Launching an Altcoin? Please do this!

[bitideas]

Before you launch your new altcoin, please at least get the *dot com* of your coin's name and build a website!  If you do, it will make it so much easier to raise awareness in and market your altcoin, not to mention it's a logical first step towards professionalism in the digital world for which you're attempting to provide cryptocurrency.

And don't forget to set up your Subreddit, Twitter, and Facebook, and be active in them! Don't just set it up and walk away!  Especially be active on Twitter, using hashtags that will put your in front of cryptourrency users with very little effort.  And if you offer giveaways, you can get people to spread the word for you and make the coin more valuable.

I'm looking for altcoins to promote, but so many of them that capture my attention seem to have absolutely no marketing plan whatsoever to make them stand out in a world where new coins are falling like rain. Marketing is very important in getting the attention of the developers who will make your coins useful and popular, so please give that some thought. Hundred of millions of people will be finding out about Altcoins over the coming year.  Don't let yours fall by the wayside because nobody knows it exists.

Also ; please add something of value. Just another altcoin with no utility is a waste of everyone's time, except for the dev who pre-mined it.

What are things of value that a developer can add to a coin to make it more valuable? What are special features you're already seeing, or would like to see?

Your mission should be to think of something the cryptocurrency world needs, and how to offer that.

"launching a new coin" is NOT a good goal per se. It can only be a means to an end.

Ask yourself what your motivation is. Really. Do you just want to make money ? Or do you want to add something usefull to the world ?

Are you a giver or a taker ? We don't need more takers.
