KeyID / Potential BitShares DNS pre-snapshot marketing strategy ideas
« on: August 06, 2014, 02:46:06 pm »
Idea 1: Bitcointalk Announcement thread
A strong well supported announcement thread in the Announcements sections - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=159.0
The main market of people looking to spend BTC on something pre-launch frequent that section. We should make a great announcement there imo.
It moves at a mile a minute so it needs to be well supported and we all need to get behind it and respond at the start for it to gain traction.
Idea 2: NameCoin Marketing
NameCoin holders are the second key target market. Presumably people holding NameCoin are doing so because they want access to something like what BitDNS will start delivering in less than a month.
A) Start a soft thread on their forums -'BitDNS, NameCoin alternative launching end Aug discussion'
B) Mystery Sharedrops - Fee Fi Fo fum, I dislike sharedrops, but if we should sharedrop to anyone that would likely be buyers it should mostly be to NameCoin imo.
C) BTCE trollbox, 80% of NMC volume is @ BTCE, they have a trollbox good idea if you have an account there to mention/promote BitDNS to the traders and direct them to snapshot announcement.
Idea 3: Change BitShares-PTS on coinmarketcap to PTS (BitDNS 21/08) (Crazy Idea)

Crazy idea - Change 'BitShares-PTS' on Coinmarkecap when it is 'snapshot hot'
From now until the BitDNS snapshot date. What about changing 'BitShares-PTS' to 'PTS (BitDNS21/08)' on Coinmarketcap.com till the snapshot date. (or whatever DNS DAC will be called)
(Also change the link when on coinmarketcap.com so that when you click on PTS it takes you to the snapshot announcement during the period PTS is 'snapshot hot'
My thinking - BitShares-PTS serves no other purpose than being a vessel for snapshots, so altering it on coinmarketcap.com when it is 'snapshot hot' is brand positive imo & also helps people understand what BitShares-PTS does in general.
CoinMarketCap is ranked 3000th in the US (FAR FAR higher than any of BitShares related sites) This is the perfect place for a prime time billboard advertising a snapshot. (Even if we have to pay CMC for hassle of changing it.)
Thoughts?
