Use CGB's advertising budget to market your goods and services / CGB awards???

[elambert]

Hello,
I am a member of the Cryptogenic Bullion (CGB) development team. For those who don't already know, CGB is a relatively young currency (created on June 28th, 2013). CGB trades at a few exchanges, has multiple pools and is accepted by a few merchants already. More importantly, CGB has tremendous future potential for growth. The team is spending between $1-2k per month to advertise CGB and a cap is set for 1 million CGB to be created - so it is and will remain extremely rare. The blend of advertising, rarity, fast transaction time and devoted development team make this an excellent crypto for holding for the long term.

If you sell or would like to sell goods and services and accept payment via crypto, the CGB team would be happy to collaborate with you and allow your site to piggyback on our marketing push. If you are interested in adding CGB as a payment option, please reach out to me via pm here or directly at cryptogenicbullion@gmail.com. Our website is http://cryptogenicbullion.org if you would like to read up more on CGB.

Sincerely,
elambert


Edit: Adding Merc's inaugural annual innovation awards pre-announcement quote:

Special end of year rewards to most innovative/community supportive/useful/creative services accepting CGB as payment option.  This will be the inaugural year (obviously).  The winners will be somewhat subjective, but the methodology for picking winners will be a point system as follows:  

score of 1-10 in the following categories (criterion higher on the list is weighed more):

technological innovation

community support and popularity

usefulness/practicality

creativity (in terms of presentation as well as the service or product itself)

The service with the highest cumulative score will win!  



We will make the awards an official announcement once we have agreed to the scoring methodology.  

Winner will be chosen in early December.
 

Awards for this year will be :

1st place:  $500 equivalent in CGB

2nd place:  $250 equivalent in CGB

3rd place:  $200 equivalent in CGB

4th place:  $150 equivalent in CGB

5th place:  $100 equivalent in CGB



So, if you have a service/business/product and you don't have CGB as a payment option, now you have another incentive to join the family!


Cheers!

EDIT:  This is not final...awards and scoring criteria can change.  An official announcement will be made by next week.  

EDIT2:  Since this is a short year for us, the rewards are consequently not that impressive.  But we expect next year's rewards to have zeros added to the end of this year's rewards.

Hey elambert, I would like to have a CGB donate button on www.CryptoNerd.co, and be added to the services page. A blog is a service, right?

Yes, your blog is a service and automatically considered for the annual awards.  Your service has a good chance of winning something, as media related sites will score well.  But there are a couple of other obvious front-runners...

[mercSuey]

If you have a content/media site and we have either advertised on your site or you have a CGB address for your own donations, then you are automatically entered for the annual contest.
