You are forgetting one very fundamental thing... the miner and his GPUC/MH/day. No matter what push and pull, the market will always settle down to this price range... we can call that the equilibrium price (EQ). If its higher, people all drop their current coin jump to mine this one and sell for that high price till it drops to the EQ price . If its lower, people all drop the coin and go to another coin. This scarcity will have people bidding one other to buy the coin till it reacher EQ range. It would be foolish for the CEO to list prices that are not in this EQ range. I think you are also missing one point. That most of the other coins have no other real purpose other than just being a coin. Gpucoin has something different, they have a product behind the coin. This creates further interest that most of the other coins don't have. So what? Other coins can be exchanged for BTC, which in turn can be exchanged for fiat. The BTC is the "product" of value as far as anyone is concerned. I can get amazon gift cards with Noblecoin... doesnt really make a difference (unless I get them cheaper or more profitably)... I could just as well have my rigs pointed at a multipool and use the BTC proceeds to get the gift card. Alternatively, rent them out for the market rate and earn BTC. Similarly GPUC will float around that EQ. Artificially manipulating the prices (by offering the graphics card at non-market prices) will just crash the system. It will either be unsold due to unreasonable prices, or it would be sold out with a loss, leading to an unsustainable business model. BTC is not a product, Its simply a means of transferring wealth. Like cash. There needs to be support built round the coin or it collapses. like it has done recently. You can do all the support you want when scandals like Mt. Gox happen it's bown to impact the coin. Just like the financial crisis did for fiat currency.

BTC is an experiment, GPUC is an experiment, sit back and enjoy the ride. This coin is trying to be different, most alts have nothing else new tried, if you like the idea buy some coins, if not move along, these are not the droids you are looking for. Wow... chill... no need to get all George Bush and patriotic on me . Explaining some simple economics does not make it an irrational "either with us or against us" scenario. This is a forum and ideas and opinions are supposed to clash, countered, learned, unlearned, relearned, etc. Its part of the ride.

Delete everything in AppData/gpucoin EXCEPT for wallet.dat Then open the client again. You will have to download the entire blockchain again.

With all the talk about multipools, have the coin devs looked at implementing something like Digishield developed by the Digibyte team to prevent the multipools from influencing the difficulty and getting an advantage over others? DOGE recently implemented it with much success. I'm sure the DGB team would share the code and help when we get to that point. http://www.reddit.com/r/Digibyte/comments/1yn6t1/digibyte_v_20_code_name_digishield/

Why do I get the feeling that somebody is purposely keeping this coin at BTC0.00000031 on cryptorush.

Wont matter soon as when the buyers flood in, this will rip past that figure.

You should not buy a warrant unless you are prepared to sustain a total loss of the money you have invested plus any commission or other transaction charges

Great to see you following / owning some of these coins!! Thanks for retweeting my tweet too! I like to support coins with new ideas behind. GPUCoin and GridCoin are good examples. You shouldn't need a lot if you help spread the word.
I'll try to make more people familiar with the concept. My buddy will do a blog post about GPUcoin soon
