[ANN] <808% apr> Drop the Bass!! 17%+ eligible after 8.08+ days

[JanpriX]

Huge buys on 808, only 58 million left for sale, was up to around 120 million yesterday on cryptopia https://www.cryptopia.co.nz/Exchange?market=808_BTC
 
-snip-

That went too fast.  . I'm just thinking of buying more and adding some to my stack with these cheap prices and my window of opportunity just vanished in just a matter of hours. I can't believe that it would go up this fast. Yes, our price is still low but if you take into consideration the support it has in the lower sats, you could already tell that the community behind this coin is quite formidable. Take note also that this coin still isn't doing any advertisement at all (aside from its Twitter handler).

a swap with a certain ratio is also something we need to think about.

maybe to the model roland 909 with 909% apr:

In the current conditions, in my opinion, it would be a killer move for the 808.
Now I will make some suggestions that someone might not like here, but are not we here for discussion and including constructive criticism for the development of the future 808?

Imagine that I'm new to the 808 and then I ask the following questions?

1) Why this coin? What is its utility? Than it is fundamentally better than tens and hundreds of others, the same useless?
I have no answer.

2) Where can I use this coin (games, shopping, payment of communication or internet, etc.)?
The answer is obvious: nowhere.

3) Why should the value of the coin grow? It will never be incomplete, because its supply is not limited, the roadmap with a reduction in the rate, too, no. Hence, it is waiting for hyperinflation in all laws of the economy. Nobody buys 808 for dollars, rubles or euros, only bitcoin, basically. And it will not be more than 21 million, as you know. Therefore, before our eyes, the cost of almost all coins with unlimited supply and high rate of price falls below the plinth (examples: IFLT, NKA, 1337, EMB ...).

So, resumming all of the above: why should I invest in a little-known and useless coin? Just for the sake of a small chance to sell it on the pump?

woow nice Roi percent for POS coin. I will buy now to POS.
And Dev, you have plan to run masternode ?

[EvRo74]

The coin falling in price isn't because of Nova closing down, anyway I never saw much volume on that exchange at all. Most of the volume comes from Cryptopia which it always has been ever since I can remember. I have done all I can to help promote 808coin on Twitter, I even brought in a lot of Japanese which helped the coin to grow a lot. I think we need more people promoting 808coin, maybe the dev can start some campaigns, signature, Twitter, Facebook and YouTube campaigns along with Steem and other blog sites.

Marketing is good and right, but what should it promote? The annual coin rate? Many people burned at this, pecking at 1,000 - 10,000%, as investors in EMB or B3 - and lost a lot of money. If the cryptocurrency has no goal, a clear road map and it does not help to solve something in the real world, the number of investors will decrease steadily.
The world has changed a lot, technologies and platforms are growing, like mushrooms after the rain, now - there are too many cryptocurrencies and very few of them will survive - those who connect the cryptospace with something in the real world. That's what you need to think about, if you seriously discuss this topic.

First, the idea, the project and the team - then marketing and advertising. Otherwise it's just an attempt to inflate the HYIP.

No plans to us maternodes for 808. We are working on something to reward the faithful 808 holders though, hopefully we can share more news soon.



Always exciting to see what the community comes up with, some good ideas getting posted lately on the forum.

Maybe we can do a new logo contest/bounty?

YouTube video bounty campaign?

[EvRo74]

I agree with the notion that we need to increase marketing.  However there is still an underlying problem alluded to in some earlier posts.  If the only purpose of this coin is staking, then it is not sustainable.  The only way to keep the value up (esp in light of the increasing supply) is to bring in new investors.  Those investors will only be able to realize their profit (i.e. sell their coins) by selling to new investors coming in.  When you run out of investors, and you will, there will be lots of sellers but no more buyers and the price crashes.  (Note: That doesn't mean 808 is dead, it could sit at a low level for some time until a fresh group of people come in and want to invest/stake.)

Marketing alone isn't the answer.  If you really want this coin to be successful over the long term, there needs to be uses for it other than staking. 

I agree 100 %. As I mentioned before the person who is in charge about the webse can contact me because I am willing to improve it. But someone has to care about a whitepaper/roadmap/blockexplorer/onlinewallet. Otherwise stacking will not be enough to get new investors.

I started reading the thread before your posts, guys, so my previous comments did not take your words into account. I'm glad that many people understand the problems in the same way as I do, and they share in many ways the assessment of the situation!

[EvRo74]

I think a day after the hardfork we should ALL post on twitter, facebook, and instagram about 808coin at the same time. I think this will help bring new investors in with their new found money and also to remind people that 808 is still strong. Im also going to look into running facebook and instagram ads for that day.

So, the hardfork is canceled! Can we start?

I am willing to help improve 808, work on the website and improve the marketing and the messaging. I am doing this already for a small $100K market cap coin.

But before we go out market this like crazy we need to create a vision for the coin. What does this coin want to be when it grows up?  What are the use cases? The best use case seems to me to be raising money for the music industry or music education, e.g. helping fund education for music teachers. http://www.wqxr.org/story/173373-five-charities-devoted-music-education/ How does the community feel about using this coin for charitable donations? My two nieces play the piano and this has been a life changing investment and I am sure others may be supportive of this idea. Are there are any business owners on this forum that would consider accepting 808 for their goods and service? How does the community feel about using this coin for charity donations in general? 

We need some tie to the real world, staking alone is not a use case otherwise this coin begins to resemble a Ponzi scheme where early investors earn good returns and late investors are left holding the bag once the price collapses due to excessive supply like what happened with Embercoin and InflationCoin that are both now in death spirals. 

Right thoughts and good words! The only thing that confuses me is that none of the music cryptoprojects has achieved any serious recognition and progress. But as one of the ideas - why not?

Do you even own 808?

Im going around on youtube and searching up different POS coins like Goku, B3, Rain etc. and commenting about how great of a staking coin 808 is. We could make a bigger impact and bring new investors if others did the same.

[vella85]

I'm very interested to see what this new promotion will be for us holders who have been holding 808 coin for a long time. That new image looks great MrEggman and I think that having a logo and YT bounty is a great idea. I'm also thinking about running another Twitter giveaway just before Christmas as my last 808 coin giveaway was a huge success with 20k+ impressions on that tweet and many people participating in the giveaway which also gave 808 coin a lot of exposure at the time.

[Ryan Dugan]

price is up by 75% keep on promoting!!!

I saw that and it is great. I hope everyone listened to me and bought some 808 and made some nice profits. Do not sell you will be better holding because the price will go back up again and will be like it was before this is a minor setback. If you can afford it buy some more as well.

[CoinCollector006]

The coin has real advantages :
- Wallets are easy to use and functional (with a a Mac wallet as well, that's not that common on HighPos coin)
- skating is really easy, you dont need to worry that much about coin control and do your maths
- it's been around a while and still running.
So I think it can be marketed as the easiest coin to stake (something like that), through forums like this one or twitter (and everybody can retweet and reinforce) and word of mouth can do wonder in crypto land.
However I would wait until after the fork, people should have extra coins (At least I expect most people to sell bitcoin gold for BTC as soon as they get it and even if they are tempted to hold both chains, I expect some play money to go back into alts after the fork). I think that if we have a coordinated campaign then (Your dont know what to do with you extra BTC ? Have you thought of staking ?), that might add to our chances.
And of course a second exchange would be very important, even if it is a small one, because that means more nodes running, even something like tideX would help.

Sorry, this is [at the moment] nonsense.
- Almost all wallets are based on bitcoin-core and some qt gui.
- Staking is very is: This is right for every proof of stake coin.
- it's been around a while and still running? Compare with bitcoin.

--> Vision is missing
--> Coin amount limitation is missing
--> Something outstanding is missing

I agree with all these points. The fork fears are gone and 808 has rallied somewhat from the bottom, but the long term problems persist that will pressure the coin to 1 sat as has happened with hyper inflationary coins like IFLT, EMB, etc. We need to come up with solutions for the problems of unlimited coin supply, lack of a vision / roadmap and lack of use cases for the coin. We should be able to use 808 for some of the same uses as ArtByte and MusicCoin to purchase music or donate money to musicians. That would be a start and we could also use 808 to donate money for music education to disadvantaged children. 

Dogecoin did a decent job of marketing / promoting the coin, but there are no real use cases. Lets not make the same mistake that the Dogecoin team has done. I have noticed many of the ideas are around Twitter giveaways, social media promotion  nd such. These create hype and may lead to a short term rally in the coin, but I don't think they will solve the long term issues. Lets invest our time wisely. Are there any 808 investor / developers willing to meet in a 808 Discord channel or on the Slack channel? I visit the 808 slack every day and am waiting for a nucleus of developers to meet so we can start working on the needed improvements.
