Actually i don't have all the answerers m8.
But no one bothered to ask before the decision was taken about the PR company.

I like the fact there is now a thread on Reddit for input, sadly I think it should have come prior to commitment to such a large single $$ project.

I am still not convinced by the 3rd party PR company hence you have no donation from me as yet ,but we are here to be convinced and open to discuss if it IS the best option.

Sadly i feel its a little like locking the door after the horse has bolted.

+1 i like that fact your digging for transparency also.

Nothing wrong with the way you have done it - even the other fund state value in $US, so they must have converted to FIAT.

Just keep up updating us how close to the target we are in $$ terms so we can figure out if we can hit it.

BTW if we miss it due to low donations, then what ? (don't refund but maybe a time extension or a water down version??)

thanks

Different age, not blinded by their past techniques - exactly why technology companies recruit from universities. They then are managed. You think a PR company will have seasoned PR executives doing the donkey work or interns ?

Do you think they would work as hard as someone who NEEDS to prove themselves to secure their future/job ?
Not when they are getting paid regardless. Zero accountability if it does not succeed for them 'hey we did what we said we would, sorry it did not work out'.
I can't say what is best - but i can sure ask the question and throw some differing ideas.

I can't answer this as I am not informed about the WHO -obviously you are.

Actually, they do have medical students in surgery. But that is slightly different and a very poor analogy.


I understand the funding is to buy certain contacts and gain exposure. but there are other ways to accomplish the same thing rather then a 90day balls out approach that will cost 30K.

I do have a little experience in marketing, however its mostly in Premier league Football(English), so can only base my POV from what I see there.

Again i asked this previously, what are you actually securing from them with $30K ? just a retainer of service or specific campaigns ?

I think he is possibly referring to a post I made that probably got overlooked by you in the middle of all the FUD.


I just asked for an update and if possible could we get a daily update showing where we are at with regards to the funding status, please  

Your making the assumption that the PR company know about how to market a crypto coin or its concept. Again, its about having past performance to gauge them on. Since its such a secret who they are, then we can only assume.
And as i have stated several times previously - Something that has $x cost does not instantly make it worth $x, its about value.

And I think you do Professors and final graduates a great injustice. Some of the best thinking and fresh ideas comes from fresh minds -exactly what Crypto needs.
Why do you think the technology companies have such a massive presence on Universities ?

Its not a can of beans, a fizzy beverage or an imported SUV.

I think we are moved on m8.

Need ideas about the way forwards rather then people continuing to talk about the past. Whats done is done, what can be done is yet to be decided.

It is a massive amount of money for very little return.

Something that could have been taken to most universities that would have been cheaper, more pro-active and probably yielded better results.

Still a massive amount of day traders in BC.
Those can't be considered do nothing as they keep the activity and volume buoyant.

I tend to day trade other coins and throw my profit( little) into BC or to any development/PR fund i feel has answered my basic criteria.

not really, you have asked for donations and have just decided you will engaging the unknown PR company without any information about what they will actually do.
No information certainly means blindly following the PR team, and even though you might be nice guys - after that blackcast some need a few basic lessons in PR and image.


Throwing $10K of paper wallets (with say $25ea) off the top of some building in NY would probable yield more publicity.
Speak with Edu91 about securing his wallets - load them with $25 and get going

Without picking one above the other, IF and it is a massive contentious point for me, IF the PR projects will be open and transparent to the use of funds freely given by the community I do not see an issue with anyone's PR projects no matter how crazy they might seem.

However, if there is profit to be made for their time, then state this.
I do not think the majority of us care to much if the Dev, promoter etc gets paid for his time so long as it is fair, reasonable and proportional.


But big $$ projects need to be in some logical order.


PR needs to learn to walk before Run and it honestly do not consider $30K for just securing a PR companies support a good use of funds.

There is no way in a million years that a PR company can force news to happen.
The reason why (cheesy maybe) public stunts work is that they do get maximum coverage for the money involved.


I am sure we all have some ideas for PR, hell why don't you have a competition to pony up $10K funding to the best voted idea.

have a little trust in the community's ability to decide

It was just like watching an episode from Jerry Springer for me.

I have seen more professional MMO game casts.

You want to portray a certain image, then there are certain does and don't s.
Lets face it - image is everything when there is nothing physical to sell.

The problem is, even if you and say a (just for an example) TheBlackDogeOfWallStreet came to an agreement about a particular topic - there are so many others Egos within their group (clearly) that there is no one singular voice or direction for them.

Obviously, you can please some people some of the time, but not all people all of the time.

LOL


now is that IE or WIZ ?  

 

IE - can we get a funds update on the project as it stands ?


maybe you could do a daily target post with just where we are up to from the total ?

by the nature of your post , you are taking part in, (and therfore promoting), the the very thing your supposedly complaining about/against - idiot?

Might be semantics, but I don't recall reading ' I AM DUMPING MY COINS'

Similar things have been said by IE and some from the 'foundation', so you all owe us an apology, especially considering you all acted like dicks.


Oh and no one has yet answered my question point about TRANSPARENCY - (as expected).

ironic post is ironic I guess
