Yes they will be coached on the basic before the event.


That's not enough. Scripted responses is not enough. How many times have you interacted with somebody that was scripted and didn't actually understand anything? It's maddening and turns you off to the product/company which provided you that shitty experience.


You need some BlackCoin enthusiasts on the team, too. You need people who can jump in and really talk to those guys that are going to have questions that go off the script.

I think the idea of this event is being lost on trying to educate people. We are not trying to educate people on BlackCoin or crypto. We are creating buzz around the brand and using Wall Street as a backdrop. The sell sheets will be written in such a way it will answer any questions someone might have.

I recommend you gather anyone near nyc that into blackcoin to come join you. Get a few extra shirts and and have a few core people that truly understand crypto.

Hell, I'll be in NYC in the next week or so, although that might be a little early for you.

If others want to fly to NYC and join in that would be great! But I can guarantee it will not be needed. The immediate focus will be on the girls, and then later when the girls wear off then people (most men) will read the sell sheets and play around with the cards.

I live in NYC and work in entertainment. 1 suggestion, spend an hour or two running around to the different drama schools, post casting call on bulletin board. Offer a stipend, emphasize that it's a filmed promo event (on-camera opportunity!). You'll be drowning in beautiful girls in minutes.

Part of the budget is to pay the girls. I do not believe in people working for free. But you have great ideas and I replied to your PM Smiley

give them the option to be paid in blackcoin Smiley

Iconic,

You better come up with some interesting soundbits too.

Be prepared to answer questions like

Why are you doing this?

What is your relation to blackcoin?

etc. A good soundbit could make or break this campaign.

BlackCoin Is Going To Wall Street

This is an outline of what my wife and I have been planning for a few weeks. Please take a few minutes to read.

I have been promising something big in May, and today I have decided to present my project to the community so together we can make it a reality! My wife and I have been working on this project behind the scenes, and it has never been done before in crypto. We want BlackCoin to be the first Cypto Currency to pull it off!

So what is the big idea?

We want to hire 50 attractive women dressed in BlackCoin T-Shirts, and for 2 hours these women will converge on Wall Street and hand out Wall Street Edition BlackCoin cards and sell sheets describing BlackCoin.

Everything I have asked this community to do has lead us to this moment and now it is time to explain my master plan.

1. I rallied this community together to fund the press release projects so we can introduce the BlackCoin brand to mainstream media outlets, and at the same time learn how to focus our energy towards a single objective.

2. I created the BlackCoin card because I knew in the future we needed something "physical" to allow people to touch and feel. It is hard to get people to believe in something that only exists virtually. The cards are loaded with software that will make it easy to buy, manage, and trade BlackCoins.

3. I rallied this community to contact strategic companies like Vault Of Satoshi because I knew for us to succeed we needed a direct Fiat to BC service here in North America.

4. Now that step 1 -3 has been accomplished,  everything is in place for the main event.

What will the main event accomplish?

This plan is to kill 3 birds with one stone.

a. The cards and sell sheets will introduce new investors to BC. Although Wall Street is the location we do not care if "whales" on Wall Street invests in BC or not. Wall Street is just the backdrop. We want BC to be associated with wealth!

b. We will attract the attention of mainstream media. Not everyday 50 beautiful women dressed alike converge on Wall Street. The event will be covered by local and international media outlets. My wife will be calling media outlets the day before and during the event.

c. We will be making crypto history and we will show the rest of the crypto community how determined we are to make BlackCoin #1.

What is needed to make this a success?

Casting studio rental for day (Cast girls for rvent)
50 Girls for 2 hours
50 T-Shirts
Water For Girls
1000 Cards + Retail Packaging
1000 Sell Sheets
Misc expenses: transportation..snacks...etc..etc

Total budget: $9540
Approximately 73,000 BC at the current exchange rate.


Note: I am not profiting off the cards we get made for this event, these will be community made cards at the wholesale factory price. I set 1000 cards as the minimum, but if we can raise more than $9540 I will get as many cards made as the donations allow.

Note: If we can raise $12,000 or more I will be able to hire a professional camera crew to follow the girls around. We can use that video to plaster all over the web and go viral!

This community has wanted something huge and I strongly believe this is what we need. Our recent partnerships with various companies have been great to make BC stronger, but it has done very little to get the  "BlackCoin brand out to the mainstream. We can have all the partnerships in the world, but if no one knows about us then partnerships mean very little. I think this event will give us the most ROI, and this will be the tipping point for BlackCoin.

To make this happen we need to raise the money by May 17th, and my wife and  I would like to do the event either the 29th or the 30th of May. If you have any questions please feel free to ask, and all comments and suggestions are welcome since it will take this entire community to make this happen.


Below is the donation address (Please make sure you use the addresses from this original post or my signature only. Previously scammers have attempted to replace donation addresses with their own addresses when replying to the post.


BC Contribution Address: BQQsUdYaqCGUDhdXPADto1gKwvEA2a92TP

As suggested I have added other coin addresses:

BTC: 12jhNVMj5kk7akem2wxDwnpQvGdro3NzJ4
LTC: LT4hiypMuPLYQT2gu3gdMjvAMqhC1w12yJ
DOGE: DRJnZVTP64phDfdoWu5VnKUUSM7p8Tf4MT




Interesting idea iconic. Not something I would do, but it could generate a massive amount of interest if its picked up by any news stations.

Blackcoin, the next Bitcoin.

Some thoughts,

Will there information people to answer questions?

Will you be able to sell blackcoin & bitcoin on the spot to those interested?

Have you contacted a ad company that has done this thing before?

50 girls seems like quite a lot ! could you achieve the same thing with 20?

Anyway you look at it, Blackcoin is getting some serious investment.

Pro-Tip For Merchant Adoption


There is no reason to cold call merchant adoptions, sure getting NEW merchants who have never dealt with Digital Currency is a great thing to bolster the BC community.


However


Don't cold call merchants for an attempt to get acceptance, use the long existing laundry list of merchants who ALREADY accept BTC, and get them to also accept BC!

That is the fastest way to get the ball rolling behind more and more merchant adoption; get the early adopters who are already being proactive in the space, and then get the smaller fish, the mom and pop stores, that shitty coffee shop that you like so much for some reason or the other; GET THEM to accept BC, but only after you've exhausted pre-existing adopters.


Just my 2cents.



McKie

This is the wrong way to go about it and your vision is way to narrow.

 Merchants would only get access to an additional 12k wallets currently. which is rather lame. a Merchant that accepts bitcoin can already receive around 99% of all crypto users, if not 100% since if you have crypto you have bitcoin or can use it. Nothing new there.

We want current crypto accepting merchants to switch to BC on their own accord. Create an atmosphere of success, don't beg for it. If you want to spam them that's great but i don't see them making any more sales because of it.

This isn't just about the success of blackcoin, its about the success of crypto in general. Coinkite solves so many issues.

Why focus on the .01% of businesses that have already switched to crypto?

 FOCUS on the 99.99% that are left, Coinkite makes it easy !

They are just sitting there on a silver platter waiting to be taken. SPREAD what you know about crypto and help the adoption.



My vision is not narrow -- the avenue by which BC will have to travel down to get large market adoption is LONG and narrow. The point is, to stress the added advantages of BC, over BTC -- and how in the long term we hope for BC to overtake BTC. If they were smart enough to start accepting crypto in the beginning, they are smart enough to adopt the new kid in town with a more mass-adoptable image, and lightning fast transactions speeds (compared to Bitcoin).

Why stand in the wake and shadow of Bitcoin, when we can over shroud and steal the #1 spot.

Thinking bigger is better. But, I'd rather Blackcoin be the name in the news, not Bitcoin.

We create the appropriate infrastructures, they will come.


McKie

Because you can't just smack someone in the face with blackcoin and expect it to sink it every time. a more subtle approach can be more effective. You have coinkite that puts bitcoin/blackcoin/litecoin side by side. The benefits of blackcoin become much more obvious and you can spend your blackcoin anywhere that coinkite is accepted.

It's like inception, it has to appear like its their own idea. Blackcoin is the dream within a dream(coinkite) within a dream (bitcoin).

Blackcoin can be known for growing crypto as a whole, and not only as a value sink(which is not bad).

Big Things Happening

With great things happening, the Blackcoin Card, the multi-pool back up and running, the addition to Coinkite, things are looking good for Blackcoin.  However, we have to remember that in order to be utilized as a currency, we NEED merchant adoption.   Without places to spend BC, it can only grow to a certain point before it's essentially just being traded back-and-forth.

We have plenty of great people in our community willing to help out, passionate about Blackcoin.  If everyone here starts emailing merchants, chatting up store owners IRL, etc, the exposure to the merchant world is going to project BC until the position we all know it's capable of.

Let's do this BC, let's get out there and find places to spend all our hard earned Blackcoin!

Yep. It's easy too. For example, I asked the owner of these villas in Jamaica if they would accept Blackcoin and they said they would (and any other major cryptos) I'm looking forward to spending some vacation time there  when BC rises in value. Cool They already advertised that they accepted BTC, LTC and DOGE.

http://islandvillasjamaica.com

This is kind of a chicken or egg scenario.

There are limited amount of people using Blackcoin. With around 12000 wallets containing amounts over 1 BC, there really isn't enough market to justify mass adoption, yet.

Without more places to spend it, there really is no reason to do much more then speculate. Litecoin has this issue and since its really no more interesting then bitcoin is going to be its demise.

This is why Coinkite is so powerful. Since you can use bitcoin/blackcoin/litecoin interchangeably, and since Blackcoin is the fastest by far and has almost no inflation it has the most room to grow as a currency. Blackcoin really shines once you start comparing the main features.

If you want more blackcoin adoption, getting shops to use COINKITE is the way to go. Coinkite will even pay you some of the proceeds for every shop you sign up. Since bitcoin is still numoro uno the shop can use any of the currencies without any hassle and is not committed to 1 crypto's life or death.

Less risk for the company, more adoption for blackcoin and cryptos in general.

Stop emailing shops about blackcoin and start emailing shops about coinkite. They will understand the interact-like terminal and the enterprise website. They don't have to learn the wallet right away.



Absolutely. I love their web wallets as well. Does anyone know how safe web wallets are in general and CoinKite's in particular? It would seem to me that if cryptos are going to be mainstream then something like a web wallet is necessary.

Copy pasta from : https://coinkite.com/faq/about

just to add, blackcoin is not in anyway tied to the success of coinkite but coinkite could be a massive catalyst if it gets mass adoption.

30 days people.

Time to get off your butts and stop whining in the forum.

What is Mywl.lt?

Mywl.lt has been the official, secure online wallet for Digitalcoin, Argentum, and Securecoin for the past 6 months. 0 security issues and 100% up-time have made us stand out from the crowd.

Other web wallets offer similar services, but don't be fooled into depositing your coins to a site that can't be trusted!

We require 2 Factor Authentication for all logins, and email confirmation to create an account. This means that you can still remain anonymous, but have a wonderfully secure online wallet where you can have access to your coins from anywhere you have internet!

You can see our security explanation here: Mywl.lt/security

Want to send coins to a friend? With Mywl.lt you can send funds to any other user using just their account name!

Each users account gets 5 votes every 12 hours, and guests can vote once every 12 hours. Alternatively you can buy votes by donating at a rate of 0.0002 BTC per vote.

So come on over to Mywl.lt/voting and vote for Blackcoin today!

Less than 3 days till the first coin is chosen![/center]

Why use mywl.it when Blackcoin can used on an enterprise grade website @ www.coinkite.com June 1st?

I'm asking, because anyone who signs up to coinkite will quickly realize how powerful it is and why blackcoin is a sleeping giant.

well i asked this question before.. but if i order now do i still get a limited edition? still not sure im happy about the chip.. will it be forever just be a dud chip or can it be programmed later?? as u can probably tell im purely practical at my core. the card does look nice tho.

No you will get the First Edition cards and the First Edition will most likely not have the simulated chip to disquisition from the Limited Edition cards.

sweet. limited edition will actually be limited.

How long will the first edition versions be for? 3 months?

are you an idiot? I'm seriously asking since the photo's clearly show the cards in plastic.

Or maybe you just don't know the meaning of the world clearly. try google, which can be found at www.google.com

guys, report posts, do not respond. this is really basic stuff.


Anyway,

I'm looking for bc to make a move sometime within the next week or 2. Current holders watchers seem very content to grab up any coins in the 30-32k region on low volume.

and by low volume I still mean top 4 or top 3 volume so its not really low.


But when your only trading 5% of your market cap or less it means that the current holders content with the current price and are expecting a rise. bcpool will come back online and add its buy pressure while bc infrastructure is built.

im using cryptoalts.com until bc pool is backup.

all alts seems down as btc is down, but I do like how bc has recovered to 30-32k region on low volume. 95% of current holders seem very content to wait this out.
