Hi to all members of the still small CACH community,
there are hundreds of altcoins out there. Lots of them are more or less “shitcoins”, just copies of Litecoin or Bitcoin without any special features. But beyond this mountain of useless altcoins there are just a few real potential altcoins.
In my opinion the cachecoin is definitely one of the more potential ones or even the most potential one.
(But it’s not my intention with this post to praise or to list all the pros I see in the cachecoin.)
In order to get the attention it deserves I think we have to put a little more
structure in promoting and development of the coin.
I would like to suggest a few possible points that came to my mind:
Basically we have to build a nice, competent and experienced dev and promoting team (that does not mean that I am not appreciating the work done by kalgecin – quite the opposite, nice work done so far!) as well as structures that give the community the possibility to give some feedback or to post suggest new features and support the dev and promo team.
Dev team: for
creating and implementation of the features/content
Promo team: for communication of the features, content etc. you may say it’s the
output.
Feedback/input channel: input from the community for dev team and promotion team
We may consider to create a platform for coordinating the work (external forum, should not be the official thread on bitcointalk, nevertheless could be public as well. Maybe some skype groups as well etc…)
Some brainstorming:
Dev team:- Updating and bug fixing
- Implementation of new features
- Creating binaries for Win, Linux, MacOS
- Maybe: Create Android wallet or iOS App
Promo team:On the one hand communicate the features and content and create image (what kind of image has to be discussed)
- Generally: build up a feature list (question: Why should I join the cachecoin community)
- Website (news, design)
- Official threads (create structured entry post with most important features and latest news, as well as support in the thread) on bitcointalk, litecointalk etc.
- Media (writing articles for blogs, news pages about cachecoin its features, news)
- Exchange sites and get listed on other mining information/comparison websites
- (near) future: make coin attractive for merchants to accept cachecoin as payment
- Other promos like giveaways
- Social networks / social media , maybe in future
Feedback/input channel:- Bug report
- New feature list, maybe with a voting system
- Platform for community decisions
All this of course can be done by volunteers, we may raise funds by donations and pay “team members” or we can do it with bounties and pay for completed tasks. There are pro/contra for any of these solutions…
As I am not a native English speaker my language skills aren’t perfect, I apologize for that and for the dramatically enthusiastic statements at the beginning of this post. (It would have been even richer in metaphors in my native language
)
Feel free to comment on everything!

Great ideas. I think raising the profile of CACH in any way shape or form is a must to push the coin forward and exploiting social media outlets to further this is a very promising suggestion. A smaller, dedicated forum on the CACH website would almost certainly help development as well and would help to build the community up around the coin. I think marketing the coin as if you were to market a business or a product is a surefire way to get it noticed.
I would be very happy to setup a forum or a wiki with info for potential newcomers to the coin but I think if it were to be hosted on the official site it may lend itself to the authenticity and boost the credibility of the site.
