I'm working vigorously on PICISI, and always promoting. 

At PICISI here are our primary sponsorship opportunities:

1)  Host CC Sponsor -  One of the best ways to get your coin into the hands of someone is to simply give it to them, however the best way to get your coin used by the general public is to get your coin into their hands and have them use it in a real life application.  When an organizer starts a campaign at PICISI s/he has a choice of what CC currency type to select, the first choice is “sponsor currency” this is the organizer indicating a willingness to have his campaign sponsored at the host CC level.  Once the sponsor is finally selected that currency will be the currency that all other CCs donated to that campaign will be converted to for the duration of that particular campaign.  

This is major because everyone that visits that campaign will see your currency, but the will not only see but will likely use the funds to do business with one of the contractors at the site during the campaign.   If they don't use it during the campaign, over that month of close interaction with your currency they are very likely to want to learn more about your coin so that by the end of the campaign they will make the deliberate decision to download a wallet, open an exchange account, or simply convert out of the currency.   Regardless of what they actually choose to do your CC has certainly been branded into their mind in a very positive way.

2)  Campaign Sponsor - this is the most common type of sponsorship outside of PICISI;  the sponsor’s logo is affixed to the body of campaign text in an area set aside for campaign sponsors.  The higher your donation the higher your logo is located in the sponsorship logo area.

3)  Donor Perk Sponsor -  a sponsor provided perk escrowed by PICISI on behalf of a specific campaign where it will be used.   If the perk is not requested by any qualified donor it will be converted to host CC and donated to the campaign

4)  Advertising Perk Sponsor -  a sponsor provided perk escrowed by PICISI on behalf of a specific campaign to be used as a perk or returned to the sponsor.  If the perk is not requested by any qualified campaign donor the perk is sent back to the sponsor -- the perk is NOT donated to the campaign.

and

5)  Campaign Video Sponsor -  the first 5 second of the campaign organizer's video is allocated for the Campaign Video Sponsor, this is where the sponsor will indicate: “This video is brought to you by … [say sponsor's name, show sponsor's logo, and say sponsor's catchphrase]”

The editor of the article published here: http://www.crowdfundingpr.org/picisi/  removed many items, here is the same article in original form:

welcome aboard Psybits
Here is article #2 -- PICISI Administration article - http://www.crowdfundingpr.org/picisi-administration/
Article #3 is expected to be published on Tuesday it will be about 'PICISI Sponsorship'

My guess is the rescue flare (if they were available at that time).   Second guess is a buoy signalling a danger ahead (eg: the iceberg that was hit).

I'm working vigorously on PICISI, a crowdfunding site that accepts fiat and crypto, I expect to launch it in under a month.

At PICISI our mantra is 'Promotion, Promotion, Promotion' of our message, the message of our sponsors, and the message of the campaigns raising funds at our site.
In order to hit the road running we are actively building our sponsorship community.  I'm happy to announce that HBN is the newest member of our sponsorship community.

Here's a snapshot at some of our sponsorship opportunities:

1)  Host CC Sponsor -  One of the best ways to get your coin into the hands of someone is to simply give it to them, however the best way to get your coin used by the general public is to get your coin into their hands and have them use it in a real life application.  When an organizer starts a campaign at PICISI s/he has a choice of what CC currency type to select, the first choice is “sponsor currency” this is the organizer indicating a willingness to have his campaign sponsored at the host CC level.  Once the sponsor is finally selected that currency will be the currency that all other CCs donated to that campaign will be converted to for the duration of that particular campaign.

Updated Sponsor List:


Welcome aboard: HBN

The reason the words "instant conversion" is used, the reason it is so prominent, the reason why it's such a good selling point, and the reason why the program was created in the first place is all because the merchants as a whole don't want bitcoin, they want fiat.  The bigger and/or older the merchant is the more that will apply.  

How many different ways must you hear it to understand what your mind already knows to be true.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JP_I9zNRpEo
For hard heads they say it over and over many different ways, "instant conversion", "guaranteed exchange rate", "no risk of volatility", "we take all of the risk of btc price volatility", and "you get every dollar you earned"  now why do you think they said this some many times, so many different ways?  

"The point of bitpay is to get a specific value for your merchandise not higher or lower value."

Update of New Sponsor List:


Welcome aboard: GSM, EnergyCoin, and Magi.

BTC needs industry wide safety and security one way or another.  This: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=83794.0 is ridiculous. 

do the 100% cold storage, if someone wants a withdrawal do it manually, put a limit on the amount, frequency, etc  of withdrawals until the customers has been around awhile.  Give special attention to verified customers ... get the point  ...  get to know, and go slow

BTC needs safety and security, that's all.  What is that too much to ask for?

All of this work just for it to be lost in the blink of an eye, that's madness.  5 steps forward 10x then 40 steps backwards when a major scam takes place.

Cryptoine it the most recent known victim of safety issues, and they had extremely high security.   Now they are down for a couple months once bitten twice shy.


look at the site traffic for this bitcointalk and Market Cap it went down tremendously, all because the scams are too pervasive.   

cool, now you got the big guys involved, boy oh boy will they be surprised when they realize that Crypto manipulations can beat their manipulations.

Let's see how long it takes before they are either out of the crypto game or clean up the crypto world.


Anyway, would someone please tell me what a Bitcoin Investment Trust is, will do, and or expected to do?

Welcome to GSMcoin

I'm working vigorously on PICISI, a crowdfunding site that accepts fiat and crypto, it will launch in under a month, there will be many paid sponsorship opportunities when the site launches however prior to launch I have created 20 free sponsorship opportunities.  If you are interested in one of the remaining 12 11 spaces contact me before they are all gone.

At PICISI here are our primary sponsorship opportunities:

Things get more interesting for 'purpose coins'.  A purpose coin is a CC created for a specific purpose or niche, eg: EMC2, Metal, HYPER, GMC,  RPC, Gridcoin, EDU, FLDC,  etc ...  for these coins they may want to direct their sponsorship more broadly to whole categories as well as specific campaigns.  EMC2, Gridcoin, and FLDC will likely want affiliation with science research category; HYPER and GMC will want affiliation with gaming and game development categories, Metal will want affiliation with music category, EDU will want affiliation with Education category; SLR will want affiliation with the Renewable Energy category.   So that when someone is searching via the categories specific sponsorship logos will be part of the picture.

The inference is solid, the point of bitpay is "... instant conversion" clearly a primary selling point which is why it is both "instant" and "free".

The inference for the use of the word "instant" is to let the merchant know that they will get the value of the merchandise, not 'higher or lower' because of market fluctuation.

Of course it takes more than common sense to get it, but only an ounce of critical thinking.

I think you are conflating 'collaborative distance' (Erdős number or Kevin Bacon number) with 'degrees of separation'.   Clearly the 6 degrees of separation thing proves that we are all connected, however to what extent are we professional connected in a meaningful way to some industry icon?

Selection of Satoshi is weak for a number of reasons; you want to pick a person that has done lots of projects (erdos did very many projects) in their field the word "prolific" must be fitting; not someone that has done a single or hand full of projects then called it a day.  Ideally, you want someone that did lots of varying kinds of projects, all over the world with all different people over decades, such that they actually shaped the industry on both macro and micro levels; this is why Bacon is fitting for his industry.  

Nevertheless the connection can't be casual, or incidental it must be meaningful and documented.  Just because Satoshi paid his light bill doesn't connect him to the utility company in terms of collaborative distance, additionally consultation is not collaboration, and 'dedication to' doesn't mean 'partnership with'.  

Find someone that has his hands in a whole bunch of progressively meaningful projects, the twins, and roger ver, come to mind because I've read lots of stories where their names constantly pop up.  Andres is everywhere but I got the distinct impression that he purposefully stays away from connecting with projects in a meaningful way to keep his name clear of all of the scheming wackos.  

So my question is, who in the community is a partner in the most CC industry projects?  Of that group how many of the projects vary in category?  How successful are the projects?   How diverse are the partnerships?   etc ...  

Sounds like their money is tied up and they rather not tie up funds in btc if it just looks like it is going down and they have no buyers.  Contact them you will likely be able to get what you want because it's not an inventory deal.

It really depends on what you are advertising.  Best to advertise where your market target is.  Like most of the advertising motor oil, gasoline, and tires, at NASCAR races.

If you are wanting to advertise CC the best place is Bitcointalk.org, secondarily my guess is Market Cap but I could be wrong, check Alexa.com to see where people go when they leave bitcointalk.org

The next major factor is cost, if you look at the cost of advertising it might eliminate your top choices. Nevertheless #11 might do what you need to have done.

As you know I'm working on PICISI, for those who are not aware PICISI will be a crowdfunding website that will accept fiat as well as cryptocurrency for campaign donations.

prob tech dept on strike, tired of asking for upgrades for years and complaining about vulnerabilities, got fed up and shut the whole thing down.

For $125K they might as well buy a whole new site with all of the bells and whistles, they should also consult with other school districts to see what they are doing right and to warn those with major vulnerabilities too.

Daily cold storage backups make sense too this way if you get robbed it's only the max of 1 day's worth of info.
