Dear CAT supporters and the Board of Directors ( sorry can't find the post where it was announced who belongs into it, but I remember
Slimepuppy, Maverickthenoob, Zerodrama, Hozer, and Etblvu1 not sure if he was asked to leave or still in... )
Your work on proposing, discussing and programming the fork, wallet etc. is highly appreciated and the true CAT supporters are wishing much success with that and hoping things will calm down after fork, and the journey to Mars can start.
I would like to also mention, that there have been multiple other vivid supporters and enthusiasts who pushed various initiatives which helped the coin sofar, and some of them stayed with the CAT through the tough times and will continue to do so. In the first weeks it takes time for all of us to find out whom to trust, who can add what to the table a.s.o. And naturally, people tend to like their own ideas and don't necessarily jump on implementing ideas suggested by others, especially if work, thought and effort is involved. So we end up with multiple good, but often uncoordinated, initiatives by various people or teams, which now would need to get synchronised.
So for the moment being we have a situation, where the information sources on CAT neither get constantly updated nor syncronised. I am not sure how to find out if there is communication going between Such as
- OP
- multiple Facebook pages (facebook.com/CatcoinOfficial vs. /Catcoins vs. /pages/Catcoin/247479085412099)
- catcoinforum
- reddit
- twitter
- websites (catcoin.biz / org)
- pool websites etc. etc.
We also have multiple people proposing improved CATcoin design -> is that desired? to whom actually they propose? who votes or decides which is the best proposal?
We also had experience in recent weeks where community was scared by some dominating persons and offensive argumentation on this thread. However, without people taking responsibility to lead the community effort, such effort becomes ineffective. This coin can only become successful if backed by growing and vivid community. I may be wrong, but I can't imagine CAT succeed if this is a solo project of some cool business boss or even if dominated by a team of ego-driven people. So in my view, we could only win if leaders whom community trusts, in terms of integrity, skill, dedication, influence and communication, start to emerge. And if those leading members also get along with each other constructively.
I fully understand and respect that dev team on IRC channel recently primarily focused on tech solution, and you informed us that there are some other initiatives, social, lawyers etc. taking place. Apologies I never used IRC before, and I don't quite know if the participation there was by invitation. However, we probably can't expect to coordinate and inform the community via IRC, and there should be some coordinated representation of the coin to the new adopters, interested investors, volunteers, miners etc.
So may I post a question /proposal here. Which channel can be used for the ongoing communication between the Board of Directors and the community? this doesn't yet work efficiently on any of the channels known to me, and should be established. Such a channel would contain the updated information who is on the Board (and who and how can apply to be on the board), and who is responsible for which parts of the CATcoin project, in terms of coordination and delegation. It should also be clear which projects are currently running and who is doing them. (E.g. Kisa2005 is trying to reach out to Chinese forum, so if someone else is doing similar thing, some tasks could be split, coordination can be achieved, unnecessary repetition should be avoided, or maybe someone would warn Kisa to wait with that project etc.). Other coins have managed to arrange that, websites where volunteers can apply listing their skills etc. It is important that there is one master source of most relevant updated information, which is then accessible for people working on promoting the coin, so that they can update their sell push based on reliable and updated status.
I would suggest a viable candidate and true CAT supporter who could take on the task of synchronizing the information and updates between various media. Is the dev team /board open to consider this? Would community agree that such coordination is crucial and necessary?
Apologies to everyone for my post being somewhat unstructured at this moment, but I hope that this offers at least some food for thought in the hope of constructive discussin. And please noone should see here criticism of someone's actions, this is not intended as a critique, but as question how to move forward.
May the CAT be with the Board and all supporters!

DOGE market cap $63m, CAT could become comparable or even a stonger coin, the current market cap only $300K. Someone taking notice?
