Why would vertoe take over this coin? looking at the OP is is the dullest coin I have seen in a long while.
Why wouldn't vertoe start his own coin rather than resusitating somebody else's?
100% agree. Maybe he didn't want competition in acquiring coins through mining a new coin so went with the dead coin resuscitation route.
Sorry folks, but what vertoe is doing here is no different from a Dev launching a coin with a massive premine... And y'all are eating it up.
I respect vertoe as a Dev and would throw massive amounts of btc his way if he started a new coin but I'm not touching this piece of crap deadcoin revival PnD.

Retraction: after examining the date of the github uploads by vertoe and the initial volume that occurred in CACH, it actually looks like Vertoe really
did not load the boat BEFORE going to the code..which would have been a big red flag.
Furthermore, it looks like vertoe might be testing some cool things here soon: 'TOR test'? (
https://github.com/vertoe/cachecoin/pull/2) and some basic improvements (
https://github.com/vertoe/cachecoin/pull/1).
Volume and price-wise there is a nice base here in the 15k sat range which should provide good support for the next move up on whatever news Vertoe's got drummed up here.

Thanks for looking deeper. Indeed I first looked at the code before deciding I take this challenge. Otherwise it would be insane. The current client is totally useless.
I've decided to drop working on this three years old piece of software which was based on bitcoin-0.7 and a novacoin fork from 2012. The challenge is to update a more recent codebase and add up the cachecoin features without causing forks. During the weekend I compiled a team of volunteers who helped me setting up infrastructure. A new website is be set up at
http://cach.co/ - it currently only contains placeholder texts but I will write something up to make up the official representastion.
The explorer is located at
http://explorer.cach.co/ and it also contains a rich list and everything you need to view stats of the blockchain.
The current client is trying to find nodes through IRC which is completely broken and will be replaced by a modern seednode in the new client. A minimal API is provided at
http://cach.co/api/ where you can find addnodes if you need some and a basic getinfo stats json output. If you need this for your own tools/stats, feel free to use it. Coinmarketcap is using this.
To follow my development, use the 0.10 branch on github.
https://github.com/vertoe/cachecoin/tree/0.10A list of working pools is here:
MPOS:
http://cach.catcoin.cz/MPOS:
https://cache.suprnova.cc/P2Pool:
http://mehrangarh.cach.co:8336/P2Pool:
http://windsor.cach.co:8336/P2Pool:
http://cach.happymining.de:8336/That said, P2Pool currently only produces orphaned blocks. We are currently looking into the logs why. Anyways, try spreading the hashpower and donate some hashes to supernova. If you want to help with debugging the p2pool put some hashes on the following nodes:
P2Pool:
http://cach.happymining.de:8336/P2Pool:
http://46.101.173.108:8336/ (DEBUG)
You will notice there is a lot to do before you even can start working on the code. But stay tuned, I will release a roadmap if possible on wednesday. If some native english speaker wants to help me writing up texts for the website, get in touch with me.
