I think what this coin need is to provide some real services or goods, it should be useable somehow, that is where the value comes from, (eg. in connection with route 66 there is all sorts of goods and services which could be traded with 66) but there was no attempt to even try so far, succes is not coming from exchanges
and if youre gonna change the algorithm I would say change from POW to POS and there will be no need for complicated changes with pools or miners, and the coin should be harder to collect so the price should rise a bit
smokey hasnt been smoking... sounds like a sober statement..
i think he's got a point. algo changing wont really do much im thinking..
only frustrate the people who have to change there software and wallets (again-no offense)
but would make it scrypt asic resistant.. thats a good thing
this POS thing would be a nice addition? makes it a lil more "hard to get" and interesting. i personally like the idea of these hybrids.(but thats me)
and maybe the coin should be connected to something like smokey said.. like route 66 goodies and collectables or games ..(or something i dunno)
even if u blog tweet fb or something now.. people see the coin but cant do anything with it but trade for btc... so they will go for most profitable easy to mine coin.
u can pump up the price in exchanges but this doesnt mean people will give the coin the same value as we think it should be.
gotta make it seem "different and better" as all the other coins somehow.
this is not done by changing algo rythm.
cheers
