I have some press contacts that would be interested in the Counterparty story after the burn period has ended.
With Wwat press story should we lead?
- Counterparty and the end of Proof of Burn.
- Counterparty and creating your own currency without mining
- Counterparty: Satoshi Nakamoto is back with a new shadowy group
I am curious and seeking new ideas from the community.
From a professional standpoint, I like 2. From a "sensationalism sells" standpoint, 3 sells.
XCP is most differentiated by its proof of burn origins. It is the first ever crypto that did this isn't it?
The other things are stuff other crypto can claim and with limited PR ammunition, I would think it best to go with strongest point. Proof of Burn is so radical, just getting that out there should get a lot of coverage.
Once people find out about proof of burn and they want to dig deeper, then all the other stuff can be presented.

Yes and thank you. So you're looking at #1. The Proof of Burn idea is the first evert for a project of this size. The Proof of Burn story can have radical perspective and the coverage would be interesting. Yes, the bait will bring more eyes to the project and more work with XCP.
Your thoughts are helping here. Good work.
I have some experience with Market Positioning. I am glad to help! This whole proof of burn is radical for the crypto community, can you imagine what the mainstream press's reaction will be when they find out we burned over $2 million of BTC!? We should get at least that in free press coverage. "$2 million dollars goes up in flames!"
I think there is a chance to get onto mainstream media with this. Just need the right contacts.
XCP, we are so crazy we must be onto something big!
When people realize there is actually a well thought out rationale behind it, they realize XCP creators are a pretty smart bunch of guys. If they are so principled and intelligent, this XCP must be really good. Also, XCP is the FIRST community that actually welcomed me, a clear outsider from a different crypto if you look at my sig.
Presumptive sale! What XCP actually does will go way above most people's heads. I think the important thing to get across is that Proof of Burn serves a very real purpose. It is probably the most fair way to start a crypto. It doesn't even dilute BTC. I think people will understand the philosophical underpinnings of Counterparty.
With over 300 cryptos out there, gotta establish some uniqueness. Dominate that category, get into people minds and never let them forget. That is the key.
emunie and etherium are stumbling out of the gate with their money grabbing tactics and dilutive aspects of their currencies. I dont know much about mastercoin, other than they spend way too much on marketing.
Fairness, openness and the counterparty culture. Make that the story. I suggest to avoid all the comparisons against mastercoin, emunie, etc. Sell them on the culture and XCP wins. The reason is XCP tech must be so good they didn't need the funds to develop it. Investors will figure this out on their own.
2 to 3 month lead on mastercoin, no funny business with allocation of initial funds. I am a bit tired, so I apologize for rambling, but I hope there is enough coherent stuff in my post to be of use.
I am not quite sure how yet, but I have a very strong feeling that NXT and XCP will really help each other out. I did post good things about XCP today on NXT thread and not sure if that caused the doubling of burns today. I would not be surprised at all if a lot of NXT'ers are also XCP'ers.
My assessment is that both NXT and XCP will come out way on top of the other second gen cryptos
