ANNOUNCEMENT 11 - LottoShares set to Shake Up Crowdfunding through Blockchain

[fav]

write an article for my blog and I'll post & promote it

1. Pay people to share the link in their facebook
2. Pay people to tweet the link in their twitter
3. Pay people to post about it in forums

Offering even $1 per posting with a burn budget of $500 would get you probably the same kind of reach that these so called crypto 'pr' sites get.

Use bitUSD to pay them out.... I again reference my earlier question in this thread as to why bitcoin is being used for payment and not bitshares/bitusd. It went unanswered.

Wasn't in any of the initial plans mostly. We were also going to be liquidating all Bitcoin directly to cash so we can expand operations and get a few other things in place, so I wasn't sure if adding to or putting additional sale pressure on bitshares and liquidating it would be the best.

Maybe I'm wrong, tell me I am and I'll consider it.

New users, transaction charges, and volume would all flow through BitShares. If there is a sell pressure from community members getting involved they are just the same going to have to convert BTS to BTC this way.

This would also increase the liquidity in the bitUSD market, and shows the world a use case... instead this is just supporting Bitcoin as a payment solution instead of BitShares.

Given that the shares are issued in BitShares network,  I would have thought this would be a natural fit.

Why hand over the keys to the Lamborghini for the Model-T?

Maybe I am missing something? I understand its going to be converted to cash.. it only takes one processor to do that and there are numerous exchanges that support it... including CCEDK.

The problem is a lot of these places won't even allow us to put a link to our site or even mention the name of it either lotto shares or fantasy lottery

Ok, so you need a pseudonym that doesn't use any banned key words.

MoonShotSodas.com - sort of like  The Lemon Society during the old prohibition days.



Best to make your mainstream article a commentary on your landing pad article.

Drive the right eyeballs to it with an article like "Unique Caribbean Investment Opportunities"  and mix in a few other such opportunities that fit that headline.

Two different governments on the island. It is on the Dutch side. Our current plans are for expansion to the Bahamas first and then from there

[unreadPostsSinceLastVisit]

Are there any plans to expand fantasy lotto beyond St. Martin?

Is it licensed on the Dutch side, the French side or both? (Are they two different governments?)

Def having a hard time getting press for this. 

Coindesk just declined even doing a press release, when asked why they said

"Content + Product - want to steer clear of crowdsales for such an item.

Cheers

Keith"

In the meantime...http://www.coindesk.com/?s=crowdfund    -     http://www.coindesk.com/?s=gamble     -    http://www.coindesk.com/?s=casino

We could use a little help getting some attention on this.  Unfortunately, I cannot distribute it even through my own PR service due to syndication agreement on subject material 

The irony....

Brainstorm some ideas?

Why don't you show them those links and show there's no duality on their criteria? Also there are more cryptonews sites other than coinbase that people visit. Bitcoin Magazine, Bitcoinist, Cryptocoinsnews, etc

We tried, they said sorry nope decision final.

Yeah we've reached out to the rest of the normal crypto channels for news we're just waiting to hear back

It is a licensed physical lottery and it can also perform online gaming as well. License is from Sint Maarten. It says that countries are unwilling to issue new licenses that's why this is such a unique and amazing opportunity, it was an opportunity that we had available to us to actually partner with somebody who was legally legitimate. For the question of how long, it is a newer lotto started this year, don't quote me on mumbers for payouts, but from the accounting paperwork that I saw, I gathered it was over the 6-figure mark in winnings paid
 within the first 60 days of operating.

Gov is ok with it as it is licenced.

I would have posted it to the BitShares Blog, but I have reservations in regards to the logo and other links on the site. The logo and links are to a gambling site which means I may be in violation of the major ad network I often use and may end up getting my entire site permanently blocked in many places that do not want their internet being used for gambling/related content.

Publish a short article, whereever you can, making some observation about technical trends or the latest controversies and put the link to the web site in there.  Then link to that article as a case-in-point of the problem/solution/technology in your more mainstream posts.  Requires the reader to make an extra click, so make sure the intermediate article is short and punchy and all about clicking on the link to the web site.

Use funneling techniques to arrive there indirectly.

How long has Fantasy Lotto been doing business and marketing to the Caribbean? How much in winnings have they paid out so far?
Does St. Martin sanction a public lottery?
Are there many other competitors in this sector?
How likely is the government of St. Martin to be amicable towards the project?
It says most Caribbean countries are unwilling to allow new private lotteries. Does that mean this will always be an online only lottery, and thus not limited to to the Caribbean?

Reverse psychology?

Governments Use Bitcoin Technology to Control Lotto Fever Outbreak in the Caribbean!

Then write the article from that angle and link to lottoshares.com as an example of the proposed solution and benefits to island economies.

Not only that, but it cures global warming and saves the whales!
