Off the top of my head:
- Have this thread locked to all but eduffield and internetape, because it's basically a goatfuck at this point.
- Move all conversation to darkcointalk forums.
- Stop putting every little thing to a community vote. Consider community input carefully, but lead.
- Recruit "inner circle" to float ideas past before they're presented to the community. Off the cuff comments or ideas from devs or anyone even loosely associated with the devs MUST be carefully vetted before going public from here on out.
- Contain official discussion pertaining "marketing and branding" either to a closed or heavily moderated thread on darkcointalk. Stop discussing these things in public until they're better refined and thought out. Too many cooks in the kitchen - good intentions all, but very few who know what they're talking about.
- Contain official discussion pertaining to major changes to the coin or anything tertiary (eg foundation, bounties) to a closed thread on darkcointalk. Present ideas to the community only after thorough vetting. Stop discussing these things in public until they're better refined and thought out.
- Designate or recruit specific individuals for specific tasks - stop crowd sourcing. Nice idea in principle, chaos in practice.
- Three different types of information campaigning: white (we claim responsibility), gray (responsibility is ambiguous), black (make it appear as though someone else is responsible). Each of these can be put to extensive use for this coin. Leave it to your imagination, but this is one reason marketing must be a closed discussion.
- Identify target audiences, tailor marketing for each, create products, vet, disseminate.
- Stop kidding yourselves about how this coin will be used. Without condoning or condemning, engage all potential target audiences. Tailor marketing accordingly.
- Stop entertaining new ideas in regards to logos and branding. The decision has been made. Own it. Get it off the goddamn table as the foremost topic of discussion.
I'd say you got the job!
