There was someone announcing forming of PR team a while ago. I wonder if its still on going?
After Wulfcastle's offer to help out with PR (see
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.9684608), I made a post about some ideas of a PR management team (see
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.9687064).
It surely wasn't an announcement. I tried to describe how it's possible to think about PR. As Burst matures, I hope more and more community members understands the significance of PR. In our case, it means that:
1) PR initiatives have to come from the community and that we can do a lot to promote Burst;
2) PR work is just an another way to increase your stake in Burst, as wider adaptation will lead to a high price; and
3) Certain PR efforts can't be done freely by the community members but will require funding (e.g, Wulf's example withe hiring an actor for a voice-over to a promo video), and since Burst wasn't premined nor an IPO, the required funding has to come from the community. Participating in crowd-funding to get a certain PR activity done or donating to a devs-fund is also a way to increase the value of your investment.
The posts from us received some positive feedback but not a lot. I think we need to start thinking differently in the Burst community. Burst will not become a prime crypto solely by dev's technological innovation, but it will need a lot of community support.
Although the reactions weren't overwhelming to Wulf's suggestions or my idea of forming a PR management team, it at least led to discussions among a few members. What that will turn out to be is too early too say; however:
The most important is that the investors and miners start asking themselves what competences, qualities, knowledge and even funds they have/can offer to collectively promote Burst. Only then can Burst become a major actor. So try to think a bit in this way:
What can you contribute with to support Burst?
