barabbas red remarks


I want to thank you for the feedback / criticism provided.

To answer some of your concerns:

Solid marketing plan: Regardless of how good a product or service is, in order to reach millions of people who might not know what such product is, we must market it. There are various ways, word to mouth, public awareness, guerrilla tactic campaigns as you previously mentioned via VRC day, which I  stated i love the idea and would support it. ( wish we could really set some time to discuss a strategy, what to do that day, what other promotional materials we can include and flesh the ideas it is not something you can just pull off with 2 weeks time, we are talking about a global movement) * best idea you ever had btw.

Promotional Video Put yourself in the shoes of someone who has never heard of crypto. Then mention VRC coin or whatever. They will have a strange look. Now imagine if you hand them a flyer say a white paper filled with Technobabble. it will just confuse them even more. Now imagine a simple, clear, practical video, could be short say 30 seconds as it needs to translated into ads as well. Think Apple, Google have a look at their videos. It is very lifestyle driven, ie how can i use this product, what is it, what can it do for me and my family overseas.. oh i can send them money, etc.

Contrary to what you may think, most people online do not love to read long paragraphs, I will do my best to keep this short Smiley The video link you provided would not work for this demographic. It is too flashy, over the top, Vegas etc.

Realistic goals Some technical features need to be updated in the current coin. New flat UI, to create a modern look etc. Notice what took place here past few days, instead of giving an exact date, it might be best to set a realistic timeline ie Q3 of this year, then when closer to such date and you know everything has been finalized we can promote whatever it is. I am sure the devs have other things going in their lives as well, This will lessen the stress and they have stated how they will go forward from this and apologized for any delays.

Updated Brand look The original VRC logo concept was not my idea. The idea is solid to combine the % aspect with the V. My task: New updated feel, with a modern geometric Bold typeface, made sure everything was aligned, Flat solid colors vs the gradient from previous. I will request that the devs publish the brand book I created, you can judge for yourself my thought process, from typography, color palette, when / where to use. Do's and Don't practical usage of this. I am responsible for the new VRC website design you see as well.  Since it is modular, it can always be updated. Batman vs Superman ? mmm I prefer Iron Man or Silver Surfer the comics that is Smiley

Work as a team / Community / news I had to combine these, respect is part of it. All it takes is some insult and this thread gets derailed. Important info, updates get lost. Hence the suggested blog updates. As for Video hang out, having a public image creates a positive message. These guys are real people. Not some random screenmame creating some fly by night coin. In this sea of hundreds of scam coins, Trust is everything. As a community we must do our part too. I know you wanted to promote the coin, view above. Others are starting too.

Ideas Nothing wrong with adding and sharing ideas. Everything begins with an idea. As long as we can share them in a positive respectful manner. We all want the same thing. We want this coin to succeed.

So thank you for your feedback.

Looks like today is going to be good day to buy. Looking to pick up some VRC today. Delay in announcement is a positive for me. Tells me to buy more before a price hike. I use the C.A.T. bot which just stock piles VRC for me all day on different exchanges.

Huh C.A.T. Bot   Huh?

please educate me on this

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/bot-cat-cryptocurrency-automatic-trader-new-price-list-042021-507103

Get tool once mastered. I set a timer and a profit margin along with a few other settings. It gains me vrc through out the day. I try to use 3,000 vericoins on different exchanges and move the profits to wallet to maintain 3,000. I trade a bunch of other coins also. Basically anything that is hot. Other coins I go for BTC instead of coins. Drk, Cloak, Sys are hot traders for btc profit.

I need to study on this. First question would be Who is "Sampey"?

I would be concerned about loading any "Bot" onto my compter due to security issues and the "Wild Wild West" nature of the Digital Currency universe at present.

Stuff ..

Sorry you don't like the whole mass adoption theme. That was something we stated as a theme (and we aren't going to quit our goals there) from the get-go. And that's also why our first features were VeriSMS and VeriBit. Because they make things easier for others.

...

We don't want VeriCoin to be an "altcoin" but rather VeriCoin-- a coin people don't relate to altcoins because it's bigger than that.

Ambitious plan - there are two issues with that

1) You and your supporters have no idea how the worldwide mass adoption will be achieved as well as why would anyone pay with vericoin instead of the well established BTC? You directly compete with BTC when you push your worldwide mass adoption theme and that makes the worldwide mass adoption theme an unsustainable business plan. Therefore, the market doesn't like your worldwide mass adoption theme. Every rational person knows you are unable to compete with BTC on the worldwide mass adoption front. Despite the billion dollars VC investment for BTC infrastructure/utility projects even BTC struggle to educate and convince the mass public to use crypto currencies. What makes you think that you can make a revolution and convince the mass public to use a) crypto currencies  b) use vericoin instead of BTC?  You can't, it is a delusion and fantasy.

2) Your worldwide mass adoption theme is outdated. Yes, it made sense to go with this theme in March/April when you started your coin, it seemed at the time that Litecoin and many other BTC clones can co-exist with BTC, but the events of this summer made clear that all BTC clone altcoins will disappear, except those few blockchain 2 enabled coins. The market spoke this summer about all BTC/LTC clones like VeriCoin. Investors and the community (except your maximum 20 men strong hurrah brigade) are not interested in your worldwide mass adoption theme. Investors don't want to touch your coin, because it's clear you can't achieve mass adoption for vericoin. Instead of investors are interested in blockchain 2 platforms which address the shortcoming of BTC, provide users with more features and do more than BTC does.

If you stick to your worldwide mass adoption theme, you will have the tackle the same issue again and again: VeriCoin is nothing else but one of the 300 BTC clones, there is no unique selling point for vericoin. Just like yourself, we investors thought your CV and academic background will be the unique selling point for VeriCoin, but clearly it's not enough, the well played transparency card doesn't make vericoin an attractive investment opportunity. Having said that, Barrabas could be right again by saying that your only chance is to play the "Good guys" card, it is an option to build on how you handled the mintpal hack.

In my opinion, better to start working because you didn't deliver a thing in the last 8 weeks. To turn around this ship you could try start working on a blockhcain 2 platform by addressing one specific area that you are comfortable with such as decentralized exchange, marketplace or crowd funding and do better that one area than ethereum, viacoin, cloak, etc. Then vericoin would have an actual use case and it would be more than one of the 300 BTC/LTC clones. I have to admit you have little chance to succeed with that blockchain 2 theme, but it is still significantly more than the zero chance of the delusional worldwide mass adoption theme.

@ Sdmathis - Enough quoting



Id like to Quote u and Add @everyone stop filling up the thread with half page quote baby poop fights please.
If u got a Question or something usefull to say Great, but the your a child no you are! discussions  fill up page after page.
This thread would be less then 5% of its size if you just leave the Usefull stuff in for the people that actually care about vericoin and want some more information.
Any chance someone on the vericoin team can make a Seperate Moderated thread that only team members post on? call it the Fanboy thread for all i care ill read that instead of pages and pages of this shit.
I know my grammar and punctuation isnt up to your high standards but please resist the urge to requote this into the same shit im complaining about.


+1000

I just can't imagine how many people are being put off VRC because of these insulting and childish posts. For god's sake, give it a rest. Use the ignore feature and believe in what you believe.

@ drkman - I would like to hear an endorsement from the devs on this. Sink or swim at the end of the day this is there baby. My opinion which means absolutely nothing is adding another dev still means nothing is guarantee price goes up. Even if it was Satoshi himself. To date I haven't seen a coin show up with the stuff Vericoin has. Like I said my opinion and would love to hear from the devs on there thought.

@barabbas - why are u so mad bro? I would have moved on to another coin or done my own project at this point. It sounds like you blame the devs, the community, the exchanges... life is to short to stay mad. How much did you lose? Instead of tearing down the community tell us how you are going to help it.

If all this is such a problem you can look into other great coins/communities such as Blackcoin, Darkcoin, Cloakcoin, Dogecoin, Minerials, Viacoin and even some new promising coins such as Syscoin?Huh

I haven't gone through all your posts but I see lots of quoting and negativity. Crypto isn't for all. Many dangers around every corner. Tomorrow Bitcoin might be worthless. Perhaps maybe looking into Gold/Silver might be a better option.

I suggest to all if you are mad, upset, disappointed then ask yourselves "How can I help the community?". If that doesn't work then "Is it time to cut my loses and move on?"

At the end of the day everyone have a great Friday and lets not forget who clicked the "buy button"

I have a partner of 5 years. She is a Doctor, and hot as hell.

Like I said, I just find this place amusing. I'm really not having a go at anyone personally. Yet YOU insist on trying to make things personal...

So, again, what makes you so special?

When i was 5 years old I used to play doctor games with our neighbours daughter. Then we got caught by her mother. Bad mistake! My butt still hurts and it's a loooong time ago. So be careful!

Regards,
Michael

Haha! That's more like my kind of comment =)

I really couldn't care less if you ignore me. You have basically nothing to say anyway so that is fine with me.

I'd rather have an intense argument with someone who actually has something to say than to listen to your comments which offer nothing. No humor, no substance, nothing..

The ADULT thing to do is to be able to discuss things without degrading to childish insults.

AKA The Rubber Monkey
Someone seems mad about the price. I say cut the lose and sell. If someone feels they made a bad investment blame only yourself. May warning out there about crypto. I remember buying Ltc around this time last year. Everyone was soo down on Ltc (bought almost 9900 LYUzQXeAHRqvvYr2Yps7rnJjvCnMWyKLGC which went on BTC-e for BTC). I remember Dogecoin was a gamble... Ultracoin had promise but I couldn't help selling it off in first 2 weeks. I was there with BC in the beginning but recognized a very unhealthy growth and sold to buy back way cheaper (still a great coin and still have some for a rainy day).  Darkcoin was another nice surprise.

The moral of my story is. I have "luck" with coins. My misses nothing I remember too much about but my grand slams will buy you some items. I'm not going to be the "To Da MooN!" guy but keep your eyes on Vericoin.  I love the direction it is going. I love the fact I can spend it like BTC. I hodl and wait.

But if you mad bro... cut and run. No one is to blame for losing $$$ except the person that clicked the buy button! There is no dev, no cheerleader, no pumper, no scammer NO ONE that can ever be blamed but the person that clicked the magic buy button.

Peace out guys... have fun!

P.S. why do people give devs a hard time if they say "This is the next bitcoin", "This will be accepted by everyone that believes in anything resembling money"Huh?

Would it make you feel better if a dev said "i kinda believe in our coin but it might be crap"Huh? Devs do your thang!
AMEN!!
AMEN BRO!!!!

Hallelujah brothers and sisters!!  Hallelujah!!

Thou shall believe in the POWER of Vericoin! Thou shall NOT QUESTION the powers that be!

I shall SPITE the non-believers and condemn them to HELL!

The lord hath spoken and the lord shall speaketh again, at some point, sometime, maybe.

This child needs to get a life.

I have a life.

I also enjoy making fun of delusional fanatics from all walks of life.

What makes you so special?

Maybe if you could find a girlfriend (or boyfriend?) it might help. Just a suggestion.

Nice try.

Are you trying to tell me that you are actually an adult? No. I don't think so. I guess I'll just put you on ignore with the rest of the children.
