Yes we would like to instigate a timeline that shows past achievements and upcoming milestones.
Marketing/Promotion is not something the team excels in (as you may of noticed) although we try our hardest and because of this we are looking for keen, passionate folk to take up these roles within the team.
EDIT: timeline.sterlingcoin.org.uk will begin once the forum has launched.
Have not been very active here recently - seem to of spent most of the last few weeks feeding plastic cards through a printer !
Anyway, I'd be keen to help with marketing and/or promotion in some capacity.
I think a lot of progress could be made by linking everything together. I'd be happy to get a starter point-of-sales pack of Sterlingcoin Standard Edition crypto cards out to all existing merchants, when we start production. Being able to pick-up the equivalent of a Sterlingcoin 'Top-up' voucher from an existing Sterlingcoin accepting merchant could be a good start. The intangible nature of crypto currency is perhaps its biggest flaw for easy mass adoption.
The cryptocards.link website (when I get around to creating the site) will provide a way to easily buy these Sterlingcoin Standard Edition - gift cards / cold storage cards.
Furthermore, the crowd funding project has highlighted that a service to produce cards for customers existing wallet addresses (without the private key) would be useful, both for personal use and also from a small retailers perspective. I'm therefore looking to offer this as a website service and also a 2-card pack i.e. one card with the private key and the other one with just the wallet address and QR code, thus allowing for easily receiving payments via another user with a smart phone / app. etc. A retailer can easily keep this type of card in the till for the occasional customer looking to pay with Sterlingcoin, its also convenient to hold one in your wallet to accept payments with perhaps.
Sterlingcoin can easily build up a strong brand identity, even more so than lots of other crypto currencies, their is a lot of potential for growth here.
A written letter containing a sample Sterlingcoin crypto currency card, being sent to potential point-of-sale retailers could also be an excellent way forward. I'm thinking niche market gift shops, small independent jewellery and silver shops would be good for starters. I'll probably try a sample mail out in the new year - including some retailers in British Territories such as Gibraltar, Guernsey, Jersey and the Isle of Man which could make for an interesting test sample to gauge response as they are very familiar with Pound 'Sterling'. I also have a mailing list of international silver / coin collectors which would probably be worth sending a card to with an introductory letter.
Any feed back or thoughts on this ?
