After the stable version released, we need some marketing activity I think.
Any plan about this? Not so many people know xcr atm.
"Build it and they will come."
That being said, I posted a discussion thread, although met with low interest I will keep updating it with solid new info in other section of community (alternative currencies) because it don't get pushed to 2nd page in 2 seconds, and is not filled with as many trolls as ANN section, just to get some discussion and invite new forgers.
That being said, I am still of belief supernet is a good suppliment for both snet and Crypti, and will bring some marketing in itself, transactions for forgers to fee and a stronger network, exposure to new developers and general interest in product. I will think of other things to do marketing myself, I hope someone can make a windows forging video for starters, the process itself is very simple that's just what I want to showcase, that you don't need $8000 of mining hardware to be able to earn on the network expanding and increasing in value.
I think the real marketing can begin when we have custom made blockchains then we need to make a strong push to get developers to build on top of it, businesses and customers willing to try the innovation out and see it for what it is. I want strong userbase, happy forgers, healthy network. These my three keypoints and I will do my best to fill them, since I am not tech I cant contribute to other things. I believe by doing so, we need to try unorthodox and different methods aswell as adapt constantly to stay viable, as not to say compete against ETH who get self fulfilling marketing, even they have not shown product but have been slowly hyped since January, my point being we need to be different to make our innovation heard, and be willing to have openminds in expanding.
I think and what I posted in my thread as discussion points
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/xcr-lets-talk-crypti-and-other-nodejs-projects-821046 are good grounds for discussion but also as marketing.
Then again I am not tech so what I need is elaboration in these points to form a deeper understanding hence why I started discussion about it.
#1 Node.js vs Java or other protocols?
#2 Mining vs forging?
#3 PoS vs forging?
#4 Elaboration on in which fields CMB technology can be useful, and to what levels the technology can reach
#5 CMB vs other equivalents?
being my points of discussion, aswell as marketing it's pros and cons and weigh them against other alternatives to show XCRs power.
Because for someone who's not deep into tech, there needs simpler explanations, just like when I stumble upon bitcoin it took me months to realize what even blockchain technology can do , and many people explaining in different simple and indepth ways and I am still learning everyday different things it can do, such needs CMBs to market and understandable, so aswell can pitch it to businesses and VCs and normal people, to understand it's ultimate use & innovation.
In start it will have just tech people, but imagine in a years time a company building their whole business on top of CMBs, or any other blockchain tech.
It can disrupt existing billion dollar businesses, with simple escrows, bills, deals or whatever rule you want to apply to it or aim to achieve
For it to happend, needs to display functionality and usage in different/unorthodox ways to reach end customer and really make a difference.
But all starts by getting noticed in the very scene we are in, then we can intercept other infrastructures, as such I believe supernet will be of mutual benefit.
Because when CMBs rolls out we are first on market and that's our advantage over ETH, since they got the huge IPO advantage.
If we don't do what we can to stay viable, XCR will not persay "lose" because of it, we can always get free marketing from ETH if they suceed (like btc and ltc), but if we are first in showcasing the strengths of CMBs, we can be 1ST and compete & overcome money advantage, otherwise it will be harder, but not impossible.
Now I don't say they are the same projects, they are very different, but at first glance for someone outside it may seem so, and businesses/customers will be more reluctant to try out a project who's raised a few mil and have some media coverage, so I stand my view that we need some unorthodox marketing and openness to try out different things to achieve our goals, maybe we are aiming at a certain market today, but in a months time we realize we need to penetrate another market with CMBs innovations, f.ex.
I think advantage is being able to adapt, in constantly changing cryptomarket, ETH devs will probably be scared to touch code like BTC devs, with as many eyes on them as they have one wrong step nearly kills project, whilst we can be the hardworking underdogs willing to try out everything in power to suceed
