MasterCoin: New Protocol Layer Starting From “The Exodus Address”

[markm]

Tip : NXT, BTS and XCP developpers do develop, and have at the same time a strong forum presence (you know that archaic communication tool which we both using right know). So it seems possible. And theirs communities are happy. Or maybe should I just say that they actually have a community, unlike you.

If you think a project lacks a particular kind of presence, can't you go ahead and fix that yourself?

Maybe it simply lacks that particular presence because so far none of the enthusiasts of the project have happened to be into providing that particular aspect?

It's important to have a regularly updated presence here to promote the project. I know I'm not inclined to spend a lot of time going to a bunch of different forums and sites to follow each project, especially when the project specific forums use irritating, oddball forum software which is a lot different from SMF. Bitshares has a nice forum with Simple Machines, but I don't even check in there too often.

The newsletters are a good idea if not sent more than once a week. It makes it easier to keep up if the news is delivered via email.

Some projects try to deliver updates via Bitmessage, but it doesn't work at all well when the news disappears if you don't run the client within a couple of days of it being sent.

agree， the foundation should maintain a mail list in order to deliver the updates.

I too think that early migration off the bitcointalk was a mistake. Of course you took a long time to set up the new forums, but let's face it - they are rather empty.

Guys, come back to reality. That's for J.R. and Ron The price is climbing down, and it's simply because people are not getting your message these days.
The success for this project in the beginning was the community, that's how developers and new ideas came. Not through remote bounties, virtual offices and shiny tools.

So would you please over-communicate. With less channels.

SORRY TO POST THIS HERE

However the mastercoin buyer/seller thread is locked,
so this is the only place i might get a seller
i am looking to buy MSC at market value, and lots of it
PM ME

I just made a specific board to buy Mastercoins.
http://mastercointalk.org/index.php?board=54.0

Could you please post this here and remove this one?
Thank you.

When will MSC learn that the majority of MSC holders don;t engage in  the MSC forum, but on BTC talk.  Their is no point posting there, as i know nobody will read it,
I am trying to ttarget the mass here, not a niche

Really?  My investment in XCP is down something like 80% since last months high, and according to the trolls on here XCP is doing a phenomenal job "engaging the community".

Yes so phenomenal I'm down 80%...

Hey guess what folks I was at a conference last week talking to people who manage 10s and 100s of millions in funds.   They don't waste their time on this forum.

Were those guys 10s 100s hedge fund guys the ones who bought into MSC IPO? I think not. Were they the ones who helped take this off the ground? Are they the ones who need to get involved to get the word out? Are they the ones who need to do the bounties?

What resulted from those talks with those 10s, 100s hedge funds? Care to share?

This would certainly make for a very interesting blog entry.

1. You are completely underestimating this forum and its impact
2. did you really buy XCP at 0.02?

1. am i?  b/c doge does all of their "marketing" in other places.  xcp has dev's here wasting time answering questions for what? a 2X multiple of their burn.  basic logic shows that this forum does very little to impact non-core bitcoin projects in further growth stages.

2. lol, no... i'm simply countering the argument that "community engagement" on bitcointalk actually has any positive impact.  in fact looking at "community engagement" on bitcointalk seems to mean a lower multiple from exodus/burn whatever you want to call it.

you can all thank theymos for relegating mastercoin and others into the alt coin forum, if you want to send hate mail, he's your man

, we are on MSC  side, we're bringing this up becouse we think its important
no hate mail intended
 yes i am not happy with theymos, it was a bad move for MSC

This is true.  It is a real shame that Theymos hates bitcoin 2.0 and purposefully destroyed a great communications channel for this community who just wanted to exchange ideas.  He could have made a subforum for Mastercoin, XCP, NXT and a few others.  But instead he stuffed it into the trash heap that is 'altcoins'.  Alt coins are a complete different thing altogether.  That one single hater intentionally did loads of damage to the ability of others to interact.  Lacking 'critical mass' bitwhizz is right, nobody goes to the other forums.  Instead they lose interest and go visit Satoshi Dice.  Shame. 

It is ironic how core bitcoiners try to discourage new ideas.

We need a new bitcointalk where the admin doesn't have an agenda to push with regard to management of the topics.  Are there any decent alt forums for bitcoin or is this the last and final word?

[prophetx]

on a brighter note

FYI anyone going to the NYC convention we will be hosting an event at the NYC Bitcoin Center with our host and singer Tatiana Moroz

She wants to do a coin for musicians to fund studio time, marketing expenses, etc.  So we'll be helping her out with that, and get some good pr out of it.

We have our own forum now which is now getting a lot of traffic (http://www.mastercointalk.org) so I'm locking this thread so our discussions are less spread out. Feel free to discuss Mastercoin and the Master Protocol there!

If you want to stay on bitcointalk, we have a new thread for discussing Mastercoin and the Master Protocol here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=558012.0

Thanks!

It's been a loooong time since Mastercoin was launched. I'm briefly unlocking this thread to let you guys know about my new project which was recently featured at Forbes.com, UpToken, which I believe to be "The Perfect Token Sale". Check it out on this thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2199751.0
