[GRC] Gridcoin Marketing and Strategy

[anonerd]

Gridcoin will be showcased on http://cyber.fund/ and they are asking for opinion/input on the slide they are creating for GRC! I created a separate thread for this discussion.

https://cryptocointalk.com/topic/29177-cybernetic-economy-report-2014-gridcoin-slide-draft/

This will bring us into ranks of Ethereum and BitShares.
People start to realize what we have done so far and more so where we are heading!

If you are interested in Gridcoin, we need your help!
Please cast your vote on reddit:

    "We’re Team Koinify: Help us choose the next crypto / dApp / open sourced project you’d like to see community crowdfunded!

    Hey /r/Bitcoin,

    Team [Koinify](https://www.koinify.com/) here. We’re a marketplace for decentralized applications (dApps), running crowdfunding campaigns to help fund dApp projects.

    -------------------------

    As a giveback to the community, we’d like to run a donation-based, zero-fee crowdfunding campaign for an open-sourced crypto project to help with their exposure and funding. We’re now crowdsourcing the most attractive and impactful project in the ecosystem.

    This crowdfunding campaign will have no fee, but still vest on our milestone based fund release structure, such that developer will have fully aligned incentives to deliver after the crowdfunding ends. We want to leverage our connections and influence for the greater good by helping an early stage project emerge from the shadows. It will be 100% donation driven, with all the money going directly to the team. Koinify will do its customary and expected due diligence on the team and the project, vetting and ensuring they are worthy of the campaign.

    -------------------------

    What do you see as one of the most potentially disruptive areas/projects? Is it crypto infrastructure, is it a dApp, or is it an open sourced protocol? What project do you think will help push the crypto community forward as a whole?

    Let us know in the comments below by telling us which project or team you’d like to see a crowdfunding campaign for, and why you believe they should be picked for the crowdfunding campaign. The raised BTC goal and time constraints will depend upon the project that is chosen by the community."

    We will leave this thread open for 48 hours. After 48 hours, we will count the number of comments / votes. Let us know, and we can get this running as soon as possible.

    -------------------------

    Examples: BitMesh, DarkWallet, BitSquare, FactomLinux, etc. Projects that haven’t received VC funding, are open sourced, and that would help our community and ecosystem grow stronger.

Koinify is a large player: http://www.coindesk.com/koinify-1-million-smart-corporation-crowdfunding/
Getting featured would beam us to frontpages of all news channels in crypto, simply by earning their reddit vote.

they use a crowdfunding model that looks like handing tokens to newcomers so everyone can buy a share as they like.
Besides, they work closely together with project developers to support marketing of future milestones.
Thereby, a lot of interested folks could enter a position to get started with Gridcoin.

Gridcoin is invited to consider being an official sponsor of PICISI:

Can you give some more details on what exactly this is?

PICISI will be a crowdfunding website that accepts fiat and cryptocurrency.

It will be a very powerful vehicle for introducing CC to the broader world.  It will enable many different coin communities to get their respective coins lots of exposure
and use.  Utility is the highest function for a currency, with PICISI Organizers and Donors are gently immersed in a world where CC has meaningful and practical
financial value.   At PICISI CC gets a lot of attention.

When visitors come to the site to raise funds for things that interest them they will have the opportunity to collect fiat as well as CC.  There are two host currencies, one for fiat and one for CC.   The Organizer has three options: a) accept sponsorship, b) select from list of CCs, or c) PICISI coin (default).  If they select sponsorship they will actually get paid because of that selection.   That's a great way to introduce CC to someone.   As Host CC sponsor all CC donations (regardless of type) are immediately converted to your currency and remain in that currency until spent or for the duration of the campaign.  The Organizer has the opportunity to spend CC donations with a campaign contractor(s) who help Organizers create, develop, and/or promote their campaign.  Thereby having your currency 'respent'.

In addition to Host CC, there are 4 other sponsorship opportunities.

With regard to Gridcoin, your coin has a focus on Science and innovation so you will probably do well to sponsor campaigns in that area of the site.

For now, I'm specifically looking for people to endorse the PICISI plan -- tell me that you like the plan;  and I am also looking for sponsors to help me start and develop the site.
Of course I will display signage for supportive sponsors.
