I'm very interested in ascertaining help from the community / cunning students in infiltrating Facebook and other social media groups and perhaps copy and pasting a pre-written pitch for DNotes that I will write myself and get checked off by DYNA. I also think an Infographic that advertises the launch along with the most crucial and succinct message that we are trying to push incorporated into it - which I'm sure I can get a really good friend to do at a low cost, and I would like to fund myself since he will probably only want NZ dollars. I will however gift him DNotes too, and watch his excitement as his Notes do their thing.

I personally believe that there are people out there termed 'mavens', who have an inordinate amount of social influence on the large network of friends and followers they tend to have. These are the types of people I would like to get DNotes into the hands of, and I'm sure we all know a maven - that friend who gets along with everybody really well, has a large network of friends, and the friend people often emulate the behaviour and style of. Mavens set trends, and if you know a maven, I think getting DNotes into their hands could be the best thing for this coin. The advantage is, is that DNotes can continue to fly under the radar a little while longer while these 'mavens' hold onto their DNotes. They may or may not be excited about holding onto them, but sure enough within a year I'm pretty sure they will be! I would hope that this timeline would allow these 'trend-setters' to exert their influence, at the 'perfect time' when the DNotes team decide to protrude from their shell and push a PR campaign that will encourage mass adoption, and fly under the radar no more.

I'm interested in hearing people's thoughts anyway. I'm sure anybody who went to university and school will remember that there were mavens or 'cool kids' that everybody copied. Let's bring them to crypto!



From Wikipedia

"Malcolm Gladwell used the term (Mavens) in his book The Tipping Point (Little Brown, 2000) to describe those who are intense gatherers of information and impressions, and so are often the first to pick up on new or nascent trends. The popularity of the work of Safire and Gladwell has made the word widely used in their particular contexts. Gladwell also suggests that mavens may act most effectively when in collaboration with social influencers - i.e., those people who have wide network of casual acquaintances by whom they are trusted, often a network that crosses many social boundaries and groups.

In network theory and sociology, a maven is someone who has a disproportionate influence on other members of the network.[citation needed] The role of mavens in propagating knowledge and preferences has been established in various domains, from politics to social trends"



I also like using CRISP instead of CR.I.S.P. This is a very cool community in that, none of us know each other, but our shared interest in crypto has meant that we have met online and are now working towards common goals. It also turns out that there seems to be a lot of talented people in this community. Maybe that is because so many people in crypto are the 'early adopter' mavens that I just talked about?
