I have been mining SKC for a few days now and as a noob in cryptocurrencies I was wondering what coud lead to potential succes for an altcoin. I figured this would also be helpful with the "marketing", as u guys were speaking about it earlier.

Hopefully u guys will be able to help out with these points.
 
First of all a few arguments I saw passing by in other topics that made a coin fail:
1)Pre-mined PoW coin = fail 2)Bad community? 3)Popular because of the name (conye, weed, alien) 4)A copy of BTC (why not use BTC then?)

Now I know SKC passes the first 3, but I am not technical enough to understand what makes SKC an alternative for BTC, what does SKC have over BTC, why is it renewing?

Secondly, pretty much the opposites of the first, what could lead to succes:

1) A solid community, support, bugfixing 2)A good image/reputation (no pre-mining), the logo, an app 3)Functionality, what can I do with the coin? I already saw the idea of buying Skeinsocks coming by 4)Innovation, better technology (Skein claims to be energy efficient for example)

I think answering these questions could actually help make it more popular, if answered correctly ofcourse Maybe make a small advertisement text out of it.

What do u guys think about these points? Why is SKC better then other alternatives?
