Broken the rules? Doesn't sound like breaking any rules to me. Sounds like your paying someone for adverting or making a tutorial about your alt coin or what ever alt coin? It's similar to paying someone to make guides about certain things etc.

You definitely can get in trouble for paying people for installing the client and generating an address. Been there before.

I was unaware of that I've never seen anyone trying to pay people to use their alt coin though. I can't imagine someone who made a video about your product and you give them a amount of alt coin would be breaking the rules though.

Incentivizing people to post insubstantial posts can get you banned, paying them to generate addresses without posting those addresses on the forum is OK.

You also shouldn't be encouraging people to send unsolicited PMs spamming your altcoin.

Other than that, I don't really see a problem. If you're not sure you can always ask.

Thanks so much for taking the time to weigh in. That was a pretty clear answer so ill go ahead and lock this thread.
