Can we change the download URL in the reddit posts to point to:
http://bitshares.org/downloads/?citizen=marketing.methodx
Love metrics, but it does look spammy, and there no need to have "citizen" or "name" or whatever else in there.
We can simply use an innocent looking (encryped ID) link http://bitshares.org/downloads/?number=3423595208
Yep well spotted, I was wondering about that. I think my original post was around the time when there was a lot of talk about the C in DAC meaning community and so that's probably why I came up with citizen. Luckily it seems that everyone is happy to use that C interchangeably now, which is great because I think gives us more marketing flexibility.
I agree that your URL scheme looks more innocuous and less spammy. We should go with something like that, now I think about it I reckon ?uid=xxxx would be better than ?number=xxxx to keep things short. I guess it will require something off chain that would allow budding marketers to generate the UIDs. This I think is fine. If the UID is derived from the BTS account name this could be pretty bullet proof I think.
Xeroc: looks like there might be another field to add to ident (
