[ANN][KARM] Karmacoin - New Initiatives - Helping People Do Good

[miner4m0]

1.x million Karma collected so far as I see in Karma wall http://ikarmacoin.com/karmawall-menu

3 million Karma coins may value less than $50 now, but these coins for them are not to cash out immediate, its just a way to help them with some value, let them get Crypto awareness and to spread the Crypto Karma word out.

That is being SUPER generous with the value of Karma, it isn't even CLOSE to $50.

This, as you present it, is a stupid idea. It will make Karma look worse than it already does.
Comes off as a good bit self serving and smells of taking advantage of the situation with no benefit for the girls:
"Here girls, take these three million coins! Someday, in the future, they may, possibly, be worth a wee bit more, or not, all that matters is we pat ourselves on teh back and pretend the attention we may get from doing this will somehow help our coin."

Come up with the whole amount they lost or just don't do it.

The last tweet raised the stakes to 12M karmacoins.
The current donations are 3.2M (Karmawall).
Our coin is helped if we execute our mission.
We need to Do Good.

You donate to make the coin look good and to inflate your own ego.
12M Karma is still no where near the amount lost and will still look self serving rather than generous.
The coin stands to gain way more than the girls do, so don't shortchange them to start with.

I am listening.   Just so you know, there is no selfish intent on my part.  Theoretically it would be a lot more simple to write a check and mail it to them.

I intend to raise up to 35M Karmacoins.  
I am hopeful that our community sees this project as a pathfinder as to how each and every one of us can drive the community to Do Good.  
There is no limit on what we can do - To Saturn and Beyond!  
I will match the donations 4:1.  I am hoping others will match as well.  
I intend to convert the KARM to BTC and BTC to USD and give them a check once we hit our goal - $200 USD.

How much will you be donating? Thanks for listening.

Thanks for detailing the plan.  I just sent 1M.

If you intend to raise the 35m needed to come up with the $200, why only mention that now?
Convenient, and misguided. You probably should have spelled it out beforehand...
The wrong idea has already been planted, as can be seen by the fervor with which they think that the 3M was going to be an amazing thing and that they already contacted the media about the 3M...

Good point!

why karma is dying?  from  5 satoshi to 1.??

why karma is dying?  from  5 satoshi to 1.??

Karma will never die. Multipools dumping on highest buy order. This will stop in next block halving. Checkout http://www.ikarmacoin.com/karmawall-menu

[bitwho]

can we not use expression like "to the moon" or " to saturn and beyond" Lets do the opposite. Lets keep karmacoin earth related.

perhaps we can say "Bringing the moon to US"  or the old and perfect "doing good is good" "do good"

Volume indicates that it is not dying.  
Altcoinstats lists it as the 4th most profitable.
More new wallet holders will jump on board to mine (increased consumption)
Currently middleminers create a large pool of speculative sellers to a smaller pool of buyers.

Freshly mined supply will decrease. This will stop in next block halving.

The sellers will sell at a pace of 600M KARM per day
In approximately 5 days the lower cost KARM will climb in price because supply will contract.

It is pretty exciting that given the current Mintpal Buy side backlog of 21BTC, you can double your money by selling for 2 and buying for 1.  Experience tells us that there will be upward pressure on price.  So get your KARM while you can.

Anyone in the PR team working on a press release? Who will be the public-facing point of contact for the media?

El3k0n - PR/Communications
ShawnLeary - PR/Communications/marketing
Alphi - PR/Communications
Bitwho - PR/Communications/Project Lead

Let's cross that bridge when/if it comes.  I don't remember seeing or hearing from a public face for DogeCoin.  Karma is karma, it doesn't even need to be explained.  Try asking anyone other than someone on reddit what Doge even is?   Is it the dog?  Is the comic sans colorful fonts and choppy Japanese anime style something lost in translation blurbs?  seriously I am all about being prepared, so if there is anyway I can help let me know.  I have a full time job though so the fact that I am an investor and not actually a hired rep of Karma mine or anyone else's comments will be somewhat, actually, really biased.  If it were to go big time we will have to hire a PR company to handle some of this workload.  

Kos has it right with this list
1) Put together a press release (with media contact at bottom).
2) Polish the website and make it clear and easy to understand for new visitors who know nothing about Karmacoin
3) Choose a logo with wide appeal (even if not final)
4) Decide on a mission statement (I've made a post to the karmacoin project subreddit. If you've access please read the stickied document)

Also I would add a tip bot.  Can someone here tackle or at least find out how to set one up? bitcoin dogecoin nxt and many others all have tip bots.  everyone likes free coins, and nothing better than sprinkling 500 to 1000 Karms a pop all over reddit and /r/bitcoin.   Will go a long way IMO.

And a response to anyone thinking Karma is dead.  How many dead coins have 50 BTC worth of orders straddling the current market price?  When Karma takes off its going to be pretty sick and fast.  Coinmarketcap will have to deal with multiple days of triple digit growth precentages from Karma-goodness!     1000%+ 24-hr gain is going to be pretty epic on there.

!!Karmassian Pride!!

It is happening people.  You can no longer deny what we have created.  A community where we Do Good.

Because.....Doing good is good.

I received a call from the girl scouts about 15 minutes ago.
Courtney Szlemp described the scenario.
These girls scouts were very discouraged,
The cookie order would need to be paid for and they did not have the money.

-Too young an age to have that happen to them. It is up to us to make it a memory - not a catastrophe!

They though it was incredible that people across the world would help them.
They found it incredible that people across the world had heard about their problem.
She is sending me additional information so that we can communicate our progress.

We are raising $200 USD worth of KARM (35M).

I am asking for all of you wealthy Karmassians, you know who you are, donate 1M KARM to this cause.

Why not "Karms" instead of Karmassians?

AWESOME!  I don't know how I missed it.  I am going to search for good deeds all over reddit where tipping is OK and make it rain.

To everyone below: are you able to access http://www.reddit.com/r/karmacoinproject ? This subreddit is where we will coordinate all project activities. (I'd prefer to use an online project management system but I am not sure if we'd actually use it at this time. So we can use a subreddit for these activities)

Your posts/feedback is required if we're going to get the ball rolling. Please let me know if you need anything or have trouble accessing the subreddit. If you haven't PM'd me with your reddit username please do so. (As you can see, I like to work quickly and efficiently. I'm going to see Karmacoin through to 500+ satoshis!)

Please take a look at the draft project plan I posted yesterday for Phase 2 when you get to the subreddit. I plan to post it to the main subreddit on March 8th if there are no comments. But please make suggestions and provide feedback. It's better if we work together on this. Your prompt attention is greatly appreciated

Please hit "subscribe" in the subreddit when you get there. Right now there are 2 subscribers, including myself. There should really be 12 (everyone on the list above). It would help to follow the activity in the subreddit so we can be productive.

Thanks!
