wow! the only surviving kitten returns to me! guess i must be doing something right, then...
My suggestions to improve the token are the obvious ones (at least, to me they are):
first, improve the value of the upvote. ok, i agree, this is easier said than done, but very important.
at the time of writing this, i hold 18 cats and have already sent another 17 kittens to @catsmakekittens for trading in. i do something like 1 post a day. i receive 1 upvote on that post from @catscientist with about 40% vote value, which is worth a little over 10 neoxag. i get half of that (about 5) because of curation rewards split. if i sell them instantly, i get about 0,15 steem back for my investment, which will take me about 1333 days to break even (a little over 3 1/2 years). this might seem like a good deal, because i end up with something like 27% roi per year, but actually, i do not think so. with the current market development and the inherent inflation on steem, who knows what 200 steem will be worth in 3 years... (probably not that much)
i suggest you delegate some of the other coins you hold in other accounts (mentioned here: https://steempeak.com/neoxian/@catscientist/re-catsmakekittens-pxf7lk ) to the voting bot so the vote gets more value instantly.
more voting value = more value to the corresponding token (actually pretty simple, right ;p )
second suggestion is: create some demand for either CATS or KITTENS. currently, there is no use for the tokens other than trading kittens for cats and hodling cats to get more kittens and get upvotes from the bot. in your initial post (https://steempeak.com/neoxian/@catsmakekittens/cats-make-kittens-independence-day) you mention that kittens will be worth (roughly) 1 steem. if i go to the market on steem engine, 1 kitten is sold at 0,12 steem per kitten, which equals to more than 85% value decrease. i can go to steem engine and buy all the kittens offered for a total of 25,21 steem, which gives me 239 kittens at the time of writing this. i do not wanna be offensive here, neither do i want to talk bad about your project. if i would not be a believer, i would not have invested in this, but you can see where i am going with this, right?
so my conclusion is: give the upvote-bot more steem power, delegate some of the other coins you have for added value and power up the bot like sh*t. if i get 1 upvote from the bot and it would be worth somethimg like 5 steem and i would get some other coins as well (depending on the post upvoted and the corresponding tribe, of course..), i would happily spent 200 steem on just 1 CATS. for now, i am just chilling, i upvote every post from @catsmakekittens and i always upvote the reply to my post from @catscientist to add more value to both accounts, but this might take a while...
ok, this might be the most extensive reply i ever did on a post, but it does not directly include ideas for promotion... my bad ;p
