Fedoracoin by itself is as good as a lot of other coins, better than many. I started to buy a lot of them but two things have put me off.
1) The anonymity feature is hyped a lot but does not seem functional. It sort of looks like the articles pushing fedora on that feature are sort of like infomercials, which brings me to the real problem.
2) Some coins have an authentic community. People like the coins, talk about them etc. But with fedoracoin there seems to be pressure put on people to hype the coin. "You made such and such post so you are eligible for a prize". It's the kind of phony hype you see when a twenty year old gets promoted to a major marketing position.
I'll keep watching fedoracoin and may buy back in if it starts to go in a more mature direction, but for now I'm bailing.
Just my 2 cents trying to offer constructive criticism.
And we thank you for your constructive criticism.
As one of your statement is obviously directed to me, let me answer you the best that I could.
The Gridseed giveaway is, like its name shows, a giveaway for Gridseed miners launched by TiPS4tat on Reddit. The point behind that was double: 1) to encourage people to participate and trying to reboost a slightly sleepy community life (because as you said, an authentic community is the backbone of all altcoins) and 2) to contribute to the existing community life by giving people involved in Fedoracoin a chance to win something, mostly because it's fun.
I'm really sorry if you think it's encouraging people to fake activity. That was one of the problem we discussed before we launched the giveaway. But we made the admission conditions sufficiently wide to include everybody who made a post which contribute to the community life, whether it's by an informative or creative work.
If I had to do a little feedback on that specific operation, I'll say that it worked properly. New posts made by new and old contributors here on BTC, and also on Reddit. And a Twitter account gently rising.
I hope the level of activity will keep going up in order to make Fedoracoin more and more famous. Because as someone said here a few days back, TiPS is really an unsung hero
But we are widely open to any suggestions, especially for marketing.
P.s: Taking the risk of bothering you, your post made you eligible to win a Gridseed miner
