Cryptocurrencies can become popular within a short period of time in today's age, and they have higher chances of becoming popular if they have a name that is widely accepted and equally liked among different cultures. Bitcoin is such a name. Byteball, as well, is a very attractive and nice name for a cryptocurrency project that embraces simplicity and elegant technology. Along with a new consensus algorithm and untraceable payments, as well as chat built in from the beginning, this one is one to observe and get involved in.
You said it man.
Byteball, like snowball but instead of snow, bytes are rolling.
Byteball really needs a community manager who can reach out to exchanges and organize marketing, etc...
Maybe, but I wouldnt do that yet, to reach exchanges - those places are filled with "altcoin traders", an echo-chamber of the same people. To reach a wider audience, to gain more actual users and not speculators, we need to reach channels where altcoiners are not present. Niches where geeks do not hang around. Mom forums. Those kind of places, where you wouldnt think to mention byteball, but we do need it, to diversify and grow userbase. To learn what they need, what is difficult in the current wallet, to remove any obstacles for them to "pay" with very small price for something they want.
Exchanges are easy, every currency will get there, but to reach actual users is hard, and thats why its more worth to (begin) doing.
It would be nice with digital-service webshop, like "Send us bytes, which you can buy with PayPal/Visa/MasterCard from here ..., to receive access to ad-free content or gain imaginary karma-points on a forum". Must have something of worth for people to start and use a wallet over.
The more stuff you can buy, the more success byteball will have.
I too had a limited idea of the potential of byteball and was encouraging exchanges to get on board to give me a clear exit point financially. Oh, how wrong I was and after reading posts on this thread, major exchanges is the last thing that BB needs. I agree with your previous post that as long at dev holds so much BB, no major exchange in their right mind is going to go near it in the short term.
What I do feel we need is a forum on byteball.org similar to bitsquare.io This thread is a total mess and it's hard to find the gems in all the rough. Slack moves too fast and although the quick fire chat is appealing to some, there may be a wealth of applications waiting for contribution and a single thread doesn't allow for that.
Is the logo fixed or just a holding white space for future design? I get simplicity is beauty but people need from a brand perspective, it won't work. We live in a world of symbolism and if we want mass adoption, they need to buy in to a symbol/logo/brand.
