I'd throw down 100 XBC to get 1000 votes on MP. I've been voting my a$$ off. Like 16 votes a day, and once when I take a leak in the middle of the night, since it was listed on MP. Part of the issue is that we have so little coin holders, so we get so little votes. Imagine a coin with 1 Billion coins, there is an opportunity to have a sh!t load of coin holders to move the coin up the chain. The community is awesome still, and the reason I'm still buying more XBC (1500+).
So how do i throw down 100 XBC to get 1000 votes?
Nice... knew there had to be some XBC whales still swimming out there.
What I'd first suggest is looking at giveaway forums.
Here is one example:
http://altcoingiveaways.com/index.php?board=4.0You can also contact cryptosandwich about doing a giveaway --
http://www.cryptosandwich.com/Then you can either go the every 100 vote route and set it up like a contest, or just go with something like .1 XBC per confirmed vote. Going for 1000 votes would be time consuming on your part that way, however. It's also possible for you to do a bit of both if you want. Like have one giveaway for several hundred votes at .1 XBC per vote. And offer another one as a contest. Mention the cap in the forum just so folks know when the XBC will run out.
It's a great way to both get votes + extra promotion for the coin. If a couple of other whales join in, votes should shoot up nicely. Basically at this point we should look at keeping the coin in the #4-#5 area, as other coins are sneaking up... but XBC will move up automatically one spot each week as other coins get added. So it can still move up over time just by maintaining a decent pace.
