I posted this to Bullions Telegram
https://t.me/joinchat/FkBLVEimXQscVn1cetdd4gJust some thoughts I have had from thinking this weekend. I hope people take the time to read it. Let me know what you agree with/disagree/possible issues with ideas. I know I am not a part of the dev team but am an investor with ideas. Ideas are easier said than done though.
This isn't full time for you guys now from my understanding but at what point would the four of you go full time Bullion. This is a big deal and know it needs to be carefully thought out.
I appreciate the work going on behind the scenes from developers. I have done thankless jobs in the past and understand how this can be similar especially with new people who don't understand what all goes into it. Thank You!
I am starting to read the older Reddit posts to better grasp everything and will finish that this week. I plan to educate myself more into how coding/development is done.
I think Bullion can be the worldly coin. The Dev team so far it looks like is from the United States(Chris "elambert"), Canada(VonSpass) Belgium(Alexandre "Alex4J"), Portugal(Malafaya).
I see Bullion as being the Facebook to Bitcoins Myspace. Maybe a bad comparison because of the books current dilemma but a good one nonetheless. You have the old inefficient/costly bitcoin mining going on that non technical people do not care about. The POSP and BPNs are more energy efficient/easier to run and the rewards system is a bigger aspect for the masses than understood currently I believe. People love to the feeling of being rewarded myself included.
Some of this may already be in the process apologise if it is.
Okay on to ideas:
Website: Would add the Bullion Widget from Coinmarketcap that shows current price and volume. Another option that is probably way more difficult but to make it more worldly is have the current USD price but also the option for all major currencies as a drop down option? Adding more when possible
Have a spot of the website stating Short term/Long Term goals of the Developers.
Simplicity: I cannot overstate that we need to have a "How to use your Vault: page on the new website. Explaining it as Simply as possible(Child like). I avoided getting into crypto for quite a while because it seemed so hard to get into. Finally went with Coinbase because of its simple layout. You guys are heading into the right direction with the Coinbook listing because it sounds like they are going to educate their buyers. To further back up the education that Coinbook will be giving it's customers and give them more confidence see if it's possible to add to Coinbooks listing a "How to use your Bullion Vault and be Rewarded!" or something along those lines.
Terminology:
You already have 1/100 or .01 of a CBX being called a Bull and multiples are Bulls. We need to prepare to start talking in terms of Bulls in the near future as the CBX price will increase. People that aren't able to buy that much will associate better with Bulls. Currently a staking reward is over .04 CBX. Switch that to Bulls and it is 4+ Bulls that have been rewarded. Which one would sound better to the masses. It would be the whole number reward of Bulls received. Maybe even force future updates of the vault to automatically be in Bulls when loaded and bigger bag holders change it to CBX totals.
Going back to widget for Bullion. Maybe have the full price of 1 CBX and 1 Bull on the intial website page.
Rewards/Apps:
Is it possible to make an app where all it would do is have people put their Vault address in it and have it tie into CBX Rich list and the app would send a message/notification something like "Congratulations you've received 4+ Bulls from Staking" with our logo if they have been running their vault from home so they can see the progress while out in the real world? Once again I think the sense of a reward for an investor is a major player.
Conclusion:
I will think of more things that come to my head. Hope to hear feedback and once again Ideas are easier said than done
Added:
I think your creation is great and the Bullion Brand it could go sky rocketing quickly and become a full time job. Devs and early adopters need to be rewarded and I get that and support it. Another thing is if you a looking in being involved in charity down the road after getting you and the devs set. Maybe something like the "The Bullion Initiative" worldwide charity just would have to make sure proof of the work being done and be as transparent as possible with representatives in countries to show proof of where the funds are being allocated.
