Cost Of Entry for an unproven system and product is too high.
I can get a better return on a $100 Facebook or twitter ad buy...that being said...I am hoping that this catches fire and goes to town.
Personally, I think you should bring in a few test cases to verify that everything is hunky-dory, and work out any gremlins [which may exist]. After that, roll it out with a lower COE for a few pilot advertisers who will provide proof of concept and verify it works. They'll also be able to provide testimonials to how well [or not] everything works.
Meanwhile, nodes get to kick back and watch the fun happen.
Just my two-pence.
Cheers
A $100 targeted ad run will not compare to Viral at all. As for test cases, we have not run a sponsor update yet on the network. We have done stress testing to ensure the network is working 100% and if you care to see examples, you can view actual people who are authed as nodes talking about it in our ANN thread, to make it easier to find within the 100 or so pages, you can start with this post and work your way forward for more actual proof of how well the system testing went.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1041025.msg11365370#msg11365370The current price structure is fair however it will rise after a few campaigns are run. This is an entry point to appeal to potential sponsors that know first hand the value of a 50k plus crypto audience seeing their "friends" talk about the sponsor's goods.
