To boost volume? Are you fucking serious? Maybe to gain widespread adoption and have a more evenly distribution as a result of more people getting involved?
Yup we're on a cryptoforum! And lo and behold many people here have designer/programming/whatever different backgrounds!
And also, you don't know which one will turn out the best now do you? On the one hand you have a professional design community and on the other you might have designers with a interest for crypto.
You could even make a BCT post redirecting good designers to 99design.
But nah, let's assume everyone who wants to help in on the project are "greedy" who only care about price and volume! And let us shut out the same community that will use it because they are dumber than us!
My last post in this you fucking dipshit. People like you are the aids of all cryptocommunities. 15 year old kids who think they know best about everything in the world.
Nah, I'll let you get back to being 10 guys participating in this coins because you are "too good" to get involved with anyone else and watch you shoot down every possible suggestion someone who isn't on the "foundation" makes. Don't bother replying I'm done
What are you on about? Firstly, I'm not part of the Crypti Foundation in any way or form, the fact that you think I am part of the foundation because I disagreed with your idea, and rated it as unprofessional or "shot it down" as you put it, shows your sentiment towards the rest of the actual Foundation.
Secondly you, yourself said that the design contest would be used an an avenue for exposure, then you implied that there is no volume on the markets by saying : "If you haven't noticed there is like 10 people trading this.", the fact that you are looking at this from a market perspective shows that you have no interest in the design process at all. I don't see how a simple design contest leads to :
"gain[ing] widespread adoption and have a more evenly distribution as a result of more people getting involved"
Thirdly have you seen any of the design contests threads? I'm a designer myself, though no longer freelance, and if you look at those type of threads most of the entries are simply atrocious. Any coin which has to resort to posting logo design contests on a crypto-currency forum screams unprofessional-ism, did you ever see coins such as Ethereum, MaidSafe, BitSharesX ever posting logo design contests? To date the only "successful" design contest that I've seen has been the strict NEM Logo Committee threads, and even there, the chosen NEM logo was designed by an internal full-time designer. There is only one real designer of note on BCT, that being BitCrea.
All of your arguments lead back to one place, price and volume. If you actually cared about the design process you would let professionals with backgrounds in design be entrusted with the logo of a major crypto-currency, rather than MS Paint junkies looking to score a quick buck from bounties.
But hey, if you want to resort to swearing and insults to get your point across, if I'm the AIDS of cryptoccurrencies, then you are Ebola.
