Okay.. I know all of this has been mentioned above, but I wanted to share my problems so that [hopefully] the dev will start helping his own coin, and in-turn help us. First, we need a good, working block explorer (really, the hosting period just needs to be renewed here:
https://blockexperts.com/unb). Once that is accomplished, it will likely help attract more miners because they would see the coin/dev is active. Which also solves problem number two - the need for steady mining. Problem number three is the easiest fix of all. I have come across several broken links on the official coin site - not only is that unprofessional, it is easily fixable and a huge deterrent.
It was nice to see the dev had set a booth up in Las Vegas some time ago - it showed commitment, activeness, dedication, etc.. Looking back, perhaps the money would have been better spent fixing all of these potentially fatal issues (going in logical order, it seems sensible that one would want a strong, working coin before setting up a booth to promote it; otherwise what's the point?). Scrolling through only the last few pages of this thread, I haven't seen anything posted by the dev (
jimblasko), and this makes me wonder if the pending deposits on Bittrex will ever confirm (and even of they do, they will be worthless without an active dev).
EDIT: I did find some comments stating Jim Blasko's account was hacked, and he would create a new one after Thanksgiving, but it looks as if that never happened.. [please correct me if I'm wrong]
