Well, Theres been some great things happening with SXC..
Media attention , new services, a new exchange and new merchants...
But the price is down.. This information isn't getting out there...
Our official website hasn't been updated.. This is a problem, one I raised a week ago... It's still not updated.. A nice shiny new website would be nice, but in the weeks or months that it is being developed a quick update on the old one would stop a lot of negative impressions about SXC being formed.
I started an official page on facebook.. there was one, it went against SXC's branding and represented SXC as purely speculative, and elicited donations, none of which went to SXC's development.. It also didn't contain any news so it gave the impression SXC was standing still..
That's much the same as the two twitter feeds... I'm trying to get that under control as well, but my request for an "@sexcoin.info" email account to be setup has not born any result... I guess there's more important things taking place...
In the end I guess there's not much I can contribute to SXC, so I am reducing my involvement in the project with a view to leaving the development altogether.
Well it is hard to promote a coin professionally if you do not even have an email address at the coin's domain.
Here is what I believe SXC needs to do to really push forward:
- Set up a service which allows
subscription payments in SXC - as most of the industry uses the model of subscription payments. (if coinpayments.net does this you are already halfway there). Offer a bounty for this if coinpayments.net do not offer it.
- Email / contact thousands upon thousands of adult websites educating them as to why accepting SXC is a smart move - especially as the price could easily reach the highs of late December again once the coin is more widely adopted (i.e they should profit from this), as well as the free marketing and exposure they will get as a result of accepting SXC from the SXC community.
- Issue press releases re the latest developments in SXC monthly
Do the above and the coin will really take off
Don't do it and it's not going to go anywhere - you can't just not promote a coin and pray for it to become popular.
The fact SXC has been getting the kind of media coverage it has been getting is due to its name - this has provided a good foundation for the coin - it's now time to aggressively market SXC and enjoy the results
EDIT: And for god's sake have a professional Facebook and twitter which is updated regularly, and a dedicated SXC forum. Offer a bounty to have the site redesigned too. It's not that hard!
There has been some pr for SXC too:
