Could you please use the DigiByte twitter:
https://twitter.com/DigiByteCoin for official news and articles only? I don't follow it anymore because of the "giveaway retweet" spam. I get your enthusiasm but it really annoys me :/
Hi dotabeard. I understand your point. It is something that I've struggled with regarding the DigiByte Group accounts. I've always tried to be respectful of peoples' time and not inundate them with spam. However, I can understand why DGB would use the official account to retweet promotion and outreach. It's a fine line to walk. We want to promote DGB. "We" means all of us. But, "we" also specifically means those of us who organize giveaways, outreach, etc..
I feel like we are moving toward a larger userbase and audience for DGB. We're working toward getting new merchants, new gamers, new traders, new users. And part of that process is public outreach. Public outreach has an aspect that is simply getting the word out (to any and everyone).
I think you make a reasonable point. We want people to associate DGB with the great services, and opportunities, and rewards. We don't want them to associate DGB with junk spam messages. So, the underlying question that wee need to ask is a simple question: "do the recent developments and underlying values of the multiple services and benefits of the DGB protocol balance justify the outreach?" I think the answer is yes.
Cheers,
Eric
P.S. hope you don't think my next post is spam.
