If everyone is interested I can act as the escrow for this. Funds would be released upon obtaining a workable beta of FreeMarket as either voted by 2/3 of the contributors or we can setup an arbitrator to define if the beta is "workable" or not, whichever method the contributors favor. I would also contribute 50 XMR to be released upon a workable beta of Freemarket for XMR, which an extra 50 XMR upon a full release. My contribution offer holds whether or not I become the escrow.

I would be donating a significant amount of time to it and it would be a huge positive in terms of making Monero more of a mainstream alternative to bitcoin. If I'm putting all the work into it, it'd be nice to have someone at least pay for just the domain and partial hosting expenses.

I'm glad you made a Monero website, but that thing in its current form is useless.


Edit: Forgot to mention that I can release a pretty decent site in 1 weeks time. Max 2 weeks. A good face for Monero is.....good

We are just using 5 sig figs

BUY @ 313.33

Hey guys it seems like there may be many different versions of the Monero website such as the dev team's website, the MEW website and others. I'm looking to see if I can raise $70-$100 in either BTC or XMR to buy a domain and cover some of the web host cost. If I receive the funding I will start working on a brand new Monero website that will be visually appealing, it will inform the general public of what Monero is, how to get started, guides on setting up a wallet, mining, current XMR exchanges, emission information, what's currently in development and just a bunch of other information for your average joe and even computer nerd to get started with Monero.


My XMR address is: 4AGDFtUJggTcdMqCefhWzQ9FcmfnPohHiZBQMzsVk5XbE9bPogW8UB9bbzWEQrYXcDQRYh7oyuHF2CM 78oaD4FXbVCfnmwF
My BTC address is: 14qx4wQbKn8gm75E3EJeaoP5kuHNomjWgf

I know there is very few people that are willing to donate to support various efforts that could potentially take BTC and Monero to the next level, but I figure it's worth a shot to see what kind of response I can get from the XMR community. Lets finally try to get a nice website setup for our cryptocurrency




P.S. Also if you donate please leave a post or shoot me a PM so I know who to thank later.

Send it to a friend to teach them about bitcoin.

Edit: TIL that JD is still around, and now uses CLAMS? WTF

I think right now we are nearing an end to the blow off phase and may re-enter the smart money phase again in the next 6 months (my speculation). But only time will tell.

Even so, that's a start.

Hello,

So I've been on my soap box for a few weeks informing anyone who will listen about Bitcoin, bitcoin wallet apps (mainly mobile), its use case with remittances especially to the philliapines via coins.ph etc. So far this week I've got 5 newly interested parties, who now all have bitcoin wallets with small amounts of bitcoin. All of which are planning to "read up more about it" and seem enthusiastic. 1 person who is now using coins.ph/bitcoin to make their monthly remittances. And 1 person who has now also got their significant other into bitcoin using some of the coins I gave them.

To spark interest in the technology and show people how easy it is to use I've been giving them $3 each when they setup a new blockchain.info wallet app on their phone. Once they realize that there is no middle man, the transactions are super fast and have almost no fee, they are all hooked.

I plan to continue my efforts to raise bitcoin awareness this year and plan to give $3 to all new bitcoin users that I meet in person.

With this being said if anyone would like to contribute to my efforts I am accepting donations here: 19psYZCYpe1QMdhTr8gDR6cNy8JUyJm685


I will be continuing my efforts whether or not I receive any financial assistance in doing so, but some crowdfunding of increasing the amount of bitcoin users would be a great addition to my efforts.



If you'd like to "donate knowledge" I'm also interested in some of the main methods on which you get people interested in bitcoin? And how often can you convince people to download wallets and obtain bitcoin? Also any ideas of where people could immediately spend their $3 of bitcoins on? I always tell them about eGifter, Gyft, Newegg, Overstock, but usually $3 is too small of a purchase so they just hold on to them and I encourage them to send bitcoins to their other family members.



I'll be making occasional updates on newly acquired bitcoin enthusiasts

Put me on the scoreboard please. I instantly buy all the coins my $100 can when the "market opens".

I've been in contact with them actually and from what I've been told they have a 1/2 way built template that they want to launch at some point in the future. They have a lot more technical stuff on their plates, which is why I have offered to offer some simple web design support. I'm not saying I'm a website god, but I can sure make it a lot better than it is now.

For instance on the home page annoucements it says "Announcements^

[Logo contest - till 28 April - bounty 300 XMR]
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=580155"

April 28 was a lonnnng time ago. Site just hasn't been updated or maintained.

To the devs,

The Monero.cc website can use major improvements. The Monero forums are terrible and barley useable. I propose that the domain be transfered to me and I will personally host the Monero website as well as be the one that upkeeps the forums and implements website appearance improvements. If you guys already have a new template started feel free to send that to me as well.

The website needs help and needs to appear legitimate, if you guys are busy at least get some community members that are willing to work on it.....to actually work on it.

Right now this is the only thing I can offer this community.

Welcome and thanks for your post. I too believe that bitcoin is the future of the financial industry and I am happy to be apart of the process so early on.

That does look impressive.

Would you mind sharing the purpose of this?

Yep. I'll prob be buying this evening. Hoping for. 0014

Edit if any early adopters want to sell me XMR at 0.0010-0.0011 I will love you forever. I only need about 300-700 right now.  They will be held, not dumped. PM me if you want to remain secretive.

/Looking at you Risto

I'm sorry Adam your thread is now nearly useless. It does however focus most of the naysayers in one place , acting as a fly trap if you will.

If you are antibitcoin I ask that whatever bears still have coins.....please form a coordinated dump so my now **Daily**fixed USD buys get me more coins. --100% serious, please dump all you have and cut your losses

Did you buy high, sell low? Idk if you did or not but it always surprises me when people use this tactic. With the advent of instant online buy/sells people panic much more easily than when brokers were required in the past I'd imagine.

I'm glad it's coming up in discussion, but this sounds more negative: "Wilkins says the increasingly popular digital currencies are not yet big enough to pose material risk to Canada’s financial stability as a whole – but she notes the Bank of Canada is watching"

"She says the Bank of Canada has been working with the federal government to modernize Canada’s oversight of the payment method." --Sounds like more regulation as compared to adoption.

CBC had a more positive spin: "Wilkins says bitcoin and other digital currencies have a long way to go before they can truly circumvent central banks, since the daily number of transactions is still relatively low compared to debit and credit cards".

Guess we'd have to listen to the entire discussion to truly understand her opinion on digital currencies.

Thanks for linking the articles though. It's good to know that these topics are coming up within different countries governments.
