Bitcoin Talk on Telegram

Hello,
I think it is fair to detail a little bit a couple of details:

• The sponsorship via messages is only a test for the moment, no special deal has been done with the mentioned exchange. Maybe we can try to sponsor the forum itself instead of an exchange?
• As mendace said, we saw a few users getting back to the forum. Actually, if we want to be 100% intellectually correct, a lot of old members came back to the forum in these days, a there was a shift in regulation that awakened a few inactive users worried about their tax returns.

SO far, I think it is a positive test.

Idk, seems like this would decrease a lot of the activity here. Some users on the Portuguese board have suggested that we create a Discord server for some time, but if we're discussing stuff there, we won't discuss it here = bad for the forum overall.

You are correct, we had the same issue when we created the Nigeria Bitcointalk community on Telegram last year, it was interesting at first because we were able to get to know ourselves better, new members were introduced, but the negative impact on our local board was much bigger than we expected, we noticed a decrease in activity on our local forum thread and that didn't help in our quest to have a local board last year, so we decided to delete it and since then our activity has increased again.

promoting a project that would reduce activity on Bitcointalk  on Bitcointalk forum——- ironic


What is the purpose of this project? You've even included the merit and signature systems. theymos is not going to like it..

It seems impossible to me that I have to answer the same question all the time.  What is the purpose of the project?  Well I won't answer because I've said it too many times already and I've said it many times already that it's not true that the activity will decrease if links are posted from the forum.

Apart from causing distraction to those who are going to subscribe to the telegram channel, it will end up as a mere gossip channel. It won't have the strength of character of teaching and learning that BTT is endowed with. That's if the telegram channel doesn't even end up as an avenue for account sales and merit trading. Again, if you want something that can compete favourably with this forum, it won't be to set up mere telegram channels. Run enticing bounties and signature campaigns and you will see how things take a sharp turn.

I updated the again.

[fillippone]

I updated the again.

Well, @mendace, you probably haven't written a shitcoin paper or an ICO, as you we can see from here marketing is not your cup of tea.

What did you update on the OP? Better put a small recap.

Maybe you wanted to highlight in your post that you added a verification process to link the Telegram Handle to the forum account trough a verification code the user must post on his forum profile page to confirm it's the legitimate owner of the profile?

This is a very good addition, as many users, myself included, have different handle for TG and forum.

Ps. The fact I might be better at marketing doesn't imply I am a shitcoiner!

Dear Fillippone you really convinced me, I think I will join the telegram group.  Thank you.

Oh, really? I guess you had the wrong quote inserted.

Bitcoin Talk Telegram Campaign Recap:

If you want background music on the post, we suggest  "Thunderstruck (live-1991) AC/DC."

The Rock Trading campaign ended on Sunday, February 12, after 4 weeks. The campaign will not be renewed, but the remaining funds from the previous campaign will be used for another 4 weeks. During the 4 weeks, the campaign distributed 325,734 satoshis to participants and significantly increased the flow of messages within the forum.

Participants wrote 588 messages in the 4 weeks.

In the first week, 5 campaign participants produced 119 messages. I
n the second week, 7 participants produced 190 messages.
In the third week, 6 participants produced 157 messages, while in the last week, 6 participants produced 128 messages.

Unfortunately, the tracker is not in our possession, so the iterations with the campaign are not visible. Nevertheless, we thank The Rock Trading for the boost it gave to the forum and wish them a speedy resolution of their problems or information on what is happening.

The Sell Defi campaign ended on Sunday, February 20, with a duration of 4 weeks and no renewal at the moment.

There were always 2 participants, and they contributed 47, 54, 63, and 63 messages from the first to the fourth week, respectively.

During the campaign, it delivered 228,184 satoshis and received 227 posts from participants. Obviously, these are different numbers than TRT in terms of posts, as there were only 2 users.

During the campaign, the link received only 33 clicks, and we invite users to be more involved with our sponsors. The Sell Defi service has been used 3/4 times within the forum. We thank SellDefi for its contribution.

The SIM Privacy campaign is still ongoing and will end in about 2 weeks. We will update you later.

Stay tuned for the next update.

congratulations on the success of your project on telegram, you are finally starting to see the results of your project! really remarkable, I wondered, but can these sponsors also be proposed in the telegram forums in other languages?

Certainly, there are currently active international sections that are not being managed by anyone. In practice, these are vacant positions and anyone can apply for them. However, the applicants will also have to take care of the sponsors.

it's really a pity that no one has yet come forward to manage the other groups of the project, I find it really well done, full of content like here on the forum, and also the sponsors are starting to invest in the Italian "board". I hope someone will step up one day and manage the international group perfectly

Bitcoin Talk Telegram Campaign Recap:

I am impressed with the result of this experiment.
We have seen a constant outflow of users from the forum toward more modern social media. This hybrid experiment with Telegram showed we could somewhat influence these dynamics, exposing more users to forum contents and maybe showing them something they would have ignored.

Well done, and looking for more implementations in other local boards.

I believe I may have expressed myself poorly earlier. What I meant was that there are already open communities available (in French, German, English, and Indonesian), but we are currently seeking candidates to serve as administrators to manage these communities.

I understood then I also misunderstood, so in summary there are already communities for other nations but no one has come forward to manage them, did I understand correctly? Hopefully someone interested in reading this thread will come forward. let's say that it is a good opportunity both for the forum which will perhaps get new subscribers and also for the telegram group which may not be interested in the forum but interacts with the chat. who knows! let's hope so

It is surprising how they created the entire section on telegram. Though I would suggest it is really not necessary but to keep Italian spirit on, I think they did great job by doing this. At least those who loved the fact of having bitcointalk section on the telegram will be more impressed with this. Personally, I love the bitcoin talk forum as it is.

There were many suggestion back then to add more stickers, to have some animated contents, or may more sections which will be able to run the videos directly and what not.

However, what really keeps bitcointalk special is it's simplicity and that silent color tone which is unchanged since the beginning. If we start adding more contents to it then it may not feel like same old forum and would take out all the fun.

Though I suggested few changes myself in regards with profile, for example adding QR codes etc but it was mild one and also insider one, related to profile.

So, by that calculation, having entire section accessible from the telegram is just too far, you know? Just personally I would be less active on it and more here. Just love that tap tap tap on the key board whenever I am reading and posting.

Exact!!!  You got it right there are already communities but there are no users.  It is a pity that they remain empty
