John of the Vindyne Group Promotions has started tweeting some EverGreenCoin tweets tonight. The actual promotion and the clock on our one month of promotion will start January 5th.
Please follow
@vindye8 on twitter and retweet and like his, what I am sure will be many, EverGreenCoin tweets over the month.
Again, many thanks to all who contributed through the crowdfunding on our website to make this possible.
Lets see how much of an impact this has - fingers crossed it'll get us much more exposure. Unfortunately, I don't have a twitter account.
We in the slack/IRC have collected metrics that we feel will serve as good measures to gauge the success of this promotion.
Metrics being:
100K EGC "right now" is worth 1139.89 * 100000 * 0.00001454 = 1657.4 (~3 hours ago)
80 - 300 organic hits to the website per day (already having 50 hits since the first @vindyne8 tweet, ~3 hours ago)
Twitter @EverGreenCoin_ followers = 2356
Max peers observed at one time and at one node = 73
EDIT: forgot to mention, 35 registered users on the website prior to the start of the promotion.
Well, let's see how effective that is. I am quite sceptical about such promotions, but maybe I am wrong.
I will help with retweeting, let's see at the end of the month where EGC is.
One extremely important factor to take into account is the BTC price that was at the absolute top (EGC price of 1454 sat is one of the lowest levels in the last three months at least), when the social media campaign started.
Yes, the yardstick was elongated while the unit being measured was contacted. I certainly hope that the ending comparison is so glaring that, even with double skewing of the price measure, supporters of this promotion will be very happy with their investments that made it possible.
I do understand your skepticism. I have received some private feedback that such paid promotions (aka hype) are best for pump and dump strategies. EverGreenCoin being, or wanting to do with, nothing of the sort. While I know wholeheartedly pump and dump coins use similar promotions, perhaps even this same promotion vehicle, I feel the EverGreenCoin ecosystem is mature enough to gain new sets of eyes and, more importantly, more hands and minds. I do feel confident there are many like-minded individuals in the green industry, perhaps some already with a bad taste in their mouths from crypto, that will be not only willing to adopt EverGreenCoin, but also contribute when they see we have a long-standing community and an established record of being an honest project.
The growth of our base is the target. A price increase will be collateral damage from us hitting that target. The growth of our base will not only be more easily observed by some of the more consistent measurements to be taken but, will help sustain any price growth that may come from the hype. Also, I do feel our 'infrastructure' of the new website and the support ticket system are ready to facilitate some major growth of both price and user base, green merchants included.
I do thank you for your support by retweeting, uki. I ask all the community to please try and find some time to do likewise. This will help us maximize the investment. Not only am I too retweeting of course, I am making what I hope are opportunely timed tweets at @Poloniex, having never lost sight of that goal. Maybe the present hype-level will help gain their favorable consideration.
Again, I thank all who donated through the crowdfunding on the new website to make the Vindyne Group promotion possible. Your investment is not only greatly appreciated, but being leveraged as hard as possible.
