what are your thoughts on locking this thread and moving it all to cwi? ... it will happen - but i just want get some feedback before any of it occurs ...
Heh, whats the point of a feedback if the decision is already made regardless?
If you need the CWI thread to grow long, and/or have more activity... then do it. But I think the names and specs of all the coins incorporated, should be clearly put in an easily approachable and visible place.
In general (as you asked for random thoughts
), people mostly check ANN threads, and recognize coin brands (like Granit, Droidz, OzzieCoin), not sure how often they will look into CWI thread. It seems to me the CWI brand is not yet developed to the extend to assimilate those coin brands and get rid of them. I am no specialist in branding and PR, but it seems to me easily recognizable catchy names are preferred to abbreviations...
A related question: is it planned to do some kind of raising awareness campaign for CWI (the old good signature, twitter campaigns)?
the points you have raised are quite valid points ...
deciions have NOT been made and set in concrete - as such ... the decisions are more a directive - that can be changed if need be ... and constructive feedback is ALWAYS important along every step - unless a decision is set in stone ... as with the decision to take on droidz under the cwi-umbrella - that decision is a firm one ... which means for the time being - we will be setting up ( for the very least and the time being ) the seednodes for droidz in a more extensive manner ... ie - more seednodes while correcting the dns in the hardcoded source - which means new wallets with that change ... and a new git that will be covered under the new cwi-ecosystem ... as well as few other areas we need to cover ( such as the yobit issue ) ...
cwi itself is a brand only unto itself - not as a 'coin' per se ...
it IS a business name currently - about to be incorporated later this year in australia ... the business side of chainworks industries ( cwi ) has taken care of that - continues to and will continue to - take care of all that side of cwi ...
as for the marketing - that is something that does need to be looked at in a massive way ... we do NOT have a marketing team - or 'a' marketer - at this stage mate ... this is something we were looking at further downthe track - and as 'tekheds' rather than marketers - we didnt think this was going to be much of an issue in the short term ... but it is fast becoming something that is growing too fast for us to form as a marketing brand / force that we can focus on as technical people ... one very simple idea for me - was to have the cwi 'single-profile logo' for all those that are tied to / affiliated with cwi as an entity ... like the one on the crysx profile i was using before i got this profile back ... of course - all this can be discussed much more in detail on the cwi thread itself ... considering setting up a skype group that we can discuss this all on also ...
as a separate thread for every project we have - that can become quite cumbersome on a management level and indeed and project level as a whole ... there needs to be a better way than a separate thread for every project we take on ... i personally cant do it alone - but i CAN deal with one thread on all matters ... though i have to agree with you - it can become cluttered ... currently on the cwi thread - i head the main posts with a title in bold - when i have a post specific to a project that cwi has ... so far so good - but cluttering is what im concerned about also ...
as for the assimilation or adoption - there is no firm decision there at all ... the droidz 'brand' has been tarred by the reluctance for any ONE dev to stick around and become 'the' dev ... which is why i have placed this coin under cwi ... at least now - there WILL be progress - no matter how slow the progress may be and no matter which dev we have that works on the coin ...
this is all still a work in progress mate ... but your points make sense and are as always beneficial for the growth of not only the coin - but also the entire cwi-ecosystem ...
we will get there ...
...
