Hey guys I have an idea for the Tshirts for the Wall St event.

I think that the idea of the black tshirts is a great thing (Blackcoin, black shirts -- it makes sense). However, I think if we made half of the shirts green, and the other half black we could better convey the greener aspect of the coin, as well as the logo or whatever will be on the black side. Perhaps on the black shirt it would read "Better for Business" and on the green half it would read "Better for the environment". Idk I feel like if we also take a second to put both benefits of the coin (aside from associating it with wealth and etc) and try and capture the sustainability/green movement crowd in the NY area as well.

Thoughts?

Anyone start a Blackcoin page on Instagram yet?  Do we think it's a good idea if I created an account for this?  A few things:

1) Lifestyle images of people using BC Card/coins for everyday payments (IE-Someone giving a BC Card to a cashier at a coffee shop or gas station)
2) Hashtagging #Blackcoin #BC #BCLife
3) BC News Updates
4) Follower growth system utilizing likes, time of day, and more importantly, everything BC
5) No bias or emotional attachment-Just a visionary catapult into social media

I actually have a few ideas for photography.  If members such as Iconic, Troiste, Rat4, feel they need to provide insight/objection at any point in the evolution of this page, we can coordinate.  I would use some of this board's images as well to promote such as the '300' memes/spoofs.  

I think this has huge marketing potential/exposure from a digital standpoint.  

I DIG IT!

BC is about to take off. friday late night is when it will hgappen

I;ve received all the information for the Press Release Re-Release (Lol). I will be compiling it later, busy with class finals atm.

THE LOTTERY, THE WALL STREET PROJECT AND THE FOUNDATION

I have expressed on IRC that the 50% take from the top is abusive and that donations should be voluntary. I won't add to that. Whoever wants to play, up to them, it's just not right. And before anyone comes with the usual "every lottery..." every lottery in the world gives ALL his proceedings to CHARITY projects and
/or EDUCATION. Otherwise they would be illegal schemes to take money from the people. End of that subject.

The Wall Street project: First a couple of corrections to IE: It is "due" respect, not "do" respect; the other is pure semantics: Criticism is not necessarily "negative", like you assume the word means. being critical (as in "critical thinking", means to examine all the possible aspects of a subject and point out the positives and the negatives).

I do not know if the proposed Wall Street project will have short/long term positive effects or negative effects on BC. Or if it will have positive effects on the price of the coin, but negative ones on the brand. Or viceversa. In principle and after careful consideration (and critical thinking), I believe it could do more for good than for bad, but I am far from sure either way. I am quite skeptical of "passionate support" from people that is easily enticed by catering to their greed and appreciate more sober observation (and vision), by those who have a much longer term project for BlackCoin. I repeat: I believe it will be generally positive, but I would understand that others may believe differently. As such, I agree that the "Foundation" would distance itself from it. Clearly. IE doesn't need their support and as his initiative, whatever good or bad will come from it, should not be attached to the image of BlackCoin.

I have locked horns with IE in the recent past and I definitely find his passion endearing ... if generally misguided. I believe a lot others feel the same way. While his enthusiasm as initiatives are many times commendable others are ego-driven and totally ill-guided. I won't point to them one by one but most on this board can recall several of the latest ones. It is good the BC is not associated with those initiatives. It is good that BC distance itself from the ideas -good and bad- of a single supporter. It is good the BC takes the high road of a much wider perspective to keep the main subject in focus: PROTECT THE BRAND.

That said, and after spending considerable time on IRC, I have found that several on this dev team are very, extremely shaky in their ability to steer BC on the right direction and I fear many mistakes are just wanting to happen. I have read, many times, on IRC, that "the pool is not vital" by member os the dev team. I have read direct attacks on educated criticism of some of the initiatives -such as the lottery (mind you not opposed to the lottery, but to the 50% take from the top) and others-, by members of the dev team that not only on occasion act like school patio bullies and hoodlums when confronted with different opinions, but actually threaten those who oppose some of their ideas. And yes, that includes Soepkip and Gritt, among others. It would be quite advisable that they spend less time on IRC, more actually working and that they take into real and deep consideration ideas they initially oppose and examine them before viscerally (or greedily) attacking not only those ideas but the individuals behind them that "annoys" them. A bit more maturity should be desirable.

IE: Good work on the cards, good work on the Wall Street project (I get the purpose, many, amazingly, dont and see it as a schooling project or as a sales event (), but not all your initiatives are or have been positive. Be open to criticism (the good, the bad and the ugly) and above all to accept that sometimes you must just simply be wrong as so many times is the case when passion clouds the mind. And consider that, as often could be the case, there are children -if not total morons- among us.

This here is AWESOME news. Do something useful and SPREAD this news. Get those miners back!

for fucks sake, stop the moaning abd bitching. lets get past this before it damages us to much, we are all in this together. if your not willing to support the cause please feel free to fuck off. seriously i have had enough of this shit.

the foundation do support any initiative that will help bring bc to the masses

For anyone interested

I'm having an auction sale of an BFL Jalapeno on BLKROAD

http://blkroad.com/listing/105-butterfly-labs-bfl-jalapeno-asic-6ghs-bitcoin-miner

Many people are too busy bitching - that's really disappointing. Shameful!

Agree, I think these "Foundation" guys don't have the marketing/business experience and have no idea what they are doing... Seriously, I am very disappointed.

The DEV can have my claps, BlackCoin was really well done and a great coin technically speaking

Desolve the foundation, we don't need one. Ask how that worked out for worldcoin foundation?

For anyone who was mining CryptoAlts US West node, this node was upgraded this morning, so you may need to restart miner if you were on it.

BlackCoin Is Going To Wall Street

This is an outline of what my wife and I have been planning for a few weeks. Please take a few minutes to read.

I have been promising something big in May, and today I have decided to present my project to the community so together we can make it a reality! My wife and I have been working on this project behind the scenes, and it has never been done before in crypto. We want BlackCoin to be the first Cypto Currency to pull it off!

So what is the big idea?

We want to hire 50 attractive women dressed in BlackCoin T-Shirts, and for 2 hours these women will converge on Wall Street and hand out Wall Street Edition BlackCoin cards and sell sheets describing BlackCoin.

Everything I have asked this community to do has lead us to this moment and now it is time to explain my master plan.

1. I rallied this community together to fund the press release projects so we can introduce the BlackCoin brand to mainstream media outlets, and at the same time learn how to focus our energy towards a single objective.

2. I created the BlackCoin card because I knew in the future we needed something "physical" to allow people to touch and feel. It is hard to get people to believe in something that only exists virtually. The cards are loaded with software that will make it easy to buy, manage, and trade BlackCoins.

3. I rallied this community to contact strategic companies like Vault Of Satoshi because I knew for us to succeed we needed a direct Fiat to BC service here in North America.

4. Now that step 1 -3 has been accomplished,  everything is in place for the main event.

What will the main event accomplish?

This plan is to kill 3 birds with one stone.

a. The cards and sell sheets will introduce new investors to BC. Although Wall Street is the location we do not care if "whales" on Wall Street invests in BC or not. Wall Street is just the backdrop. We want BC to be associated with wealth!

b. We will attract the attention of mainstream media. Not everyday 50 beautiful women dressed alike converge on Wall Street. The event will be covered by local and international media outlets. My wife will be calling media outlets the day before and during the event.

c. We will be making crypto history and we will show the rest of the crypto community how determined we are to make BlackCoin #1.

What is needed to make this a success?

Casting studio rental for day (Cast girls for rvent)
50 Girls for 2 hours
50 T-Shirts
Water For Girls
1000 Cards + Retail Packaging
1000 Sell Sheets
Misc expenses: transportation..snacks...etc..etc

Total budget: $9540
Approximately 73,000 BC at the current exchange rate.


Note: I am not profiting off the cards we get made for this event, these will be community made cards at the wholesale factory price. I set 1000 cards as the minimum, but if we can raise more than $9540 I will get as many cards made as the donations allow.

Note: If we can raise $12,000 or more I will be able to hire a professional camera crew to follow the girls around. We can use that video to plaster all over the web and go viral!

This community has wanted something huge and I strongly believe this is what we need. Our recent partnerships with various companies have been great to make BC stronger, but it has done very little to get the  "BlackCoin brand out to the mainstream. We can have all the partnerships in the world, but if no one knows about us then partnerships mean very little. I think this event will give us the most ROI, and this will be the tipping point for BlackCoin.

To make this happen we need to raise the money by May 17th, and my wife and  I would like to do the event either the 29th or the 30th of May. If you have any questions please feel free to ask, and all comments and suggestions are welcome since it will take this entire community to make this happen.

Also does everyone know that the multipool is back to number 1 profitability???

Just an idea that came through my mind... if anyone here is into marketing/PR the UK... There's a huge coffee chain called "Caffe Nero" (essentially broadly comparable to Starbucks). For the non-Italian speakers that means "Black Coffee"  

How cool would it be for blackcoin to have a partnership with these guys? "Get your black coffee with BlackCoin". LoL. Anyway, just food (and coffee) for thought.  

Have to agree, development team knows the technical stuff, but not marketing. You can have best product out there but not marketed right you'll lose. This stage of game it's 95% marketing, and I'm 100% like this idea. Why you guys officially are making statements as not being involved makes me really step back and wonder what your plans are? I think you guys are very good at what you do, but your not businessmen. We need someone like Iconic to promote for us, and quite honestly he's created lot of buzz. The pump was one thing, but least he's doing something here on his own time. I understand nobody will ever see eye to eye on all issues, but to make a public statement of not endorsing this, honestly pisses me off. You'd been better not saying anything if that's the case, then if it went bad you could then remove yourselfs as not being involved. But you already said your not, so now you create some people wondering what's the goal, why is community split on this.

I believe in this coin and community so far, but from now on I think if someone does something with marketing, best to not say anything than not support it vocally. I think you guys should reconsider. Besides, the multipool of other coins is getting more popular, yet we have not had any great writeup on all the news we have. Iconic is right, when news hits, it's a must to get it published, your losing free hype.

Well, I just hope foundation reconsiders not supporting this wall st marketing. Marketing is 95% of this, so consider than when your do stuff for this coin, 5% of your efforts will be noticed, and 95% of them nobody will ever notice unless you market this coin.
