1. I think DRK needs to go after the online porn industry. Right now from what I recall only a handful of sites accept bitcoin payment the majority or the very large ones are reluctant to solely due to how long it takes to confirm a bitcoin transaction. From what I last read sites that did start accepting bitcoin found their revenue increase up to nearly 100 fold. The very large sites are using embarrassingly transparent methods of payment, CC, telephone, wire transfer etc. DRK marketing needs to contact the main players and demonstrate to them how there is no risk to them with immediate confirmation and how it can increase their customers who are wary of even EPOCH or whatever showing up on their CC bill.
2. Which leads me to this: DRK needs to focus on marketing the instant transaction aspect of the coin to mass media. It is all well and good discussing the technicalities of the coin with technical blogs and crypto news sites. The masses are not interested in that, it goes over their heads and is meaningless. You need to set about demonstrating a) how fast the transactions are and b) how anonymous it is and what it means; all in layman terms. To both the masses and online merchants. Technical mumbo jumb is just that.
I particularly agree with #2. Future marketing efforts should focus on mainstream targets, time and money spent on crptognats is completely wasted.
Every time I think it's time to start a big marketing push Evan comes up with the next innovation and I want to wait until the innovation is ready, until then, lets keep growing organically.
Two big innovations on the horizon I would wait for the big push, Instant(Tx) and dynamic MN rewards.
Instant(Tx) means DRK can become an enterprise grade financial platform (makes me smile and stare off into the distance all glassy eyed) and Dynamic MN rewords is like a Dark Gravity Well for the MN reward system, a self healing reward system.
You're seeing the benefits of having a lead developer that comes from a financial background, it's the perfect blend of technology and economics, I'm sorry for being rude but this shit gives me a semi...
LOL.
). Put it this way - if we're in this to hedge ourselves against a 300 trillion derivatives crash then you'd think they might be as well since they're the ones writing the derivatives).
