If a person isn't willing to pay for what was aggreed, then I guess there should be some explanation.

Other than that, cool work Mushroom!

I'm 16 years old, and got into Bitcoin when I was 15 years old. Granted I've been programming, doing server administration, and the likes for years and years, but I was able to understand the technical aspect of it.

That said, it isn't necessary to understand the technical side of it, and is in fact a turn-off to a lot of people. It makes Bitcoin seem "geeky" and only for tech guys. If the person is really interested in the technical side of it, they can learn that after the fact.

Just introduce them to Bitcoin, I say. But then, this isn't my bounty.

+1, you nailed it.

Unfortunately, computer geeks typically aren't too great at psychology which is the basis for effective marketing.

People like to feel safe, secure, loved, cool, sexy, excited, etc.

Nobody gives a shit about C++ or linux or FPGAs or cryptography.

But, if you can convince someone that using Bitcoin makes them cooler and sexier, then you have a winner.  When you have an unbelievably awesome product and you market it inappropriately, you end up where TiVo is.

Why would cryptocurrency be cool or sexy?

I don't see even the most hardcore Bitcoin fans in lingerie running around showing off their wallet.dat swag.

You know, you're right.  And since you're on the right track, why don't you tell all those beer, toothpaste, car, gum, cigarette, shoe, etc. advertisers that they don't know what they're doing.  Seriously, why would beer or cigarettes or shoes ever be sexy?

And for the love of god, tell Bit-Pay to get rid of that uninteresting chick who draws absolutely no attention whatsoever.  Wtf were they thinking?!?!?!

okay, you can go hire your own pretty model who wears shoes and smokes and drinks.

I talked to Mush and he told me you guys were talking in PM. Since we are friendly we made an agreement that since he says he is almost already done I won't butt in until you can have a look at his final product. If you think that his final product could be improved upon please tell me and I will begin work. I am extremely proficient about infographics and can make something that functions as well as looks beautiful. I have already sold a design to Littleshop here on this forum. When Mush's design is finished, and if you think you would like something better please let me know and I will get right on it!
