I agree, we (the MNE community) should crowd-fund the marketing. We just need person of trust to create the donation address (preferably BTC) and a plan on how to actually spend the donations. (maybe people who work in branding/advertising could give advice on what to do).
heres an idea for you. One way to advertise a platform such as MNE is to show the projects that have been created from it. The best publicity is actual use and two projects come to mind. PR network and 300 token. Those two projects were made with minereum or used minereum to start their ventures. Those two are good starting points to advertise.
