Technical Support / bitUSD as our killer app and getting merchants to accept it
« on: January 29, 2016, 07:21:03 pm »
I've been off grid from the community for a bit, so i apologize if this topic is a repeat. if so, i'd love to see the discussion.
Yesterday was my first time opening up my Web wallet and playing around for at least a few months, and i have to say i'm VERY impressed with where the devs have gone with the technology! We have an awesome infrastructure in place, just need to attract people (and money) to play in our sandbox.
I still see bitUSD as our most valuable product and pushing for its acceptance by merchants, or just use in online funds transfers would be the best way to put the blockchain to good use. Would anyone else be interested in a campaign to market bitUSD? Off the top of my head I'm thinking this would entail getting it incorporated into cryptocurrency payment services (i just petitioned here: https://www.coinpayments.net/addcoin ...everyone else reading this should also petition), games, gambling sites, tip bots, and anything else you can think of that transfers value online.
Any other ideas for sparking bitUSD demand? it'd be great if we could get some businesses to issue bitUSD-denominated bonds on our DEX.
*I also like bitCNY, but don't think the Chinese government would be too accepting of merchants using it. Nonetheless, any Chinese nationals on here should feel free to adopt a similar marketing campaign locally!
