Topic: [ANN][VRC] VeriCoin Proof of Stake-Time Currency | New Roadmap Released - page 302. (Read 1356147 times)

Well I think VIA has a pretty big part of it - but there are also a few other pieces to the puzzle (in my opinion)1. The weekend hype around the corner 2. The rejuvenated positive energy and 3. The price had just about hit the previous floor (6.5k). It realistically wasn't probably going any lower than that anyway - so I think all that mixed together made the prefect storm for a great day.

To be honest I don't follow the tandem of other coins moving in relation to VRC. I don't even follow NAUT or PINK. Sorry

A few sites ago I've made the proposal that everybody should put a small logo on his Website, Facebook, twitter account or even in the mail signature. Something like "We support Vericoin" or "Vericoin Supporter". People are curious and some will klick on it. I have nothing to do with grafik design, but I think it's not a big problem to make such a logo. It's easy, doesn't cost anything and promotes Vericoin all over the world in seconds. So, can anybody make such a logo?

Hey!! Thanks for finding that demographic sheet! That's definitely helpful to know. The plan is to hand out as much VRC as possible. I'm open to do both paper wallets as well as get people to download the wallet and do a QR code. I think the download and virtual send will provide more of an "experience" and would be the better route to go. Or we can do both.

Donation address is below. We currently have raised 3,000 VRC. 100% of what is donated will be passed out during the day. We have a couple weeks to plan out the rest of the day. I was talking to somebody in PM about the idea of doing a nice 5-10 minute presentation every hour on the hour kind of thing on top of helping people 1-2-1. I think there needs to be a good mix of interacting with a big crowd but also having the 1-2-1 interaction.

Thanks in advance for any donations!!

Edit: yeah we will make sure to have tons of photos. I have a friend who's a professional photographer and does seriously amazing work. We will have TONS of pictures. I've also talked to VRCRadio guy about doing a live Skype interview during the event.

Oh and Xosihc, don't worry too much about the pamphlet, it will be ready. It will be aggressive and it will be very clear. The web address of course will be there but the web site is not made thinking the perceptions of the general population, so 99% will not pass the first click. The pamp[let will create the interest and tell them all they need to know. Hopefully we will have it ready within a day or two that why it is imperative that everyone with ideas post them asap.

Yopu are already doing it. Nothing else to do but be brilliant, funny -and have a photographer on the 30th. Get a lot of people's attention. I'm sure you and your friends will do great. Now, we need to cover about another 20-30 cities in the rest of the world so they would do their version of exactly the same thing.

The momentum won't be kept on its own. WE will have to do it.

(out of curiosity, what influence in VRC's price do you perceive out of VIA or other events? Have you seen VRC trade in tandem with BC for weeks? It has. Have you seen the rebound in BC compared to the one in VRC? Or even in NAUT or PINK today? Just curious)

Xosihc, here is a demographic sheet for the 2013 fair. http://www.mnstatefair.org/pdf/13_MSF_Demo_Sheet.pdf

Looks like a fairly well educated crowd, mostly middle aged.  I suppose if you are handing out VeriCoin (something with value) they are likely to try to cash out. Assuming they are not the techie types, whatever you hand out should have very simple instructions for "what to do next".  Even if it's simply a web address and/or QR code, send them somewhere to learn more: "Go to www.vericoin.info to get your wallet and learn more about VeriCoin..."

What's the address again to donate to?

Thanks for your positive vibe here!

EDIT: Maybe put it in your Sig...

Once again man, you are obviously a man of conventional marketing. This is Crypto. In 2 weeks, we would probably have been  in the coin cemetery already if it wasn't for the MN fair idea. Like I have posted, WVD is not new, I offered weeks ago, for a fair (but significant) price to PINK. I dropped the offer and didn't take to the community for the same very reason I was dropping this one here. So there was no "inspiration" or anything like that. And no, there's no stealing any thunder either, it is put the energy into synergy and make history. Just the opposite.

And no there's no need for more time considering this will be, in effect, pure guerrilla marketing. We are putting on a show. And we are making history with it.
"Fail"? It isn't even a consideration, for it is impossible for it to fail? There's no ROI -or so minimal that it has already been more than added to the price. And it will explode much higher, even if we accomplish only a 10% of what I envision and am quite sure we can accomplish. There's no possibility of failure, none.

Now, there's much to do. Create the pamphlet, one of them so they can be printed in big amount by the leaders for very little money. A website? OK, I don't need it or care but the more the merrier. Online I am not worried, we will have the content to irrigate social networks with literature, reports, photos and videos. I do want the leaders to make of this just the starting point of an activity that has to continue the day after by contacting the people they met from local media outlets, to call them in advance, to visit the merchants with the show, in pictures of what Vericoin is becoming, and to starts seeding what World Vericoin Day 2015 is going to be.

Want to help with the pamphlet? Go ahead. You or anyone.  Why Vericoin and not Bitcoin or any other? This is, by far the most important answer we have to provide. Any other ideas? great! Lets do it. Lets start now, have it ready and rolling by tomorrow. Have the leaders starting to see the money and other forms of support coming. Get them psyched up, energized. And bringing in their own ideas. But the pamphlet, to have it translated first and printed second, the most important one now. Lets have it done by tomorrow. Devs, chime in.

Awesome! I will keep my eyes out for the mail and let you know when I received them. Thanks SO MUCH for the support! 

Well again, earlier tonight (like an hour ago) I said the rebound probably had 95% to do with VIAcoin and 5% to do with the outside events, if that. I could care less who is responsible for the rebound. It's nice to see one. Hopefully we can build off this momentum and keep it going.

I also get the MN State Fair has nothing to do with a global presence, but at the same time you can look up the numbers yourself (google: "MN state fair statistics") and you'll see a good 200,000+ people will be there that day. Even if I only talk to 1% of all people, and out of that 1% I talk to - I get 1% interested in VRC - that's still 20 more people than we started with for the day. The reality is, I think I can get a lot more than 20 people involved.

Finally, like I have been saying 1000x - I LOVE the idea of Vericoin World Day. I'm 100% down to support it. You just tell me what I need to do and I'll do my best to help.

20 shiny new VeriCoin chips are enroute to you!

Dear Lord you type fast ! Ok before I even had a chance to respond.. you go off !  

- read back a few post - Doug : Fantastic idea... let's plan. Me love the idea... let's chat and set a date plan of attack. Xosihc I even love his idea too.  Yoshiwatusi I support VWD * edited a bit.. but you get the point.. we love your idea.

 Please try to understand what you are proposing is like launching a rocket. it takes time to plan things.. unless you want a dud  

Now since i asked about your background here is a bit about mine. I work in NY with various ad agencies, my background is advertising, design - Ask the team and some here what i have done. The reason I asked is to see how best i can use your talent / energy to help us on this major promo. * prob one of the best ideas i heard here yet. Understand that Xosihc's plan is already in progress and we can't steal his thunder either. want to help ? Help him promote. Twitter, Facebook whatever you want.

As for VWD What you are proposing is a form of guerrilla marketing / global viral aspect included. ( think of how many people we need involved)  Everything does begin with an idea, however we must plan it. Think of it this way.. i come up to you hey man, i have this great idea to design this building, bridge, product etc.. I need donation..wait..what ?? we need to rush...woah woah slow down... zero plan.. the odds are... it will fail !

Advertising is that Strategy  - we must come up with how to best engage the public. That will require planing and creativity. Hence I said realistically it will take time.

Step 1 ) Let's chat via PM.. way too many ideas plan floating up the air.. 2 ) decide what will present to the dev and community, 3 ) Now get them involved, get their ideas as well ie get final say on promo name, steps involved, tactics.  4 ) Set up and lift off !  5 ) not done yet, measure results.

That promo day can happen, most think it is a cool idea. Anytime you decide to promote a brand and create awareness, you get me psyched you will get support.

Donations could be sent to the VeriFund......

i support the World Vericoin Day, I just think its better if donations are handled by the devs.. thats all.., in any way i can- promoting to friends, acquaintances, bringing in new investors, 1 out of 2 i talk to are willing to invest. lets focus on bringing VRC nearer to non-crypto folks…

Glad to see my Fan Club is still good and strong, I didn't even see his post until sdmathis quoted it lol he is on my perma-ignore list. Anyway believe what you will, say what you want I still love you guys, this coin, and this community. 

To Shinraven, ince I edited this before, reinstating it now:

I have looked  over a bunch of posts but I stop reading yours when you seemed to say a variation of what Scott said. I am DETERMINED to put this project to a test, ok? so there no possibility of it not going through, IF -that's the whole ball of wax- LEADERS come forward willing to do it. On the 30th. No ifs, no buts. And IF, the only other if, the community responds with their support and their donations.  Xosihc, for me this as solid as your MN fair. Only that, sorry, that's too little. too local. Nothing to be made of it promotion wise. I am not putting you down at all, I am keeping the perspective. You are too close but this is just an even of no repercussion whatsoever outside of MN. Anyway if you want to believe that that is the cause of the rebound, feel free. I don't care. I care that World Vericoin Day happens. And the rebound will be much bigger. If it doesn't happen, I believe it will revisit singles again.

No Shinraven. There's enough time. Plenty. Yes, funds are for giveaways, giveaways are to lure people to groups and leaders need to wear and give out Tshirts. Ideally they will paint the Vericoin Logo all over their faces too. That's it. I will provide -and if you or others contribute, much better- a copy for translation of what the pamphlet shoul look like and the content. We can PM but I much rather have everyone with things to bring in to just bring them in and get done with it. 15 days is an eternity in Crypto. More than enough time for everything. Only things needed are the WILL of the LEADERS and the support, financial and promotional, of the community.  Slogan will be provided also (contributions appreciated, of course).

 Xosihc, one thing you must have clear: Joel Bopsch, Wizrig, for me, is a Black Hand operative. It means he is the face of a group of anonymous ionvestors who pump and dump coins and that destroyed -in cahoots with their devs- Blackcoin with their blatanjt manipulation. I have already posted many times that I believe the Black Hand invested heavily in VRC with the same purpose, but when they realized that the devs here would not play ball, they just dumped and Bosch is kind of gone. THAT SAID, I do not believe that Joel's actions are negative in any way for Vericoin. As a matter of fact I'd very much appreciate if he picks up the flame and makes of Miami one of the best and brightest on World Vericoin Day. He can promote Vericoin and that is all this initiative seeks, nothing else. And I don't care if he receives orders from the Black Hand or not as long as he does something that favors Vericoin, ok? And he, more than anyone else, can. At the Miami Level. So his cooperation and support is more than welcome. He brings much more to the table than most others can.

Shinraven, I do not wish -you should know this by now- to make public either who I am nor my background. I have my motives. I am not a developer, I don't have to. And I won't. I know of what I speak, that should be obvious, but it is up to everyone to construct their own conceptions as they please. You included.

Your offer of cooperation is appreciated, deeply appreciated. Some specifics would help. I hope I have made clear what I envision as World Vericoin Day, already. But if you need further clarification, either publicly or by PM, please let me know.

That sounds good. I'm taking a trip myself from August 21st-August 25th up to Canada eh, so other than those dates I'm always available.

Don't be a dick. He's just informing everybody that the pool is down.

Oh thanks - I'll get back to you in a sec

Hey man, I'm not trying to start a war with you. It was just earlier tonight I said "I thought we were very much the same in how we think". I think we all have the same goal in mind, to make VRC as best of a coin as possible? Yes? So lets please try to work together...

Xosihc, check your Private Messages. I need a mailing address for drop-shipping some VeriCoin chips.
