1  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN][MIN] Minerals - POS. Fair Distribution. E-SPORTS BETTING TEST WENT LIVE! on: August 03, 2014, 09:23:47 PM
I've made new posts on Team Liquid and Reddit to inform people of the tournament resuming tomorrow at 12PM PDT (UTC -7) on twitch.tv/droopytown.

If you guys could help upvote/bump/comment the threads that'd be great.

Okay. I have to admit Crayon and Droopy did a great job, and Minerals team fucked up big time.
It is what it is, but we will fix things by monday.
Also we will fund next tournament ourself. We are not giving things up.
Despite the service going down with traffic, the tournament is a success I'd say.
The audience increased from 153 viewers to over ~560 viewers at some point, while betting was impossible. It's proof that you guys managed to deliver a product for which a high demand exists. I've really enjoyed it.

Tried to record a video of Droopytown's casting as well, but I turned into some trouble with xvidcap & pavucontrol & stuff on Linux ^^"

I should be asleep at this time, but did write a small post on Morning Minerals: http://[Suspicious link removed]/1qS0hoQ

By the way... do you have a chat log about this whole 'science' conversation? ;-)

No need to record, the entire event today is saved here http://www.twitch.tv/droopytown/b/553828092 as a VOD and I will at some point break it up by game and upload it to my Youtube channel at http://www.youtube.com/droopytown.

No need to get too down over the betting issues today. With two days time, we can hype up the next half of the tournament and viewer interest will be better retained as there will be less downtime between games given the double elimination bracket. Also, we may have more organizations or teams wanting to collaborate in covering this event. For instance, Millenium was covering our tournament in French today and I actually received a message from a Cascade representative asking to cast the tournament in Russian but I didn't see it until too late.

Hello, hello!

Just posted a new Reddit thread right now to promote tomorrow's big tournament! I've added new information about two new Minerals sponsors who invested in the coin yesterday and caused the price jump. Also Dayshi's team Millennium is going to offer a French-language stream tomorrow to cover the event.

Takes you 15 seconds to upvote, assuming you aren't already logged in to an existing account. To paraphrase JFK's cliche, ask not what Minerals can do for you but what you can do for Minerals. This is YOUR investment and you can directly affect it. Don't sit around in these forums griping about this and that. Have some positivity, tell everyone you know, and upvote!

Don't expect to much.

I checked out that droopy caster and he barely has any viewers...

Need to hype the tournament via TL.

I would absolutely agree with you that having a famous co-caster or even solo caster would be much better for the Minerals cryptocurrency cause. Believe me we've looked but it costs a lot of money to get a well-known caster to cast an ambitious tournament with this many games, not to mention we've contacted two who simply don't want to take on any casting jobs that aren't funded by their personal sponsors or employers. I'm doing this with little to no compensation for my time or effort so for now we'll just have to settle for helping each other out.

This seems like a really unique opportunity for people to be able to directly affect their investment, something you cannot say about most other kinds of investments out there, and how you can do that is continue to help promoting the tournament. There are only 11 points on our Reddit thread right now after three days, so very few people here are helping to upvote. It takes 15 seconds to make a Reddit account if you don't have one and you don't need to even verify an email address.

Reddit advertising can be gold but a complete waste if neglected. Consider the 15 seconds of your time a valuable way to contribute to your investment and the Minerals project. Ultimately with the kinds of players we've arranged to play, fans would be willing to watch regardless. If that doesn't happen, inferior promotion would have had more of an effect than anything else. If this Reddit post doesn't gain any more traction by tonight I'm going to post a new one tomorrow and we hope we'll get more support there.
