Can we have an auction for the other packages as well?
We may in the very near future. I have already decided to hold another auction after this one ends on Sunday Night at midnight eastern. It will be for the same package, then we will see moving forward. I am doing it since a lot of people have been hitting me up private and through the main site asking about an extension on the auction or a second chance after Sunday. All around it's great for VIRAL and gives many people the chance to scoop up one heck of a great deal! A real win-win situation for us all! Adam G. Why it is not listed on coinmarketcap yet? Perhaps the first request form was not accounted for, we just sent in a second request to them with all the current info. |

***I would like to begin by saying this... no matter your feelings on Adam, VIRAL is a great idea, the marketing style is new and a fantastic idea, and as far as I'm concerned, there is nothing at all in the VIRAL project that is either misleading or scam-like in any way. Everything has been presented upfront and honestly, and so far everything that the VIRAL team has said they would do, they did, and most of the time they beat their own deadlines. If the project continues in the direction it has been, I fully expect it to last a long time and become immensely popular. Not only in the crypto world, but outside it as well, as everyone needs marketing to promote their wares. Please leave the BS out of this thread about Adam or anyone involved in the Crowd Fund that you may not particularly like. Judge projects based on their merits and what they've accomplished, not based on nonsense you may or may not believe about the person who started it, or the people who may have invested in it. This thread is not for discussion on VIRAL being anything other than the project it is. If you mention anything else in this thread, I'll delete your post with extreme prejudice. Do your own research on the PROJECT, and decide for yourself whether you think it is a good idea or not, I myself believe that it is. Regardless of anything else. Thank you.***
-[VIRAL]- First Sponsor Review
My story:
Hello everyone!
I wanted to take the time to give VIRAL a review, so that everyone knows, when they’re investing in some VIRAL marketing, they’re going to get their money’s worth! I wanted to tell everyone what I witnessed, and what has happened, now that the first VIRAL sponsor (BURST in general, and in particular, myself) has had time to see what VIRAL did, and see the results for a decent period of time.
When I decided to make this sponsorship, and become the first VIRAL sponsor, I knew that the promotion of another crypto coin would be a great start for VIRAL. I knew then that the market had around 55 thousand possible accounts that could see the VIRAL marketing messages, and I knew that it would be interesting if nothing else, just to see.
I took the chance, and gave the 3 BTC necessary to get the project started. I spoke with Adam, and provided him with my plan. I gave him some factoids that I had written, and told him to change them and modify them as he wanted, as he was the marketing expert, not me! Adam took my fact sheet, and turned them into some beautiful tweets, both well-phrased, and effective in noting the key information that I wanted to get across to the public. The messages came out very nice, not spammy looking, and not in your face. They made you question, they made you want to click and search, and figure out what exactly this “BURST” is. The overall quality of the marketing material was exceptional, and I was very pleased.
Once I saw that the VIRAL campaign had begun, I was SUPER excited. Watching all of those tweets with a search on twitter for ‘$BURST’, was purely amazing! All of these people, tweeting to all of their friends, about the information that I WANTED THEM TO KNOW! It was all very exciting. Not to mention since it was the first actual sponsorship, it was great to see how the VIRAL platform functioned, and it functioned amazingly!
I literally sat there and watched the VIRAL stream, posting new and well written messages to thousands of followers, for quite a while. I’m sure that I wasted at least 45 min of my workday at my day job. Hehe. It was really cool, to see all of this promotion happening right in front of my eyes! BURST is a coin that desperately needed some promotion,(with all of the features and power it has, it must be known!) and I was glad to see it, regardless of the outcome. Although, of course, I did hope for the best!
The VIRAL outcome:
Immediately after the VIRAL campaign, BURST price shot up by a good chunk, and so did the volume, I was of course very pleased by this. But what started happening later, is what really proved to me that the VIRAL marketing system works. (You must also bear in mind, that the VIRAL network at the time of the promotion, was easily 3 times SMALLER than it is now! So imagine the power of the network now! Imagine the power it will be in the future if it has grown THIS MUCH in such a short time! It is all very exciting, and it will be blatant that the compounding value of the VIRAL marketing, will continue to grow.)
After the campaign, the attention on BURST continued to grow, and since I’m part of the core team, I know we weren’t doing much else in the way of promotion at the time. I’m 100% sure that this all came from the VIRAL marketing platform. The following occurred, and has still been occurring…
1. BURST volume, on all 3 of its exchanges, has steadily been on the rise.
2. BURST network size increased at a much faster rate than it had been before, meaning more people were mining on the BURST network.
3. People messaged me both on twitter and bitcointalk, asking questions about BURST. Saying they saw it on twitter. (This continues still.)
4. People jumped into the BURST ANN thread on BTT and said they saw it on twitter and wanted to know more. A few other new people came in, not mentioning twitter, but it was fairly obvious at this point where they heard of it.
5. These things continue, as the words from the VIRAL campaign are STILL spreading around twitter!
Everything worked out just great! It started an affect that continues still, and I believe will continue to continue, as everyone reads more about VIRAL, and reads about VIRAL sponsors. So, not only does VIRAL promote the product for you for however long you pay for, but that promotion lives on, sparks conversations, and gets people interested!
I can’t wait to see the future of VIRAL! Already the size has TRIPLED since I did my campaign! That means the reach is over THREE TIMES BIGGER than it was when I did this. Imagine what that could mean for you and your promotions! There is a real future for this platform, and as long as everything continues the way it has been, I see no reason why VIRAL won’t become a name that everyone knows.
Overall Rating:
A+ - This campaign surprised me with how long its results lasted, they continue to this day, and I’m 100% that they’ll continue past it! The size of the VIRAL network continues to grow at an alarming rate, and I know this will cause some really amazing things to happen for the future VIRAL sponsors! Don’t hesitate to give this a chance, the VIRAL platform is REAL, it WORKS, and if you have something that you need promoted, who better to do it through? Who are people going to listen to more? Random banner ads, or THEIR FRIENDS? The choice is blatantly obvious.
Thank you for taking the time to read this, I really just wanted people to know that VIRAL works, and not only that, the network continues to grow, and thus the reach continues to grow. Get your promotions done with the VIRAL platform, and become pleasantly surprised by VIRAL’s ability to go beyond your expectations!
Incredible review, VIRAL thanks you for being our first sponsor and looks forward to doing more business with you in the future and all the best of luck with BURST! |

ATTENTION VIRAL COMMUNITY! We are pleased to announce that we have officially TRIPLED our global REACH when it comes to the amount of followers we have network wide. Things are moving super fast! Last update we had just over 50,000 Followers from all the active nodes that authenticated their Twitter accounts in VIRAL. Today we are up to a whopping total of 174,270 !!! This is a huge boost in the global reach of VIRAL, a 3x boost in a matter of about 2 weeks only! This will be a huge appeal factor for potential sponsors that may be undecided or on the fence about running a campaign on VIRAL and we will keep the current sponsor price structure the same without hiking up the price just yet to encourage sponsors to get on-board and take advantage of our truly VIRAL expansion that is taking place. This immense growth is virtually unheard of in most online statups, however when it does take place, success stories are born and amazing things transpire while moving forward! Have you gone $VIRAL yet? |

We are very pleased to announce our list of top nodes that were active on our first paid sponsor's tweets.
The following list is of our top nodes at the time of executing the sponsor campaign earlier this month, who paid
3btc and that payment was used to buy VIRAL off of the sell book on Bittrex from the top, down to 3btc worth, effectively
bringing the value up, then those Viral that were bought were all sent to the Ccex burn wallet, thus reducing
the global supply of VIRAL, win win formula.
Below you will see the TOP 16 VIRAL Nodes who are authed on Twiter, along with their Metrics Scores. These scores reflect
their follower quality. A quick way for anyone to see their own score would be through twitteraudit.com. These nodes were
chosen based on the fact that they have over 1000 followers each and a high metrics score. They will all be receiving
Free Viral for being such a high asset to the VIRAL network and this list of TOP nodes is growing as more and more people
auth and or are actively building their accounts to have the same reach or better than the following 16 top nodes below.
Total of 6150 Viral will split among these top nodes in the following manner.
As the number of sponsors increase, the rewards will increase as well and more active nodes will naturally get on the top list!
The Following Viral Nodes will be contacted through Twiter, so check your PM's and follow requests.

To embrace the launch of VIRAL here is a fun promo for you to make some free btc. Make an easy 0.001btc just for going to http://www.ViralNode.com and click on the button that says "Click here to become an active viral webnode" once clicked it will open a window from twitter asking your permission for Viral to occasionally post status updates on your account. Authorize it and then if successful you will see a "Viral metrics page" this let's you know it worked. Now simply go to your twitter account and write the following tweet " I just became an active viral webnode over at http://ViralNode.com " Then post the url to your tweet in here and the btc address you would like the 0.001 send to. We will check the thread a few times daily and send btc payments to everyone as we do. Read more about the Viral network on the site http://www.Viralnode.com |

My twitter account just tweeted a promotion on behalf of the Viral platform. I have to say this is looking very nice, nothing like spam at all. The tweet was like something I could have written myself.  Nice work @Viraldev Thank you! |

for my understanding:
I got a twitter account connected. if ads run through it, I will be awarded with VIRAL? make sense?
From the OP: "In addition, a staking reward is issued once every week to each member based on the metrics of their actual social weight and reach in campaign participation during the week. For users with a solid social network, this staking reward will be quite substantial." that means I have to HODL VIRAL in order to get a higher staking rate? I'm not entirely sure. Normal PoS staking is based on how much Viral you hold, but I think this is based on your twitter specs. I was under the impression that you actually earn VIRAL from your tweets. but if it's just a higher stake rate... meh... Any extra rewards earned when it comes to an individual basis are naturally in addition to the coin itself gaining value from the VIRAL network's sponsor infusions. Any such individual rewards will apply to accounts who's metrics stand out and are clearly beneficial to the network due to their quality of followers and global reach/niche reach factors. For the time being with VIRAL just in it's infancy there are only a small handful of accounts currently in the network that clearly stand out from the rest based on their individual metrics. Those accounts who are in what we call the "Spotlight" category will always be notified on a weekly basis of any individual, exclusive rewards. The "Spotlight" accounts grow in numbers as more high quality accounts become nodes on the network and based on weekly internal reviews that are run to gauge changes on current nodes mainly their follower count and the legitimacy of their audience growing or declining. Rewards stabilize and/or increase over time and are based in conjunction with the sponsor actions. As future phases take place on the VIRAL network, there will be more opportunities to gain additional rewards from the network as outlined in the roadmap and OP in general. For the time being, we are already moving far ahead with plenty of releases way ahead of schedule already, so let's continue to all benefit from this incredible innovation to crypto and watch as all the additional positive actions unfold. Go VIRAL! |

Are you going to update the op when more nodes come online? When are the prices set to change? Do you guys offer an escrow service to make sure if I run a campaign that the campaign runs for its time period before the funds are released to you?
Op will be updated every second day to reflect total reach of the network. Prices can change without prior notice and will be reflected in the OP when any official price changes to come into effect. If the sponsor chooses to use escrow, they may do so through Bayareacoins. |

Hello everyone, 180,000 VIRAL was initially sent to the Viral Developer Fund (VCs3KAQ88tLM9yLyTuewKE1TZoqPkfd2zy) and has been staking since May 14, 2015. 25,000 VIRAL was initially sent to Viral Bounty Fund (VVpAFhcZR98L5m4RhCCEsR14eHwhBeZseb) and has been staking since May 14, 2015. The coins were not moved from their respective address but seems to have changed addresses while staking or when coins were sent for giveaways and Viral promotions. So far about 4,000 Viral has been given away. Here is a screen shot of the Viral Dev Fund and Viral Bounty Fund for full transparency since we have nothing to hide.  Some coins are being staked so a small part of the full balance is not shown. |

How this wouldn't be tagged as mass spam ?
This is a great question. The way that the system works is we send status updates through the authenticated twitter accounts that reflect important events and updates within the Viral network, unlike spam that is repetitive and intrusive, Viral status updates are informative and unique, no repetitive spam or pushy tweets to make both the account doing the tweeting and the follower reading it feel bombarded in any way. The method has been carefully worked on to ensure that there is always a solid level of interaction with the Viral network between it's active nodes, sponsors and developers. Each time a sponsor joins into the network, the positive news is shared across the array of nodes. Companies have been doing this same method through Twitter account holders for many years now, however there has never been such a niche market platform like VIRAL before, this makes it so valuable to the Cryptocurrency community and will spread it's wings beyond as the days and weeks pass and VIRAL matures. |

Has there been any talks of incorporating more then just twitter nodes, maybe facebook/ instagram nodes for additional ad diversity?
Indeed there will be more than Twitter in the near future, Viral will continue to add new features as it grows naturally. Facebook will not be a part of Viral however many large social network platforms are lined up on the schedule to be implemented in the near future. |

I can get a better return on a $100 Facebook or twitter ad buy...that being said...I am hoping that this catches fire and goes to town.
There is no other way currently in the crypto currency scene to gain this incredible exposure, with the flick of a switch you now have a major portion of the community who is interested in crypto, reading about you and what you have to offer. The math is simple and the end result is incredible reach with minimal effort!
99% of the time I ignore spam. It's pretty rare that I'd buy a coin off of a tweet, but I did because the dude who tweeted it was someone who I follow. I've read his tweets before, so it made me look into viral. That probably wouldn't have happened if it was some shit spammer who tried to friend me all random. Exactly what trust marketing really is, you understand it and you experienced it first hand and now you are here. That is the power of VIRAL. |

Cost Of Entry for an unproven system and product is too high.
I can get a better return on a $100 Facebook or twitter ad buy...that being said...I am hoping that this catches fire and goes to town.
Personally, I think you should bring in a few test cases to verify that everything is hunky-dory, and work out any gremlins [which may exist]. After that, roll it out with a lower COE for a few pilot advertisers who will provide proof of concept and verify it works. They'll also be able to provide testimonials to how well [or not] everything works.
Meanwhile, nodes get to kick back and watch the fun happen.
Just my two-pence.
Cheers
A $100 targeted ad run will not compare to Viral at all. As for test cases, we have not run a sponsor update yet on the network. We have done stress testing to ensure the network is working 100% and if you care to see examples, you can view actual people who are authed as nodes talking about it in our ANN thread, to make it easier to find within the 100 or so pages, you can start with this post and work your way forward for more actual proof of how well the system testing went. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1041025.msg11365370#msg11365370The current price structure is fair however it will rise after a few campaigns are run. This is an entry point to appeal to potential sponsors that know first hand the value of a 50k plus crypto audience seeing their "friends" talk about the sponsor's goods. |
