PiggyCoin Dev Team: I am a loyal VTC supporter and investor for the long term, but since mining difficulty has gone up, I have been searching for additional coins that I feel have a fighting chance for long term success as well. I have been mining Piggy for about 2 days so far and finally got around to checking out your official website. Very nice job! I have been crypto mining/investing for about 3 months so far, and continually researching the market- and the Piggy site is off to a really great start. I have researched several other coin websites, and I have to say the Piggy site makes a great first impression. Nice graphics, best "how-to guides" I have seen with any coin, really looks promising! I know the tough part is actually marketing to kids, since it is already difficult to market the crypto concept to the public in general, especially since most people are not even aware of bitcoins. (& some of those have only heard the recent negative exchange troubles in news headlines) I think it will be great moving forward if we can somehow partner with some kids websites- especially that involve games, so that perhaps kids can "win" piggiecoins based on their performance. In addition to having typical action or sports games, it would be cool if some of the games were educational things like fun puzzles, trivia questions, math problems, etc. If we could somehow promote the "educational" aspect and use piggies as incentive rewards on a fun site, this crypto could really take off. If no existing sites are out there for us to partner with, perhaps we should consider launching something from scratch. I think once we had a game site in place, rather than marketing to the general public, I think the first place to target would be to all the existing miners/investors that are currently involved in other crypto coins. Many of these people have kids, and would absolutely love to get their families involved. It would not matter that it would be with a different coin that they are currently involved in- if we had something fun and kid friendly, I think most miners/investors would get involved with Piggy in order to get their kids interested in their current crypto hobby/interest/obsession. We would not be selling them on mining or investing... only in the idea of getting their kids involved in crypto through PiggieCoin. It would require something more than a fun logo and faucet graphics. (although those are great by the way!) I am a video producer (with only limited web skills) but would be more than happy to be involved in helping to coordinate something like this, providing concept, research, planning, etc. If there are no other piggy supporters out there with actual web experience that could make this a reality, I would suggest hiring an outside web creator either through your pre-mine Piggy funds, or even asking for donations to fund the project from the Piggy community. If you formalized a plan, maybe we could put a team together with a clear project goal and bounty rewards for everyone involved? VTC has a specific website with marketing projects listed (like kickstarter) so that the community can fund what they choose.
http://vertcoinmarket.com/ I am convinced that community involvement is one of the reasons VTC continues to be a success, remains stable, and has growing credibility within the alt market.
I know this coin is very new and everything takes time to develop... however, I think you have started something with incredible potential and it would be wise continue the momentum. New coins are launching every week, and as of now PiggyCoin seems to be the only alt coin targeting kids/fun- at least that I am aware of. (although another competitor could certainly spring up quickly) There are not many pages in this thread, and what is here so far is pretty much what you see in the majority of any coin: issues with pools, getting on exchanges, and price (or lack of quick gains) All of which is unbelievable to me because your concept here is so much more substantial than 75% of any other new coins that are hitting the market simply as clones, scams, etc. And very little is mentioned about PR, community involvement, ideas for growing the coin, etc. So many crypto people are only interested in something new that will squeeze out as many dollars in a week or two and then moving on. (I try to do the same thing as well- my 2 rigs cost real dollars that I have to justify to my wife!) However, along the way I try to see a bigger picture and get behind ideas (like VTC) that I believe in for the long haul, and not just for a few days. I think Piggy can do that as well! You may already be moving towards some of these goals- but I at least wanted to throw out a few ideas. OK, I will stop preaching to the choir... I'm all oinked out!
