Hi guys,
I've been mining this coin for about a week now and find the whole idea behind it very promising. I've been dealing with BTC for quite some time now (about 1,5 years I'd say) but never mined or had the feeling to really join the community up to this point. So you really got me with this
First of all thank you to all the devs for the great work you are doing here. Keep it comming!
Next I'd like to share some thoughts about marketing. Every time I start talking about BTC or cryptos in general 90 % of the people haven't even heard of it (and I'm studying at a university which has it's focus on life sciences - informatics/biotech/engineering). The other 10 % pretty much only know the bad press. I only know two!!! people who really know whats going on. One of them only because I didn't stop bothering him with the topic. Last night I also made the experience that things posted on Facebook only catch attention when people already know what kind of info they will get. Not even my girlfriend opened the link to Thunderclap. Digital currency and a foundation? No offense but who is gonna click and read that? It's a bit like those people downtown trying to get you to sign some paper to rescue whales, penguins...etc. Very most people just pass by without even looking at them and only some few old ladies and shy people don't dare to say no and give their signature in the end. On the internet it's even easier to not even look at it. You don't even have to say no. I guess you know what I mean.
So how can we get lots of peoples attention in a more trustworthy environment than facebook or the internet in general? I think a good start would be to hang out flyers/posters at public places like universities. I could for instance start doing that in Hamburg/Germany. It's cheap and reaches lots of rather interested people. A short but meaningful text, a link to the homepage/facebook and maybe even a giveaway of small amounts of coins to people who register. Maybe it's also smart not to even mention BTC. Most of the people don't know them and the ones who know them associate rather dark/bad things with them. Such text should be really well thought about and discussed. It has to catch the attention of interested but absolutely clueless people. We could use eyecatching stuff in headlines like the recent proof of the big bang. Everybody loves topics like this at universities.
Another thing would be stickers without any explanation at all. Just something like "Einsteinium, the scientific currency. Google it!" would catch at least my attention. People are bored with their smart phones while waiting at the subway or bus or whatever and they would welcome such an opportunity to kill some time.
What do you think? I'd like to discuss the ideas, maybe get some nice words together and then spread them whereever we can. Everybody has some high school or university around with a black board (thats how we call it in Germany^^) that can be used for free for pretty much anything. And what's on this black boards has (thats at least what I believe) much more value than any post on facebook.
I apologize if somebody already came up with this. I didn't read the complete thread
Määänsch
But at least it is filling the campaign. This means, once we hit the goal, we should still be trying to get as many people as possible to get a wide social reach!
