Rationalization #2. I'm thinking 4-dimensionally.
I'm here to make you feel better. Think of it this way:
Finding 1 ProtoShare a day might not seem like much right now, but for investors with vision its not hard to imagine that single lousy ProtoShare equalling a tenth of a bitcoin in a few months. Maybe half a bitcoin in a year. Counting the value of the DACs it spawns that one ProtoShare could accumulate a whole bitcoin's worth of wealth in the foreseeable future.
Would you be happy finding a new bitcoin in your wallet once a day? Seize your poor little ProtoCoin now and take it back to the future. That's where we're all headed anyway, at the rate of one day per day.
I don't mourn the departure those who are in this to turn a quick profit and move on to the next altcoin. The people who matter to me are the investors who see the vision and are in this with us for the long haul. They are the ones who will take the time to master DAC-based trading and use their shares to build more wealth. They will ultimately prevail.
Patience is a virtue. I expect to see the virtuous rewarded.
Now get back out there on the battlefield and mine another one for the Gipper!
I love how the forum has calmed down in the past few days.
For the most part, people are talking courteously, the way they would face-to-face, not hiding behind a keyboard lobbing grenades.
Every once in a while, when I am tempted to criticize the efforts of others, I like to get out President Teddy Roosevelt's famous quote and recalibrate my attitude...

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.
