Lets look forward, not backward.
We as a community invested time and money into this coin.
Let us turn this coin around from another scam to a success.
We have the chance and we should use it.
First lets make the changeover.
Than the coin needs a market where it can be used.
After that we can look into which new options might be helpful for this coin.
There are a few interesting innovations, some newer coins are developing; let them work it out and than adopt it
Guldencoin is an example of a national coin that looks successfull and Strlingcoin looks prommissing too.
Without a market that is willing to use that coin, the best innovation will do nothing.
And the name? Depends if the targeted market will still be California. If it becomes Canada Coin it wouldn't be the end of the world for me.
Disclaimer: I am from Europe, not from California but wouldn't mind living there or on a nice caribian island later.
