It's such a well thought and well written post. Someone give this guy some Cats.

Fark... it is not his post.... he stole it from Dogecoin thread... It was a Dogecoin post posted on 25th December... Check the 129th comment on the following link to see the original...

BS BS BS

LOL

This is a comment appeared in the Dogecoin thread  about Dogecoin. This user just replaced Dogecoin with Catcoin and posted this here, shamelessly....

I knew I'd seen it in the Dogecoin thread! I wonder if its made its way into the Pandacoin thread yet? 

[Last1212]

This thread become more and more interesting every time I open it

look this is so easy any retard can get it, this is not about popularity and shit , it's also not a scam because there was no premine and I think the dev has little to no coins (hence the very few appearances and close to no promotion). If this coin gets any real use (businesses start accepting it) it will BLOW THE FUCK UP in value because it's scarce and hard to mine. so instead of bitching about it spam everything you can with the idea to accept catcoin and you'll see your profits skyrocket.

Agreed.

Want Catcoin to become a method of internet payment?

Request it both here and here.

If you're invested in Catcoin and you want it to soar, then the best thing you can do is promote it.

EVERYONE here should be doing this to support Catcoin!
Can someone give me a list of things to put into the fields?
Coin name: Catcoin
Coin website: Cryptsy, CoinedUp, CoinedEx
Average block time: ??
Recommended Number of Confirms: ??
Are you the developer?: No

Coin name: Catcoin
Coin website: Cryptsy, CoinedUp, CoinedEx
Average block time: 10 mins
Recommended Number of Confirms: 3
Are you the developer?: No

This is what I put.

Ethos (Credibility), or ethical appeal, means convincing by the character of the author (or of the crypto in our case). We tend to believe people whom we respect. One of the central problems of argumentation is to project an impression to the reader that you are someone worth listening to, in other words making yourself as author into an authority on the subject of the paper, as well as someone who is likable and worthy of respect.  Crypt-currencies have established their Ethos, we know that it is legitimate. We believe in it.

Logos (Logical) means persuading by the use of reasoning. Giving reasons is the heart of argumentation, and cannot be emphasized enough. Crypto-currencies are logical to user over other payment methods for a variety of reasons.

Pathos (Emotional) means persuading by appealing to the reader's emotions. Language choice affects the audience's emotional response, and emotional appeal can effectively be used to enhance an argument. Excluding Catcoin, all other Crypto-currencies lack Pathos.

Now finally to my point:
When I speak of persuasion going forward, what I am speaking of is the ability to win over people and get them to engage in the use of a crypto-currency. And I’m not speaking of the IT person or other tech savvy individual who is most likely well aware of crypto-currencies. Instead, I’m speaking of the average person.

If we examine Bitcoin, Litecoin and the myriad of other cryptographic-currencies we can see that they definitely contain two of the three elements needed to be successful in persuading someone to “agree” with them (use them). The two elements that Bitcoin and alt-coins possess are Logos and Ethos.

Crypto-Ethos – I don’t think that I need to go too much into this. But if you understand crypto, then you’ll know crypto can be trusted. Crypto is trustworthy, you can believe it.

Crypto-Logos – if you have a basic understanding of how crypto-currencies work, then you’ll understand the logical benefits that it can offer. Credits cards weren’t meant to be used on the internet and the 21st century needs a new form of digital currency and crypto is the answer.

So to sum things up, there are logical reasons to use crypto-currencies and crypto is trustworthy.

The Crypto-Pathos is missing though. (until Catcoin)

.....

There will be many other coins to follow in Catcoin’s footstep that will utilize all 3 of the elements necessary to motivate non-tech people to embrace these types of currencies and I think that Catcoin is off to a great start because it possess all of the technological aspects of Bitcoin but has the ability to make the average person smile. Can any other crypto-currency do that?

Catcoin has no Ethos (and very limited Logos) if the Catcoin developers use internet handles.

The most successful operating system in history was released by a man named Linus Torvolds, and I would argue there are two reasons:
1) it was released under the GPL license, forcing large commercial end-users to contribute back to the community.
2) developers and end-users both respected Linus's code, AND his personal ethics.

I trust the bitcoin code, because I can audit it. However, I cannot name a single Bitcoin exchange, or even bitcoin developer I really trust because I cannot tell what their bitcoin holdings are, or what sort of anonymous deals they may have cut to get better information to gain a profit in the market. If you've tried to buy a bitcoin miner you might share some of my reasons to be wary of the bitcoin community.

I see great potential in Catcoin if those of you on this forum can offer some onymity (opposite of anonymity) and lend your personal ethos and integrity to the great cryptographic achievement given to us by the anonymous Satoshi.

My name is Troy Benjegerdes, I currently have 142 catcoins, and I'm planning to provide an AGPLv3 licensed fork of catcoin at https://bitbucket.org/dahozer/catcoin, and I hope that many of you will file issue reports to make sure that my version of catcoin interoperates with the source at https://github.com/kR105/catcoin

In all seriousness.  Who wants to throw in with me for a Catcoin Billboard to be placed in a high pop. area. That would instantly get things moving, alot of people who have heard of bitcoins (its becoming a household name, my grandma even knows what it is now) have never heard of ANY kind of Altcoin, Let CatCoin be the first!

I've got $200 on it


We could raise enough in no time

[Last1212]

Maybe use Google adwords? I am curious, why other cryptos don't do that.

Well lets first establish where we want this billboard to be placed. Which State/City.

It really shouldn't be that much at all.

This is a GREAT idea

I think the problem that this coin has right now it's it price/difficulty ratio, this issue was created by the pump and dump people (which obviously won over the offer and demand system) and if you go back a few days in exchanges charts, you can see how the price was artificially inflated and difflated.


The diff retarget won't solve this problem and won't change things much, simply because in currect situation diff/price is not affected, the only diff retarget is doing, is giving a reason to miners to mine when the hashrate is so low and diff is low. maybe rising block reward would have a better solution but it has many drawbacks on it own, but now we have to work with what we have

So what this coin needs, is a price rise, but doing that artificially is useless. so what are our solutions :

1- Rise confidence in the coin (for current and future investors to buy more and stop the dumping)
2- Make the coin more desirable, Nullu mentioned shoping that's one way of doing thing, also massive advertising is another one to do thing, social medias, (People that holds the FB and Tweeter account, need to update these account a couple of times a day, heck I went to FB and none is speaking about the new fork or the new catcoin casino or dice..... more posts on reddit and stuff like that, and trade cat for other notirious coins, don't focus on just BTC, LTC, XPM.... should be considered this is an ecosystem and not limited to cat/btc

I mean people buying this coin very cheap there are buy walls of over 22k coins each and yet this investiment is just a wasted investiment for these people if they don't advertise the coin, and this is not only them, medium and small owners should help with this.

3-Developement: not only on the coin side, but anything that can either add value (like : apps, calculator, custom miner, games ....)

Also to Kr105, I think you should be more active, much more than this and communicate some more and update the OP thread with the latest informations, and discuss ideas with people (discussing =/= implementing) once there is something an idea that could help the coin, why not implement it after a community vote or something like that, Look at doge, despite the deflation it having right now (due to the inflantion it got) developement is still going strong, and op thread is updated on regular basis

My husband is a sales manager at a local supermarket and he convinced the owners to start accepting payments in BTC, LTC and wait for it .... CAT. BAM right in the kisser altcoins

As long someone trustworthy controls the funds, and this can be achieved, it's a great idea. Catcoin on a billboard would be amazing.

it most likely will unfortunately not intl papers but only in Romania hopefully someone picks it up from there and takes it intly

Count me as someone who will never, ever visit catcoinforums again. Boycott that shit. TY

i'm with this boycott

[Nullu]

i wish this coin would stop fucking around with my emotions

As much as I like this coin, you kind of have to detach your feelings from it. I consider this coin a serious investment. I think the fact that it's called Catcoin is a huge seller for this coin, and could have massive appeal.

We need to get this coin talked about in blogs. Perhaps we need a giveaway offering Cat for blog entries. I may have time to host it.
