of, the community of which is just sitting in the shadows getting rich. And we'll invest hundreds and hundreds of dollars and hours for the privilege of losing that money??

Gee . . . we're not gonna do that.

What's going on?

Spiry is very very helpful and we are insanely glad he is on our team.

I dont think its a scam, I just dont really know much about it.

You can only be on this show if you are a Chamber member and its hosted by Catherine Glover herself.

If you want to make a donation, I recommend contacting Jeanie Neiderhauser instead of Catherine Glober because Jeanie usually responds faster.

Her email is, jniederhauser@wbcchamber.com

Franko was on pmtocoins but the owner removed it because of low volume. Franko by nature is a low volume coin, and all that volume is traded on the first exchange FRK was traded, cryptsy.com Why would you risk buying frk at a new exchange when you can buy it at an older more trusted exchange?! You wouldnt, and so many people dont. Those other exchanges get hacked tons so its a great thing the volume is on cryptsy. Franko has been low volume forever, but we keep a steady volume and a steady interest.

Thanks, I appreciate your help, If you want to take over it completely I can. I stated the rules time and time again, sent them all messages explaining the situation, and then got tired of them STILL not getting it. It only feasible to make a payment once a month, and its only fair I pay them for their starting counts instead of their ending counts. They are trying to get paid for their ending counts, so signature people may do that, I however do not pay people per post, because that encourages spamming and other nonsense.

Great question, and the answer is, preference. Some people like reddit, some people like facebook, some people like bitcointalk, some people like irc, and it seems most of the collective likes skype. You dont have to hunt if you are in all of the places like I have to be in all of these places. Now you know why I am so busy. Because all of these places have to be maintained because they are all equally important to the people who only use them. We have this forum but you see how scarce it is. I agree we need to get more organized.

Because it really hasnt plummeted, it is very volatile, it goes up and down and up and down, but if you look at the all time chart, its a pretty straight and stable line with a few bubbles. Stability is great for a currency. Ask some leaf and panda holders how they feel about plummeting. Leaf dropped what, 3000%?

I agree there is need for improvement.

I go to bat infront of a couple hundred in 9 days. I know how you feel to be nervous.

Thing is, there is no premine to fill your coffers with for reassurance and the only way for you to have stake in FRK is if you buy it like everyone else has had to. Either with mining or with dollars. As you have noticed with FRK, not many people sell them because of how hard they are to make in comparison to the other coins. Only 130k exist so any investment into the market to receive any substantial amount of them will drive the price up. That is how FRK was designed. To be valuable.

Gee . . . we're not gonna do that.

Then i'm not sure what else can be done.
