I think TIPS has a very bright future if we can galvanize the community. Their is a small window of time before other coins implement the mixing service, and we have 1st movers advantage.
The new name and coin design look great. We need to start marketing this coin not only on this forum, but on social media. Most importantly, we need to write articles and distribute this to crypto websites and even local or national media outlets. Casual investors or novices that peruse these sites will hopefully be drawn to the innovative features TIPS offers. Dogecoin gained prominence from features in national news and for their great community.
The future of TIPS will be determined in the 7-10 days imo. We all have a vested interest in its success, so we need to delegate responsibility and develop the promotion of this coin immediately.
+1, we should also definitely bring the attention of Max Keiser to it
and hey, tip of fedora is already a meme
http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/tips-fedora we should utilize this to spread the use of TIPS.
and we should try to propagate the connection in peoples minds between tipping the hat / acknowledging somebody's work / and sending tips.
and another thing we could do is try to bring the 'A Tip of The Hatlo Hat' meme back to life
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/They%27ll_Do_It_Every_Time#A_tip_of_the_Hatlo_hat , so that news websites could use that photo of Hatlo tipping his hat that was apparently used as a footnote in the comics book, and they can put the name of the author next to it and his tipping address!
and we can create lots of good and fun memes and ad slogans using the funny abbreviations of TIPS like the ones already suggested. 'The Internet Payment System' is the official name, but I suggest we can always use new slogans for fun and for advertising to surprise and get people more excited. I guess we need a separate thread or group of threads for new ideas of slogans and ad campaigns.
