It was the Bitcointalk forum that inspired us to create Bitcointalksearch.org - Bitcointalk is an excellent site that should be the default page for anybody dealing in cryptocurrency, since it is a virtual gold-mine of data. However, our experience and user feedback led us create our site; Bitcointalk's search is slow, and difficult to get the results you need, because you need to log in first to find anything useful - furthermore, there are rate limiters for their search functionality.
The aim of our project is to create a faster website that yields more results and faster without having to create an account and eliminate the need to log in - your personal data, therefore, will never be in jeopardy since we are not asking for any of your data and you don't need to provide them to use our site with all of its capabilities.
We created this website with the sole purpose of users being able to search quickly and efficiently in the field of cryptocurrency so they will have access to the latest and most accurate information and thereby assisting the crypto-community at large.
announce Promoplugs!
Total Coin: 100,000
A NXT Asset (potentially)
Launch Date: 1/23/15 (ESTIMATE)
TICK: Suggestions?
To be clear, this is not and never will offer big flashy unique specifications. I have no plans of touching a coin's source control. I'm not a Coin Developer.
This coin is offering a unique distribution tactic that aims to keep people active long term, while blowing up facebook and Twitter with promotions and Advertisements.
The idea behind this is that your voice is worth more than any feature.
The Premise behind this coin is that scenarios like below can happen:
I set up an action such as "Raffling an IPAD. go to promoplugs.com to enter. Each action is 1 entry."
As soon as I post this, the X active members of our community will tweet it, and X^2 of their members hear about it, and tweet it as well, and so on and so on.
If Successful our community should easily become one of the strongest voices in Crypto on Twitter and other social media platforms!
Promoplugs will be an asset of NXT or other similar coin, that will be 100% distributed by users who complete various social media activities.
Every day a list of social media actions will be posted, and a set amount of coin will be paid out for each action that a user completes.
Key Features:
Evenly distributed based on each user's social media promotions.
Self promoting and Community Driven.
Can be exchanged to set up your own campaigns. 50% of coins used this way will be used to purchase Items, other coins, mining power, etc. to raffle off. The other 50% will be used to pay for development, etc.
Initial campaign supports most Facebook and Twitter Actions. V2.0 will add Instagram, Google+, Reddit, Pinterest, and others.
Each Campaign will initially only last for 24-48. Another one will be posted as soon as it ends. By design this will keep users talking about the coin, making for an active, constantly growing community.
other coin developers will be able to purchase our 'voice' by paying a set rate to have our daily campaign mention them. All funds collected from this will go towards raffle.
Last September I briefly offered a service very similar to these campaigns in an alpha build of the project. This initial campaign system was very limited in functionality, and was only used to test the waters and receptiveness of this type of system. Around a dozen coins purchased Campaigns, in the 3 weeks that I offered the service; and many of them are eagerly requesting more as soon as promoplugs.com goes live. To read about the initial campaign system, check out http://www.cryptotycoons.com/2014/09/proof-action-social-media-campaigns/
A very early screen capture of our original campaign system.
Promoplugs.com, while buggy is a live website, feel free to click around set up a campaign, and see what you think. There's plenty of broken links, etc.
DO NOT CLICK ANY PAYPAL BUTTONS.
So why should you trust me?
As stated, I am a web designer by trait, not a coin Developer. PromoPlugs.com will be a website that offers it's services to other coins and parties not involved in social media at all. It's a large scale, hopefully lucrative project that I can't afford to tarnish the image of. By launching this coin, I am tying the success and image of my livelyhood (the website) to it. I can't promise a successful coin.. But I can promise you an scam free coin.
Also, I'll happily do a Proof of Developer and release personal info when the coin itself launches. =)
So why the Preannouncement?
I want this coin to be 100% crowd driven. And as such, I'd like to get some feedback on things like the Asset type.
So post below:
