I've uploaded a bootstrap for those interested:
http://cachecoin.catcoin.cz/bootstrap.tar.bz2 (212 MB)
Extract contents of the archive into ~/.cachecoin and then syncing should be fast.

I've checked the status and there is quite some heavy mining.

Due to high n-factor, Cachecoin is no longer very efficiently minable with GPU and with decent CPU you get roughly 40 hashes per second.

As the estimated network hashrate is quite high (20-40Kh/s, which is approximately 500 to 1000 of CPUs), mining on a single CPU would mean several days to find a block.

I may set up a mining pool if somebody would be interested.

If you have trouble connecting, add nodes to ~/.cachecoin/cachecoin.conf:
