also, the nodes.
well, the best marketing you could do is use those two things but i'm guessing you thought of it: an airdrop for dym stakers and another one for your node runners.
i'll be honest with you, i haven't looked much into your project. the things i said are enough for me not to. there are hundreds of projects to look at so if some don't tick most boxes, you look at the ones who do. plus AI? well i've seen a lot of shit projects being launched and like i said being obvious cash grabs so now i don't trust easily. the thing that usually makes me run away from them is their discord chat. if you look at serious projects, their chats are mostly about tech, with customer support channels and stuff. on the contrary, the not so serious ones are the ones full of bots/airdrop hunters saying "hi", "gm" all day and where mods have no clue what they're doing here.
about how to promote yourself? well if you have to ask, then maybe you shouldn't be running a project at all.
do you have a budget? if not, where will your liquidity come from? what are your tokenomics? is anything reserved for advisors/kols/airdrops etc...?
were you in dubai? do you go to crypto conferences? do you know anyone in this space, do you have connections? can you set up partnerships? do you do AMAs on tg, discord?
i'm also not saying bitcointalk is bad (well it's not the best lol), it's still exposure so you might as well take it.
as for my connections, i used to have quite a few 3 yrs ago... now not so much (semi-retired here) and it's really not something i do or have time to do, sorry. plus... i don't know you. and i won't burn myself for someone i don't know.
Thanks for your advice!
We DO have plan to airdrop to Dym stakers, and will convert testnet token of node runners in airdrop.
In our discord group, we have serious channels for DeAI research, and tech discussion, although not as active as you could imagine.
We are replanning our tokenomics, with a small portion on pre-mine.
The team takes a very small portion of premine, and earns some dev fees in the future (for 20 years).
Fortunately, we have some savings that support us to work without any income (actually we have if considering investment return).
And our product is serverless and uses GPU@home, no need to buy or rent expensive GPUs, so the cost is not too much.
After some private sale, and backed by famous VCs, we will be exposed to more events you mentioned.
We just show up and give a lightning intro in yesterday's Dymension community call.
Thanks again for your advice.
Put us on radar, get to know us more.
I know you are looking for real projects that does real work. Nothing can be more real than all the code and paper we wrote.
I hope in the future, we can convert you to be our evangelist (or other forms of spreader if you believe in other or no religion).
