I'm surprised this coin hasn't caught on more. Everyone scared of the ASIC monsters coming to eat up the profitability of their GPUs loves new algos, heat and power use is low, and GPU mining is only like 5-10x more efficient than CPU.

I think the marketing on this coin is just shit.

First off, the name is god awful, no one knows how to say it or spell it. Just because it is the name of the algo doesn't mean it has to be the name of the coin. Look at Skeincoin. Seems like a solid coin and algo, name is shit, no one wants to touch it right outta the gate.

Secondly, no one is playing up the fact that GPU mining is only 5-10x more efficient that a CPU. This may not seem like a great thing at first, but gives a perfect way to market itself to miners. "CPU/GPU miners united together, against the ASIC hordes!"

Now I hate this cliche and I never use it myself, but seriously, the devs have got to be autistic.

You have these really cool aspects of the coin, yet you are promoting it with a link to the Grosestl whitepaper? NO ONE IS GONNA READ THE FUCKING WHITE PAPER!

Seriously devs, make a new thread, stick my slogan about CPU/GPU miners united against ASIC in the title, and BOOM, interest in the coin rises 10x overnight.

Your welcome.

Wholeheartedly agree with this post. I think this coin has really great potential but it needs more widespread appeal.

I personally like the name & straightforward approach but I realize that this probably won't appeal to a broad audience. Having a clear selling point as sixteendigits proposed will help differentiate this coin from the rest of the pack & this needs to be done ASAP so that people can still feel like they're getting in at a good time. If a month goes by and the block reward is significantly less than what a handful of miners were getting at the beginning then calhil will end up being right in the end.

It's clear to me that the people who know about this coin have a strong interest in it. The coin has had the highest volumes on NXT-E of any coins listed on the site for a little while now and there has been fairly consistent buy support in that time. We just need to reach more people!

I have been voting regularly for the coin on Mintpal, but I think that getting the coin listed at Bittrex or Poloniex, both of which seem realistic to me now or in the near future, would be a great step forward. And yes, cleaning up the website & sprucing up the overall marketing is imperative. Let's get the word out on this coin before it's no longer worth it for newcomers to join in.
