I'm posting a .05 BTC bounty for someone to create EPIC signatures for TRON.

You will need to create one for ever member level to be eligible.

Would any other community members care to add to this bounty?

Here's a resized TRON logo if anyone wants to use it as their avatar:

This is awesome, and exactly the kind of community initiative this coin needs!

I am a little disappointed by some of the other posters, who seem to be able to bash large investors and supporters with a straight face while basically bragging that they would never actually support a coin and are just here for the casino experience. As if a coin would just magically fund itself somehow and make them millionaires. All the top market cap coins are very well funded and supported... take DASH/DRK coin for example. I am old friends with one of the backers for that project, and if it weren't for him, DASH would never have been able to afford all its developers, get added to bitfinex, etc.

Just as I suspected, aabtc and the twitter traders are heavy involved. They know nothing about crypto code and only want to pump and dump coins to take your money (that is a fact for all traders). Think about it for 5 min. Have fun gambling trying to ride a whale but for me this is a total P&D garbage coin. Nothing interesting about it besides volume. #tradersarebloodsuckers

These people do not care about crypto in the slightest. They only want your money. Ask yourself what warrants this kind of market cap? And if your only response is a twitter whale then GTFO quick.

Well this guy obviously does 0 research. What a bad trader.

What's interesting about it is tron seems to have started a new staking method. It's a minor change sure, but dynamic staking is hella awesome, and will most likely be the new standard for distribution.

That's it? That's all you have? Dynamic staking? ROFL. I think the hype is now about some shark tank for shitcoins thing.

Lol, ok, this is going to be a long post. First of all, as I mentioned, I am not "the whale" in this. In fact, as of last night I'm only the 5th largest holder now. I don't think you're going to make too many friends talking poorly about traders to, well, basically a community of traders. Let he in this forum who has never traded cast the first stone. What, is the coin supposed to just buy itself now too? And I don't understand how its an issue that I don't know crypto code. I used to mainly invest in biotechs, and I'm not even a doctor nor do I have a background in pharmacology. Are only coders allowed to invest and support cryptocurrencies now? RIP any hope of adoption.

As for the shark tank for shitcoins idea, I think most of the largest investors in the project have actually vetoed it for the time being. I too am of the opinion that TRON should focus resources on itself before helping others. For the same, obvious reasons, they also tell you to put oxygen masks on yourself before you help children...

Of course, west is free to use the remaining funds for that project as long as the core features are delivered.

Since everyone seem curious about how I got invested in this coin, I'll set the record straight here. I use the tried and true strategy of bookmarking ocminer's (the suprnova pool guy) latest posts page and mine anything remotely promising as soon as he posts the pool is up. Then, I usually try to contact the dev and talk one-on-one, figure out what their intentions are with the coin and if I should buy more. If the dev seems sincere and I see other investors putting their ass on the line as well, then I consider investing more and offering my help. This is a finer filter than it seems because barely any coin make it past the first stage. If you follow my twitter, you will see that my two recent buys were P7C and TRON. I dropped one and kept the other purely based on my first impression on talking to the dev. https://twitter.com/ActualAdviceALT/status/588905811281195008 There are a lot of duds using this strategy, but I document both the successes and the failures on my twitter, and the EV is definitely positive. Anyways TRON passed those tests, and I decided to get more involved to make sure things are done properly. I love that about the crypto investment scene - its so nascent and new that any random stranger on the internet can have a positive affect on their investment simply by offering help the project. I happen to be posting more than the other backers because English is not their first language. Also, I volunteered mainly my time, whereas they volunteered mainly funding.

One could argue that the initial features of the coin seems to be an amalgamation of archcoin's room, dash-style masternodes/anon, startcoin's alt funder model, and tilecoin IoT. Thats a direct result of what the backers want in the coin. I know that the largest holder is funding this in part because he wants to see TRON do IoT better than its been done in the past. If you want to see something happen with TRON and its a good idea, I'm sure they would be delighted to have your support/funding/time on board.
