Smells good!
Above friends say some basic conventional promotion methods, for me, I do not think that all the above ideas as to allow coinye west on his next concert or CD to do publicity, you know, the power of the fans is endless! Smiley

Do you think so?  5TjqjeeFwTxtx1kYRg7MnJHcyv6coyq8H8

Thank you !

there's already enough hype.

Making your own exchange would be nice. Preferably trading directly to USD. Im sure many ppl would buy as its a hot topic on ebay.

make giveaways on twitter and facebook maybe. you should think of offering bounties for key services, like for gambling sites, exchanges and other services that raise the utility of coinye.

also offer bounties for promotional activities! i wish i could do a few giveaways in my communities but i somehow chose the wrong pool for the launch of coinye -.-


also a general update and a forum for your website would be awesome!

Lets make Coinye a currency that stays for the long run, we have to use the initial hype!

Make a web site, where you can sell things for bid/buy with coinye wests. I had in mind game codes or guides or things like this. I would sell my Humble-bundle with 10 games, worth 100$, which I bought for 5, for example. You definitely want to focus on something online, this is on a global scale. Maybe funny song (now days anything get views - fox song or whats that shit called).

Hope i helped,

Thanks for the replies. I've barely left my place all week and I need to do a few things, but after this list builds up I'll come back and reply to everything.



nice launch so far. great work! my opinion:

1. dont listen to most ppl here, they just wait for pump and dump.

2. dont rush for exchange, the moment it hit exchange, the moment it dies. 12 hour retarget, that means if difficulty drops, multipool will keep dumping for 12 hours, there will not have such demand to absorb the supply.

3. dont give away to ppl in this forum, give away to ppl in twitter, facebook. ppl in this forum does not need more coinye, too easy to mine.

4. give 50mm to someone who build a decent gambling site. 10Ghs in the first 24 hours is good. There are lots of coins in a well distributed wallets. nobody has any practical use of them except dreaming to be a millionaire, including me. You need a big pool, for ppl to park their coinyes there, like gambling, like porn, drug dealing, money laundry, whatever. so new ppl buy coinye to goto those sites, and ppl with coinye rather to park coin there than rush to exit. actually, when you do give away, give away to muggles to try out those sites. So they will goto exchange to buy more.

5. where is your wallet download link, with nodes? not in your main post, not in your own website. no wallet, no new faces.

if you like my idea, 5jSdTJ3CvJQYRdPNg2PJzg3sAKhCzD4Kyk

ideas...for what they are worth :p

- This coin has something in common with doge - a lot of publicity outside the regular crypto channels.  Like doge this will attract a lot of new people to find out what the fuss is about so make your coin as noob friendly as possible.  Including the conf file with the wallet was a great idea, but maybe also include a readme on where to put it and maybe some basic (ie for people who know nothing about mining/crypto) instructions on how to start mining it etc.

- still along the noob theme.. a lot of these new people wont have any specialist mining setups so are going to struggle to actually get any of your coin.  you want them involved and bought in as they will probably be the core of your community after all the speculators have pumped and dumped. The reality is these people arent going to invest in mining hardware unless they can see a reason to. So maybe start an official pool, use the pool fees and part of the premine to subsidise these low hash people so they actually get a  bit of coin to play with and see how the whole crypto thing works, I dont know if you could script it, but once a day review the people in the pool who had a hash rate of say less than 75khs for example and send their wallets the same amount they mined for the day, at that hashrate they arent making crazy money thats impossible to match from pool fees but what you are doing is creating a point of difference - no one else looks out for the little guys just starting out and you are giving them a reason to use and promote your coin because they actually have some.  Obviously you cant do that forever but you wont need to once new people can see a benefit to them in having better equipment they'll buy it, but noone is buying $500 video cards for a quick experiment to see if something works.

- approach a decent exchange and work to get the coin listed.  you dont have to pay anyone - moon turning up on coinex 12 hrs or so after launch proved that exchange owners can make good money off of a well publicised coin - and thats what you have.  when you look at who to approach dont just think big and famous look for user friendly and helpful - after all this is where all your noobs are going to learn why they should be using your coin the easier you can make that process of all the new people you are bringing in learning how to get and use your coin the more likely they are to stick around and keep your coin alive.

-talk to a payment processor that is willing to deal with altcoins, one example is https://www.coinpayments.net/, their stores accept some or all of the alt currencies they allow, once you have a payment processor its a lot easier to sell businesses on using your coin.

hope it helps and good luck Smiley

Trading will make me rich)
Start from giving away coins for everyone (smaller amounts) and for helping spread the word about it (bigger), doing small tasks like twitter posts, blogposts etc. Make some funny contests with memes on topic etc.

Next start speaking with the exchanges, or just encourage people to vote @ their feature request lists by offering some bonuses.

When you will have at least one (and not the smallest)) exchange trading COYE, you should start negociating with payment processors, accepting alternative cryptocoins (there is at least one in this forum). This will bring you merchants - it will be far more easier for them to accept good old USD from processor for their goods or services, even bitcoins are usually not accepted without intermediaries.

Then start to offer good bounties for everyone, who will convince merchant to accept COYE directly or thru payment processor, and if you'll do all this I think our main goals will be achieved)

5ZZArf7ZkKHwFQXsP5o3dsPrHodbts33pb if I was helpfull, thanks and good luck, I hope this coin will be successfull!

Gambling sites and more media attention. I am working on a site right now that will allow gambling with coye and a few other coins.

Some ideas that could work:
  • A poker game (against a computer to begin with)
  • Get down and dirty with webcams where you can tip each other
  • Some kind of music purchasing website using coinye's
  • Logo design content
  • Weekly 'beat the drum' contest where users need to find inventive ways to advertise Coinye coins and the best person each week wins 100k coins
  • Reddit board where users submit fun Coinye pics, vids, gifs, stories and poems. The fun part is everyone who submits gets a reward but the most upvoted win higher rewards
  • Work with a tshirt company to distribute fan made coinye tshirts

Just play off the southpark jokes and you should be able to get alot of attention. The media attention right now is really good. I just downloaded my client but haven't gotten it synced to a pool yet. Maybe if you made an ad for coinye west by using parts of the southpark episode. Make him say stuff promiting his coin and make a catchy jingle/song to go behind it and then all of a sudden coinyewest is viral!!!

security,like correctness,is not an add-on feature
1. Create an attractive game, maybe a facebook one, which is not a gambling type but with a theme of self competition, adventure or multiplay. The key here is : none gambling, attractive... current news stories should carry on to other things related to coinye distracting common people from the law affairs... You should dump some of your coinye storage here as rewards to people. Rewards should either be distributed unevenly but in multiplied fashion so that there is a big stake for someone or evenly so that much more people get their hands full.

2. Or make a deal with someone/some entity that have a game dealing with internal points / cash mechanism. Hand him the coinyes so that he can distribute them to game players. These coinyes then will return to the game owner slowly. Profit for everyon, game owner, coinye, game players and the whole community because of retaining coinyes in players affecting market price. (Depends how you can hand out though)

3. Similar to 1, a creative lottery around a meme that can draw attention could be organized. Say, instead of numbers let people choose different images created in theme with the original coinye graphics. And draw a winning number (a series of graphics ) at certain intervals. Weekly, Bi-weekly or monthly or just one time.

PR guys know much better though whatever you do should have a sense of humour so that it could distribute like virii.

with so massive media hype it hardly to say what could be efficient
generally it is obvious that you have to do some attractive contests and so on...

I didn't even get a chance to mine my own coin at launch.
Really sorry to hear that. That must feel like a personal disaster.
Shall we tip you some? :-)  Grin


I want to give away 50 million COYE to improve this coin.
Can you guys help with ideas, perhaps offer some work for bounties, or any other general advice?
Yes.

Contribute some millions to a a multi bounty for a multi currency multi wallet

I put my idea here:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/wanted-multi-currencies-multi-wallets-multi-functions-multibounty-405762

and it has grown a bit, conceptually, and already has an interested programmer with the same idea.

Support your coin by supporting the whole community.
By helping to create something that benefits all, and long term.
Even if your coin is long forgotten, you have contributed something.
And, as a side effect, your coin might actually have a chance to survive,
because the COINYE plugin is included into a sustainable altcoin software.

--> Contribute to the altwallet MULTI-BOUNTY (= several altcoins bounty)
