Why don't you go work with them and help tipping with money go viral? or is that what you are doing here.. marking is NOT tipping... and if you cant understand the difference go to china, walk around and talk to them about MARKING and about TIPPING. Talk to them about MONEY and about MARKS and see if they notice a difference.
That's 1/3 of the world.. maybe there really is an INCOMPATIBLE difference between the two?
You need to understand the mere mention of that word is VERY OFFENSIVE to some peoples in the east, and often SPECIFICALLY those you THINK you are "helping" by "tipping".
Apart from melvin being a bit of a CT fanboy and his valuation, I agree with everything else. If that excel sign up sheet was presented a few months ago I would have been the first person signing up to help, but now I simply don't trust the project. I know this is supposed to be decentralized etc., but you need to make sure the project is on solid ground before you let it take off on its own and thats simply not the case yet. I know you say price doesnt matter, but it does ... A lot of people were super excited and put a lot of time and money into BTM (via speculative investment, mining at a loss etc., development, reaching out to platforms that might utilize marking) and all they have to show for it is silence and a strategy pivot that favours larger investors and centralization ... That's not right. Anyways, Im still here, but Im taking a step back and approaching this project much more cautiously, if and/or when we have proof that things are still moving forward i'll get more involved. Anyways, good luck moving forward, and hopefully BTM gets back on track sooner than later.
Edit: oh and I can't say I agree that tipping is more or less equivalent to marking ...
