Topic: Petitioning Cryptsy, Btc-e and others for Monero(XMR) - page 3. (Read 7403 times)
Monero developers need to make the wallet easier to use and offer public wallet service like blockchain before an average user such as myself will consider using and investing in Monero.
Thanks for the footwork, everyone. I have a bit of a history in propaganda (or PR) so I enjoy an opportunity to share something great with the world.
I was also thinking we should aim high in our targets, and not just go for exchanges/media outlets that serve altcoins. What about Bitstamp? BTC China? Coinbase? Forbes?
We should also reach out on darknet marketplace forums - let's educate their users on the privacy benefits of Monero. I'm not a regular navigator of those places but perhaps someone else out there can join in?

let's add @jonmatonis to the list, he covers a lot of anonymity related things.
I will add it to the list.
A big shoutout to saddambitcoin for donating 5 XMR to this campaign. Because of this, the next 40 participants to join our twitter campaign will receive 0.2 XMR, not just the first 10 participants!

What has Andreas Antonopoulos said about Monero, if anything?
Also I think we should target some of the b-list crypto twitter influentials...
Perhaps others can identify the top names but people like Crypto Cobain and the like.

I doubt any oligarchs are going to bother much with XMR. I think they're too busy making money.
But I agree, understanding the technology is hard. I don't understand it. But I don't need the product.

Once again, people also said and still same the same things about Bitcoin. And look how wrong they have been!
Given the HUGE cheesy coin mixer advert in your sig, I'm not surprised you wish XMR would go away.
Because if you understood ring signatures you'd realize your silly

Traditional coin mixing services can be compromised in more than one way. XMR addresses this issue by creating trustless mixing. Spending some time to learn about the technology is warranted even for a competitor.
Everyone knows I am a full Monero supporter and I applaud your initiative.
I will add another 5 XMR to the campaign budget.
(please PM me with your monero address)
edit: I don't think Coindesk is outright censoring Monero, rather I think they are not yet taking it seriously. Either that or they are keeping quiet while they accumulate. Monero is not currently at that user friendly stage where I think it would be able to maximize benefit from a PR campaign, but it will come.

Maybe you're not shills after all, it could be a cult .... maybe you should move to Guyana and build Monerotown.
Being smug and snarky is easy; understanding new technology like XMR's ring signatures is hard.
People said, and still say, the exact same thing about Bitcoin. Maybe you should move to Guyana and build Bitopia.
I agree that paid hype is unseemly if done incorrectly, but fluffy's campaign is organic and honest.
Instead of nagging lagging exchanges, why not help Poloniex advertise and reward them for building a supremely XMR-centric exchange?
BTC-E will come around when the right oligarchs decide XMR is a good investment/store of value. Don't hold your breath (or stamp your feet) while we wait for the inevitable.

No
You're still not demonstrating even the slightest understanding of Monero's technical underpinnings. If you want to have a discussion, tell us about our technical shortcomings, not the actions of users. That sort of butthurt strategy hasn't stopped Apple from being successful (in spite of anyone who uses an Apple product being labelled a "fanboi"), and it won't stop Monero from being useful and useable.
I don't believe there is a need for its technical underpinnings, or if there is, then it is not worth drawing an analogy with Apple, which plays the CSR card all the time. You can't really do that with Monero.
I'm not saying it's not clever technology, just that it's not a fit for the vast majority of people.
So what is the point of it?
You can answer that question without referring to the rest of the altcoin world and its shortcomings.
