Title: Petitioning Cryptsy, Btc-e and others for Monero(XMR) Post by: thefunkybits on August 09, 2014, 02:55:22 PM THE REWARD HAS NOW BEEN INCREASED TO 0.4 XMR...PLEASE FIND MORE INFO BELOW:
Monero users: I would like to start a petition to Cryptsy, btc-E, OKcoin, Bitstamp, Coindesk, Forbes and others to support Monero (XMR). Personally I trust Cryptsy more-so than some of these other exchanges and I'd like to trade my Monero on a more secure and liquid platform. Coindesk seems to be blatantly censoring XMR and we should let them know how we feel as well. If you share similar feelings or simply want cryptsy and others to get behind Monero (XMR) please tweet them and tell them why they should add Monero (XMR)! A total of 10 XMR will be pledged towards this campaign funded by myself, Nekomata and saddambitcoin. If anyone else wants to chip in, please PM me THE REWARD HAS NOW BEEN INCREASED TO 0.4 XMR RULES: 1. TAG AT LEAST 3 - @cryptsy, @btcecom, @okcoinBTC, @Bitstamp @coindesk, @forbes, @CryptoCobain IN A TWEET MENTIONING MONERO (XMR) 2. HASHTAG #MTC (Monero Twitter Campaign) TO VERIFY 3. SCREENSHOT YOUR TWEET AND PM ME THE PICTURE AND YOUR XMR ADDRESS If you would like to donate to this cause just PM me (maybe the reward could be raised or could fund a longer campaign) Send Tweets to: EXCHANGES @cryptsy @btcecom @okcoinBTC @Bitstamp @btcchina @vaultofsatoshi MEDIA OUTLETS @coindesk @maxkeiser @aantonop @jonmatonis @CryptoCobain @forbes if you think anyone else should be on this list just mention it below and I'll try to add it asap! Title: Re: Petitioning Major outlets and Exchanges for Monero (XMR) Post by: claimore on August 09, 2014, 10:02:29 PM Done and done. Why are they not adding it yet?
Title: Re: Petitioning Major outlets and Exchanges for Monero (XMR) Post by: rikkejohn on August 09, 2014, 10:02:59 PM Maybe you're not shills after all, it could be a cult .... maybe you should move to Guyana and build Monerotown.
Worth a shot! Title: Re: Petitioning Major outlets and Exchanges for Monero (XMR) Post by: fluffypony on August 09, 2014, 10:36:08 PM Maybe you're not shills after all, it could be a cult .... maybe you should move to Guyana and build Monerotown. Worth a shot! So let me get this straight. A group of people work to improve something from a reference implementation to a point where it actually has utility and value. Along the way they garner attention from people of all sorts with all levels of intelligence, education, and background. Those people express - sometimes quite vocally - their enthusiasm for the work that the budding group are doing. You label their enthusiasm "shilling" and "a cult". Don't you think that's a bit disrespectful to those people genuinely trapped in religious cults today? Don't you think your overly liberal use of terms that are clearly not applicable does nothing to prove your point, and only serves to reduce your own credibility? If you want to tackle Monero, tackle us on a technical level. Point out where we are abjectly and unequivocally wrong on some technical approach. Show us the fundamental errors we've made with regards to implementation or cryptographic primitives or user threat modes or attack surfaces. Beyond that? Let the cryptocurrency live or die on its own merit if it is not fundamentally technically broken.

No Title: Re: Petitioning Major outlets and Exchanges for Monero (XMR) Post by: fluffypony on August 10, 2014, 07:50:55 AM No You're still not demonstrating even the slightest understanding of Monero's technical underpinnings. If you want to have a discussion, tell us about our technical shortcomings, not the actions of users. That sort of butthurt strategy hasn't stopped Apple from being successful (in spite of anyone who uses an Apple product being labelled a "fanboi"), and it won't stop Monero from being useful and useable.

I think they should be added to the list @btcecom Title: Re: Petitioning Major outlets and Exchanges for Monero (XMR) Post by: Brilliantrocket on August 10, 2014, 07:24:09 PM Why? Focus on getting your coin to usability, at some point volume will reach a critical mass and exchanges will add it. Focusing on more exchanges while your coin is still just a speculative vehicle just makes it look like your priorities are in the wrong place.

Focus on getting your coin to usability, at some point volume will reach a critical mass and exchanges will add it. Focusing on more exchanges while your coin is still just a speculative vehicle just makes it look like your priorities are in the wrong place. From the Monero OP on Bitcointalk (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=583449.0) - the core team is (in no particular order) - tacotime, eizh, smooth, fluffypony, othe, davidlatapie, NoodleDoodle. If anyone else decides to embark on an initiative relating to Monero we are certainly not able to stop them, nor would we want to impinge on their freedom to pursue whatever goal they choose. If you read the Monero Missives and watch our Developer Fireside Chat from the other day it should be apparent and clear that the core team is focused on usability and other fundamental Monero issues, but thank you for re-enforcing that we are on the right path in doing so.

That sort of butthurt strategy hasn't stopped Apple from being successful (in spite of anyone who uses an Apple product being labelled a "fanboi"), and it won't stop Monero from being useful and useable. I don't believe there is a need for its technical underpinnings, or if there is, then it is not worth drawing an analogy with Apple, which plays the CSR card all the time. You can't really do that with Monero. I'm not saying it's not clever technology, just that it's not a fit for the vast majority of people. So what is the point of it? You can answer that question without referring to the rest of the altcoin world and its shortcomings. *Edit "jucarpau: venture, my friend is running the campaign, Free XMR for tweeting. $.50 per tweet lol its more profitable than mining."

Being smug and snarky is easy; understanding new technology like XMR's ring signatures is hard. People said, and still say, the exact same thing about Bitcoin. Maybe you should move to Guyana and build Bitopia. ;) I agree that paid hype is unseemly if done incorrectly, but fluffy's campaign is organic and honest. Instead of nagging lagging exchanges, why not help Poloniex advertise and reward them for building a supremely XMR-centric exchange? BTC-E will come around when the right oligarchs decide XMR is a good investment/store of value. Don't hold your breath (or stamp your feet) while we wait for the inevitable.

I will add another 5 XMR to the campaign budget. (please PM me with your monero address) edit: I don't think Coindesk is outright censoring Monero, rather I think they are not yet taking it seriously. Either that or they are keeping quiet while they accumulate. Monero is not currently at that user friendly stage where I think it would be able to maximize benefit from a PR campaign, but it will come.

XMR addresses this issue by creating trustless mixing. Spending some time to learn about the technology is warranted even for a competitor. Title: Re: Petitioning Major outlets and Exchanges for Monero Post by: saddambitcoin on August 11, 2014, 03:05:33 AM Also I think we should target some of the b-list crypto twitter influentials...
Perhaps others can identify the top names but people like Crypto Cobain and the like. Title: Re: Petitioning Major outlets and Exchanges for Monero Post by: pa on August 11, 2014, 05:40:17 AM What has Andreas Antonopoulos said about Monero, if anything?

I was also thinking we should aim high in our targets, and not just go for exchanges/media outlets that serve altcoins. What about Bitstamp? BTC China? Coinbase? Forbes? We should also reach out on darknet marketplace forums - let's educate their users on the privacy benefits of Monero. I'm not a regular navigator of those places but perhaps someone else out there can join in?

Title: Re: Petitioning Major outlets and Exchanges for Monero Post by: dEBRUYNE on August 15, 2014, 10:10:48 PM Some one here able to make a standard brief/format that we can send to the darkmarkets and exchanges. I am sure some darkmarkets are interested in monero since its absolutely anonymous. I think btc-e would be very interested to, as being the "shady exchange". I'm not that good at english, otherwise I would do it myself. Willing to donate a bounty to this, if other members contribute also..
Title: Re: Petitioning Major outlets and Exchanges for Monero Post by: thefunkybits on August 15, 2014, 10:33:42 PM I'm not too familiar with the dark markets these days, but if anyone wants to step up to the plate on that front I fully support that and would include them in our campaign

Title: Re: Petitioning Cryptsy, Btc-e and others for Monero(XMR) Post by: ArticMine on November 30, 2015, 07:24:37 PM Monero has been trading on Cryptsy for a while but the volume is very low. https://www.cryptsy.com/markets/view/XMR_BTC (https://www.cryptsy.com/markets/view/XMR_BTC) I suspect because of situations like this; https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=421615.msg12913456#msg12913456 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=421615.msg12913456#msg12913456).
