Back on topic anyway...
I'm no techy wizard nor marketing guru but I'm gonna start throwing ideas out there. Feel free to shoot me down but I'm only trying to help...
First up... Tourney within a Tourney
Betting is a precarious pastime, entering crypto is precarious also so we need something to encourage these gamers/spectators something a little different.
Naivity is my strong point lol, but not all my ideas are to throw MIN away, that said this one is, here goes... if we have the budget.. (i'll donate 1kMIN)
This tournament coming up, what say we have a budget of 25k MIN. First 20 people from SC11 community that download wallet and register their address will receive 1000MIN. Go bet! Out of those 20, he/she who is the most successful will win another 5000MIN.
Market this as ''Help us to trial our betting service at no risk to yourself'' ''Increase your watching experience and maybe win some Minerals''
Obviously we would need to sanity check that they are SC11 community people and not crypto's looking for free minerals, but is it that hard to ask for battle net profiles to ensure this? Or something like that.
This could also provide valuable, neutral feedback of the service from the very community we are targetting.
1000 min is a big amount for giving away to people who have till now no interest in Minerals and we are not even sure if they will be interested after the betting. A prize pool for the tourney to pay out 1st, 2nd, 3rd ... and so on will however spice things up. It should be mandatory for all the participants to promote the coin in Twitter, Facebook, et al. to take part in this tournament.
Also MineralsPR has already suggested that the payouts will be converted to USD to help players avoid all the exchange situation. Other gamers will see this after the tourney and will be ready to do streams and tournies for Minerals after this 1st one
OK, maybe not 1000MIN
But you get the idea... 1st 2nd 3rd etc works for me too. I think the key here is the 'no risk' element to begin with. With luck, their experience will be positive and word will spread. Not sure how you could enforce the mandatory promoting on twitter etc but if we can then yep, I'm up for that too
**Maybe Crayon knows 10 people that would like 100 free MIN to bet on tourney?
