Title: Monero Promotions - Twitter. Now crowdsourcing content!
Post by: XMRpromotions on August 15, 2015, 09:26:56 PM
Hello Monero community. I appreciate all the helpful twitter ideas you have been sent me so far. Between bitcointalk, twitter, reddit and the getmonero forums it can be hard to respond to everyone in a timely manner.

I started this thread for 2 reasons.

First of all I want everyone to be able to suggest ideas for the @xmrpromotions twitter account (140 characters of less please)

Second I want the entire community to provide feedback on which ideas are good and which are bad. By providing feedback in advance you can help shape our social media image. Lets work together to increase adoption.




Keep the great ideas coming! #xmr

While most other coins have the good sense to use their own dedicated forums for this sort of minutiae, or failing that their ANN threads, you - in true Monero style - use it as an excuse to start yet another Monero thread in the altcoin discussion section. Classic XMR.



We do have our own forum here:
https://forum.getmonero.org/


Activity is gradually increasing there, but the truth is that bitcointalk is still more active.

For purposes of organization, I see nothing wrong with people sharing Monero twitter ideas here in once place

Maybe do a giveaway retweet promotion. Come up with some generic message like:

Quote
#Monero #XMR anonymous cryptocurrency. Secure, private, untraceable. <Insert XMR address here>
And send 0.5 or 1 monero to whoever retweets with more than 20 followers. Or something.

Agreed...enough is enough with all the XMR threads. Monero people do seem to spam non stop, and I think it makes the coin look bad because of it. It is almost like you are trying too hard. We are on Bitcointalk not Monerotalk so chill with the constant new threads.

disclaimer: I actually do hold some XMR - so I am not a hater.

Oh shit XMR doesn't have a GUI wallet? That is nuts that should definitely be priority number one or at least done before even launching the coin, no wonder it isn't doing better.

Just imagine how good it will do when it has the official enterprise level GUI on top of the community built GUIs already available.  :)

Honestly I will start stacking the shit out of it as soon as it has trezor support, I am just too concerned about stacking a coin without the hardware security and paper wallets are a bit of a pain. Official GUI is a step in that direction and I am for it.

Trezor support is challenging because of the computational requirements relative to the hardware, but people have been looking at for a while. Anyway, we have a main thread for stuff like that. Lets keep this thread on topic or let it die.

I like the idea but it is probably not a good idea to discuss it on bitcointalk due to the policies regarding giveaways. We can discuss this elsewhere

I like the idea but I assume you mean accountant instead of account? Depending on where the person lives crypto might not be taxable and the government would have no need to invade your privacy.

I hope this tweet is okay:

So it is a game character? I am confused so someones character died in game and they donated the dev team their in game estate?

That is my understanding. It was definitely a very generous donation which I am sure the development team is very grateful for.

Correct. There are in-game assets with significant value. I haven't gotten a full accounting yet but it is at least 7000+ XMR

Added to Cryptsy!

https://twitter.com/XMRpromotions/status/633446228945076224

I think we should also be nice to BBR and AEON and ask Cryptsy list them too

1. They both have community overlap with XMR
2. BBR has been nice to us (Reddit altcoin AMA, sharing Cryptsy news)
3. AEON is run by one of our great XMR devs Smooth
4. Of all the other CryptoNote besides XMR coins BBR and AEON have been the most transparent and fair in terms of launch, emission schedule etc.
5. Neither BBR and AEON are pure clones. They both have and/or are developing unique features some of which could be of interest to Monero
6. Poloniex (compared to Bittrex) has taught us that people like to trade CryptoNote coins where most of them are listed. If Cryptsy is going to add more they may as well start with BBR and AEON instead of certain premined/fastmined alternatives.

If you agree retweet this:

https://twitter.com/XMRpromotions/status/633447417879265280

I think this post is important. From Twitter we know that BCN is already asking for a listing. Lets push for BBR and AEON now to be added in addition to our favorite coins Monero!

Having monero suggested on https://www.privacytools.io/ would be good start. Also any privecy oriented service listed there could also benefit from monero.

I sugested addinng monero to www.privacytools.io few weeks ago, but for now nothing. More people asking about this would be useful. I also ask zenmate about monero. I'm premium user with them, so I said I probably wont be extending my membership as I dont want to use bitcoin for privacy reasons. However, for now they have no plans for monero, but again, if more ppl ask than maybe they have more reasons to support it. So it seems I will take my money somewhere else than zenmate for my next vpn.

I see it like this. If privacy and anonymity focused services/companies will not recognize importance in supporting monero, or any other privet coin, to protect their customers privacy and anonymity, no one else will.

Jamie Dimon (JP Morgan Chase CEO) thinks Bitcoin will be stopped. This is my response

https://twitter.com/XMRpromotions/status/662214071907807232

Bitcoin cannot be "stopped" either but it can be monitored without the permission of its users thanks to its transparent blockchain.

With Monero, transparency is still possible but only with the permission of the user by sharing their viewkey. Monero transactions are unlinkable and private by design. Monero is not only unstoppable but perfectly fungible.
