Title: Crazy Idea. Change 'BitShares-PTS' on Coinmarketcap when 'snapshot hot'?
Post by: Empirical1 on August 06, 2014, 02:42:29 pm
Crazy idea - Change 'BitShares-PTS' on Coinmarkecap when it is 'snapshot hot'

From now unitl the BitToast snapshot date. What about changing 'BitShares-PTS' to 'PTS (BitToast 21/08)' 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?

Edit: I've just referenced it as BitToast here but it will obv. be whatever name Toast actually decides.

Would they do that for us? I'm sure they've fielded some strange requests before. A bribe perhaps?

We could sell it as another reason for people to check their site regularly.

Or ask Brent.Allsop to ask them. He says he has their ear.

Similar to the above, the idea of changing (even if we pay a fee) 'BitShares PTS' to something like,
'PTS - Music Snapshot 10th Oct' on CMC with a link could be quite useful if it was do-able.

(Advertising both BitShares Music and the purpose of BitShares PTS.)
