Sponsor, Advertiser, & Endorser

In order to better appreciate the varying strengths of the PICISI community we have identified 3 specific levels of support:  

Sponsors are individuals or entities that pay a fee to meaningfully engage with PICISI for a set period of time.  For CCs engagement is expected to be sponsorship of crowdfunding campaigns, but it could also be in other measurable ways involving social media and/or Pi investment.

Advertisers simply pay for specific promotions; they may but are not required to engage the site in any other way.

Endorsers are those who support the PICISI vision and have permit the fact to be publicly known; they may but are not expected to engage the site in any other way.

Based on the above everyone previously identified as "sponsors" have been reclassified as 'endorsers'.  This reclassification allow the supporter to determine the extent of their engagement, and allows us to get a better idea of where our strengths are.   All are welcome to be an advertiser or sponsor here is the rate sheet:  https://docs.google.com/document/d/13Z6axILSWmk3oqCMxJ1K4108WaZbGdiZo20hfE4vzn8/edit?usp=sharing

Thanks
PICISI Admin Team

As of July 4 the signing bonus no longer applies

UPDATE

We are making appreciable strides across various social media markets, most notably Google+ and Twitter, if you are a sponsors I encourage you to follow us on twitter, send us your articles (make sure PICISI is included), website info, and images there are a number of ways we want to help you to help us.  Our Pinterest sponsor page (https://www.pinterest.com/picisicom/picisi-sponsors/) has received a great share of attention, all PICISI sponsors and friends of sponsors are encouraged to 'pin' their content to that page.

Since my last entry our site ranking has improved by another 1M positions, I received some inquires regarding the admin positions and investment opportunities.   We have four administrative positions we are trying to fill: Deputy Director, Communications Director, Promotions Director, and Content Director; although the plan calls for all of them to be in place before launch I'm reconsidering that since I'm having such a difficult time recruiting.  

The state of our admin team just before beta testing will tell me the extent at which I must amend the PICISI plan, during the first 15 days of beta testing PICISI fees (not paypal fees) will be waived.  If test results are good we will launch Pi.

I would like to see our ranking under 2M before coin launch.

How To Become A Registered PICISI Contractor
http://coinblab.com/blogs/700/74/how-to-be-a-picisi-contractor


excerpt:


PICISI is an innovative crowdfunding startup that is presently under construction.
 
There are 2 steps to being a registered PICISI contractor
  *  request to be a Promotion Contractor, or Campaign Contractor, or Referral Agent  here REGISTER
  *  if satisfactory we will register you and provide you with up to date contractor policy and procedures. ...

As soon as we get a Deputy Director and Promotions Director we will create a certification process that will include a protocol and training.  The objective of the training is to insure that all self-employed contractors associated with PICISI know what is expected of them by us.

As we continue with our search for admins we also continue to form relationships within the CC and Crowdfunding (CF) industries.

Today our www.PICISI.com website ranking surged by a whopping 3M positions from 11M to 8M in only 2 weeks.

This ranking places us at the equivalent level of #98 of the Top 100 Crowdfunding Sites for 2015. 
https://crowdfundingpr.wordpress.com/2015/04/03/2015-top-100-crowdfunding-sites-in-the-united-states-and-global-markets/

General interest in PICISI has also surged at our social media pages (outside of BCT).  Our Pinterest sponsor page (https://www.pinterest.com/picisicom/picisi-sponsors/) has received a great share of attention, all PICISI sponsors and friends of our sponsors are encouraged to 'pin' their content to that page.

I recently stumbled on this reprinted PICISI article that was apparently translated into Danish:  http://www.dk.wedan.info/pi-anyone-den-picisi-udstedt-valuta-i-crowdfunding-space/

Here is an excerpt:

... PICISI er en crowdfunding start konstrueret til mange forskellige nationale valutaer som USD, GBP og EUR, men det vil også have en høj koncentration af cryptocurrencies såsom BTC (Bitcoin), EMC2 (Einsteinium), HYPER (Hyper) og Doge (Doge), for blot at nævne 4 på over 1300.

PICISI vil have sin egen valuta kaldet “Pi”, vil Pi at finansiere crowdfunding webstedets vækst og udvikling. Denne artikel vil tage et nærmere kig på Pi og hvordan det vil hjælpe PICISI gøre en stor indvirkning på cryptocurrency univers som vilje som crowdfunding rum ...


Thanks to whoever did the translation.

Currently they have 23 sponsors and are in talks with many more, they promise that every campaign featured at the site will get three things:
1) some sponsorship,
2) some funding, and
3) some publicity

...  PICISI needs four more administrators to join the two currently in place (Exec. Dir. and Asst. Dir) in order to set launch dates for the currency (Pi) and the site. "

The most recent article about PICISI:

PICISI, A CROWDFUNDING STARTUP OPPORTUNITY
http://www.crowdfundingpr.org/picisi-crowdfunding-startup-opportunity/


excerpt:

In January of 2015 the Einsteinium foundation, a cryptocurrency (CC) organization, conducted a crowdfunding (CF) campaign to benefit a research scientist: ww.indiegogo.com, during that successful campaign organizers were unable to convince Indiegogo to enable CC to be donated directly to the campaign via the site so organizers created their own system to enable people who wanted to donate CC to be able to do so. In addition to donations, many CC developers, foundations, and communities also participated as campaign sponsors in different ways. It was from those experiences the idea of PICISI (pronounced ‘pick-easi’) was birthed  ...

We are pleased to announce the newest article that features PICISI:

Triangles, An Innovative Currency Sponsors PICISI
http://www.upublish.info/Article/Triangles--An-Innovative-Currency-Sponsors-PICISI/948374

excerpt:

" ... many developers have quickly learned that 'just because you build it doesn't mean they will come', 70% of the CC have no traction. CC developers must distinguish themselves from the pack, they must be stronger, bigger, faster, and/or have more features to attract investors. Once you have a community then utility will determine longevity.

Triangles is a CC that distinguished itself in many ways and is now making a move towards more utility. The following interview highlights a bit of Triangles' history, their present activities, and one of their future plans ..."


Triangles is PICISI's newest sponsor.

Thanks for your question, PICISI is a very complex project, it was designed to be managed by 8 managers + 1 tech (scaled to team).
As mentioned an article published 2 days ago: http://www.crowdfundingpr.org/crowdfunding-startup-picisi-looking-good-admins/

"... PICISI is designed to run efficiently with 8 admins (Executive Director, Deputy Director, Assistant Director, Promotions Director, Content Director, Communications Director, Finance Director and Compliance Director) + 1 Tech. The project determined that a minimum of 6 (Executive Director, Deputy Director, Assistant Director, Promotions Director, Content Director, and Communications Director,) admins are essential in order to launch the site, currently they have 2 — the Executive Director and the Assistant Director. As such — PICISI needs a few good admins to manage the site.

... their prelaunch goals ...

1) recruit a min. of 6 admins, they now have 2;
2) secure a min of 20 sponsors, they now have 23 — goal achieved & surpassed;
3) secure a min of 8 campaigns to crowdfund, they now have 3 solid;
4) recruit a min of 1 referral agent, they now have 1 — goal achieved;
5) associate with a min of 2 promotion contractors, they now have 15 — goal achieved & surpassed;
6) associate with a min of 1 campaign contractor, they now have 12 — goal achieved & surpassed and;
7) publish a min of 5 articles, they now have 15 — goal achieved & surpassed.

There are only two prerequisites delaying the launch: ‘Admins’ & ‘Campaigns’. ... "

We need people who want to help manage the site.  

PICISI has many moving parts as implied by some of the admin positions, for example: the Communications Direction will be the face and voice of PICISI w/he will be responsible for making sure that PICISI is constantly in the news and mentioned somewhere in multiple languages around the world at all times.  S/he will be doing radio, TV, and online interviews.   S/he will also be supplying a steady stream of press releases, and articles to worldwide media.  

Most of those articles will be produced by Promotion Contractors who are self-employed people located all over the world who do assignments for PICISI and are paid with Pi (the PICISI issued currency).  One of the very many assignments that could be done is an article on a specific PICISI campaign, once the article is completed the Compliance Director reviews it for quality, if satisfactory we pay the contractor immediately.

We must make sure that the Pi we paid out are always in demand and easily transferable, so we want to have our currency available at exchanges, outside of exchanges (ie: shapeshift), and connected to resources that will enable debit card access.  These are assignments for the Exec and Deputy Directors.  

The Promotion Contractors from all over the world must have a degree of training to know our standards, the Promotions Director is responsible for that.  

The Content Director has to make sure that the site is constantly filled with high quality content including campaigns so s/he must work find ways to attract campaign organizers to the site and set up protocols to makes sure we have high quality content.  S/he must also work closely with tech to make sure that the site is user friendly.  

Keep in mind that mistakes, negativity, and challenges will come our way so we must considers these inevitabilities and try to prepare for them.  This is work that isn't seen when things are going good.  

The Finance Director has to figure out how to pay for operational licenses around the world without damaging Pi's short term value.  

All positions have real executive responsibilities however can be done by just about anyone who is meaningfully ambitious.

Let's Talk Bitcoin Inquires About PICISI
http://www.upublish.info/Article/Let-s-Talk-Bitcoin-Inquires-About-PICISI/947797

excerpt:
 
Adam: "What is your fee % for successful campaigns? Is there any fee for unsuccessful campaigns?"

PICISI: "The fees are not yet set, however I know our fee for the collection of fiat will be less than the fees charged by Kickstarter and Indiegogo, the fee for funds collected in CC will likely be about 8%, there are other fees associated with sponsorship opportunities eg: 15% fee for video a sponsorship deal. Every approved campaign is expected to enjoy some degree of sponsorship ... every campaign will get something: they will get currency as well as some publicity. ... No there is no fee for failure. Our fee structure is based on sustainable success and satisfaction."


Adam: "How do you vet projects? Do you do any post-campaign-success support to either the company or the funders?"

PICISI: "The campaign vetting protocol is not yet established, the Deputy Director will likely be charged with that responsibility however everyone will help with its creation and development. The PICISI mantra is: 'Promotion, Promotion, Promotion', so yes we will promote to attract business to the site, we will promote our sponsors and our campaigns, and we will promote the successes.

Promotion Contractors are self employed individuals from around the world who do PICISI assignments and are paid by PICISI with PI (the PICISI issued currency). There are two kinds of PICISI assignments: 1) staple assignments and 2) reserve assignments, a 5 min follow-up campaign video will likely earn about 30 Pi, our Compliance Director determines acceptable quality.





________________________________




We recently activated a youtube account for PICISI, the channel will be used in many ways, primarily to house all of the campaign videos, but also to feature extended stories about campaigns that didn't make the final cut of the campaign video, and also post campaign videos that tell the 'follow-up' stories.
 
We will also have various playlists that will serve to inform and inspire.  We will also include videos of campaigns that show favor to PICISI even if they are not part of the PICISI platform. 

All PICISI sponsors are invited to let us know if they want a link to their site or BCT page placed at the channel, please notify us at the channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCOVRbBErh7yRgVIHeuTgSgg/discussion   

If you have videos that you want added to our playlist simply make that request at the page.

Vod created many impostor accounts to misrepresent PICISI, one of those accounts (pickissy) he uses frequently in an effort to misrepresent PICISI.  This notice is written to  demand that Vod stop misrepresenting PICISI and that Vod (and or his impostor accounts) stop harassing Armis, PICISI, and all those who wish to legitimately discuss and consider PICISI.

It is considered "scammy" to create impostor accounts, Vod created at least 3 of impostor accounts (Official PICISI, Offical PICISI, and Pickissy).  It is considered a 'scam' to used such impostor accounts to give people the impression that the impostor (Vod) speaks for the person, project, or entity being misrepresented.  

If Vod created an account 'Official_Theymos' it would be considered 'scammy', if Vod then used the account to give others the impression that he speaks for 'Theymos' or for 'bitcointalk.org' it would be considered misrepresentation EVEN if they later created a website called 'theofficialbitcointalk.org' website.  

The simple fact is it would be misbehavior because it would misrepresent the truth and seek to deceive the innocent.

Vod's misbehaviors are currently being discussed with numerous levels of authority on this site and outside of this site.

You were trusted to try to stop scammy practices, you were trusted to try to stop fraudulent practices, you were empower to try to stop unethical behavior, but instead you not only wrongly accused someone you then proceeded to do the very same scammy, fraudulent, and unethical things you are supposed to protect us from.

You created fake accounts misrepresenting yourself as "official PICISI" accounts knowing that I have a standing claim on that name in this space.  Of course that's unethical.  

You even went as far as issuing negative feedback to the PICISI account simply because you believed it's an alt account of mine.  

You jump to conclusions hurt others then act like all should be forgiven because you 'erased' it.  Why don't you erase the evil in you heart so you don't have to keep erasing things.  




______________________________



Vod is using a scammy account to give the false impression that he speaks for PICISI, but worse than that he is also actually lying when he claims that any sponsor requested a refund, not sponsor requested any refund.  In fact 1 has indicated that his next new business will also be a PICISI sponsor.

This is outrageous, not only because Vod is purporting to be associated with PICISI, but he's claiming that I said things that I didn't say in that post.  Note that the thread is locked and apparently only unlocked when Vod want to make a new entry.   That is not free speech that's libelous misrepresentation:


https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/defense-against-armis-overwhelm-and-confuse-ongoing-attack-1060460

Armis has posted this identical text in nine different places so far, obviously in desperation.  

To keep things clean there was only one reply, and any responses will be kept on that one thread.
I am posting this since the Pickissy account is only allowed to post once every six minutes.

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.11405829

You created fake accounts then later 'determine' that it was unethical then closed them.   But some how you could not see how ethical it was while you were thinking about it?
I was unethical as a though, it was unethical when you started to process, it was unethical when you agreed to the terms of the site that said you would not do such things, it was unethical when you used it to access the site, it was unethical when you used it to create an entry, it was unethical when you allowed it to remain as long as you did.
that applies to each of the accounts that you made that have any relation to PICISI.

To call yourself "honest and ethical" after admitting to mass unethical behavior is a pathological liar admitting to being a liar and wanting credit for momentarily telling the truth.

IMPORTANT

The following article http://www.crowdfundinsider.com/2015/05/67507-bitcoin-alternative-hyper-teams-up-with-goldpieces-to-sponsor-digital-currency-crowdfunding-platform-picisi-launches-worldwide-crypto-gaming-network/  was reprinted from an earlier article put out by HYPERfuture about Goldpieces.   The article was sent to many different media desks for coverage.  One of the media desks was Crowdfund Insider, these guys are the crowdfunding industry leaders when it comes to crowdfunding media coverage.   If you visit the site you will see that they do a number of different thing in the crowdfunding space, they are highly ranked in all of the things that they do.

This article is more than an article about gaming, a particular CC, or a crowdfunding start-up, this article is actually represents a bridge between the CC world and the CF world.  Their target audience is extremely limited and highly focused, the audience is essentially made up of two types of people: campaign organizers and campaign donors.  If you look at the DNA of a CF organizer, a CF donor, and a CC speculator you will see very little difference because we are all cut from the same cloth, we are all: visionaries, strivers, investors, adventurers, gamblers, thinkers, creators, doers, motivators, leaders ... etc ... you know what I'm talking about because you are one too.

That article represents a CC story being told in a foreign CF land as such we should do what we can to support our story in their land so that more of them are encouraged and inspired to know more about our world.

I strongly encourage all that reads this message to write a comment at the article, mention any CC you wish but make sure that you draw positive attention to the article so that the CF people will be motivated to learn more about the CC industry.  please tweet

Exciting Unexpected Premature Good News

On May 3rd I was informed that of the 600 million websites on the internet, www.PICISI.com is ranked at 22 million.  That was phenomenal news considering there is nothing at the site and we didn't ask anyone to go there.  Our plan regarding site performance was to start monitoring it after we launch but since it is now listed we will start monitoring ranking immediately. 

Apparently the prelaunch buzz is effective and caused people to search out the site.  That curiosity was recognized by Alexa.com, the foremost authority on site rankings, who ranked PICISI.com.

Today I took a look at the ranking ant to my amazement it was adjusted to ~17M at this rate we expect to rise though the ranks fairly quickly.  Our ranking goal is to be under 100K in 3 months and under 10K in 6 months.  For perspective coinmarketcap.com is ranked at 14,406 worldwide, and bitcointalk.org is ranked at 5,645 worldwide.   

After we go under 10K we will aim to compete head-to-head with our primary competitors in the crowdfunding space: indiegogo.com who is ranked at 1018 worldwide and kickstarter.com who is presently ranked at 372 worldwide.


May 3, 2015 ranked at ~22M
May 5, 2015 rank adjusted to ~17M

True rank changes are done monthly or longer.  The 5M rank leap is an awesome sign for a site in prelaunch.

Thank you for your encouraging comment.  I noticed Coinomat in your signature, I was reading about that for the first time about an hour ago, I think that would be a great resource for PICISI, and should be a PICISI sponsor (it's a logical fit).

Moments ago we achieved another one of our launch prerequisites; I'm pleased to announce that we received a sponsorship donation from Gridcoin, and that Gridcoin is our 20th sponsor.



Update of pre-launch goal achievement:

1) recruit a min. of 6 admins, we now have 2;  
2) secure a min of 20 sponsors, we now have 20: (www.ArmisGame.com, The Einsteinium News, Crypto Cloud Hosting, Bitcoin PR Buzz, Crypto Database, Einsteinium, Metal Coin, HYPER, Hobonickels, Energy Coin, World Aid Coin, Artsry Coin, GSM, Sativacoin, Magi coin, HTML5, Coin2, Aricoin, NXT, and Gridcoin); [goal achieved]
