I can not be the only one who thinks this is absolutely NOT ACCEPTABLE... This is Guerrilla warfare by ZEC and it must be removed as new investors get lured to the ZEC reddit page this way, away from Zcoin...
Please Dev, get your act together with this coin and get serious on the Marketing side.....
That's how reddit works though, we also place ads on /r/ZEC to get traffic to our sub. As far as I know, there is no way to prevent ads on your subreddit and it's also against their rules.
I didn't know that, thanks for explaining. Nonetheless it's obviously not good to have your main competitor rank on top with advertisements...It's like Nike advertising their shoes on the Adidas homepage...
The least that can be done in such a situation is counter it immediately with a post explaining how Zcoin is much better than Zcash...
I have seen Zcoin rise amazingly and am happy that i invested in this coin; i believe in its success... But I also see a lack of winners mentality online, exuded by the Zcoin community... Lets become more aggressive and annex the online discussion more than just rather let the coin grow on exchange trading basis...
Zcash is the Nemesis of Zcoin, the arch enemy... so lets start treating it that way.. Either you want this coin to become a Billion dollar coin, or not... in my opinion... Zcash has much to be criticized for so lets give em hell... Thats how you win in a market, not just on tech and hope for gradual mass adoption.. We can learn from DASH for instance... Whatever you think of DASH, they put a great successful effort in Marketing and have a continuous online presence on social media, youtube etc etc... It has clearly worked for them as the price of dash went from 30 to 115 as soon as they started owning the online debating arena....
Go on fiverr, get some animators and start pumping out amazing vids on how Zcoin will be the best of the best... market and growth projections, growth so far.. heck even advertise the possibility of a full force flippening with bitcoin... Get on it, it will catapult this coin, or pay me and i will do it for you...
Now the tech is greatly up to level and becoming even better, lets also focus more on awareness and attracting more investors through online marketing.
