I wonder how much of a turn off calling it POT instead of PTC is for some merchants. I still don't get that one. I naturally wanna call it PTC, it just feels right to me.
How could that be a turnoff?? Merchants Potcoin are targeting are already selling legal cannabis, seeds or accessories. POT is fine, three letters giving an accurate description of what it is. PTC could stand for Peer Transfer Coin or whatever

Bitcoin was the pioneer. Don't forget that Bitcoin gained notoriety because of Silk Road and the illegal transactions. As illegal as it may have been, it bridged the virtual/physical gap.
I have been on board mining POT since day one. I believe the opportunity in POT is unusual in the crypto world because it has that same chance to target a very defined and accessible market and bridge the virtual/physical gap.
You said a lot of good things, but that right there. That is what i have been trying to find the words to describe and why i think potcoin has a future. I thought this at the start , but Bitcoin was helped because it was the ONLY way to buy drugs from silk road, Potcoin isnt needed to buy weed. everyone is still smoking weed without Potcoin and no one was buying drugs from silk road with out bitcoin.

I just downloaded the client and it will not sync... I tried both windows and Mac. Please help. I have a customer request for a Potcoin Crypto-Card and cannot proceed with building it until I get a synced client. Thanks.

I thought this at the start , but Bitcoin was helped because it was the ONLY way to buy drugs from silk road, Potcoin isnt needed to buy weed. everyone is still smoking weed without Potcoin and no one was buying drugs from silk road with out bitcoin. Completely agree. However, POT by design is going after a legal and defined market. Yes, people will still buy weed. And yes, eventually the government in the US will get their act together and allow for bank accounts and such to support the legal trade. However, there is still a segment of people that are going to be uncomfortable with swiping their credit card at a dispensary and want both a secure method of payment and a method that does not require carrying around wads of cash. With POT you provide an alternative method of payment for ALL transactions, not limited to the Silk Road variety. It just happens to be focused on one market. Now that being said ... the bigger concern would be if a marketing/point of sale company came a long and decided to approach these same dispensaries with Bitcoin based systems that provide the same alternate payment options. That would completely hang POT out to dry. The only way to minimize this is by being first and being entrenched in the market. But still if it happened, I think it would be tough for POT to compete - Bitcoin is just too big.

Seriously, I feel like someone who would be willing to USE a potcoin, is not going to be offended at the name potcoin.

PTC could stand for Peer Transfer Coin or whatever I can't convince you it would be if you don't think it would be. You are correct in the sense that if they are selling this type of stuff they shouldn't mind it, and i guess i am thinking in a more broad sense of potcoin gaining acceptance outside of the pot community, maybe i am thinking about things wrong. Someone out there might not like it, and i personally think seeing POT out there looks stupid, i don't like it, but to each their own. Glad you do like it.

Potcoin had a good presence at the 4/20 event, but what I'm really waiting for is people tweeting or putting on facebook stuff like "I just bought weed with Potcoin!". It should be in your face to an extent, this is a political statement after all.

Upward trend average on the base price of POT over the last couple days since pixskull's announcement. No idea if there's a correlation there, but it just goes to show that the more places it can be used, the greater potential price.
