I am not here to promote anyone or anything accept to possibly enlighten a few people that a different approach from some of you could do a lot of good for crypto and BCT. There is so much hate and trolling that it makes it impossible for someone that may have a good idea to foster that idea. I am not saying that scammers should get off easy or that 90+% of coins aren't scams.
Thank you for what sounds like a much more reasonable response. Also thanks to kilo17 for explaining the situation. I might disagree with what you guys are saying but nevertheless I can respect that.
One note though. I don't think there is any hate. Not on my part anyway. That's a loaded word from Garza's dictionary. As well as FUD etc. None of it matters if you're running an honest venture. Do trolls affect Bitmain or Coinbase in any way? Don't think so. There are plenty of coins too that have survived Bitcointalk so it's not like it's impossible to do anything, it's more like a test that if you can't pass maybe the idea isn't as brilliant as it seemed.
Take Crestington for example, I don't think I've ever seen him lash out no matter how hard he's trolled, and he's running a frickin' parody coin with a "con" in its name. Hire him next time you start something and you'll be certifiably troll-proof
Who's been trolling me? I don't think anyone has ever trolled me? I'm just like really really ridiculously good at handling drama because I played online games with forums for years when I was younger and have worked in a lot of restaurants where people are constantly trying to grill you. Throw in a dash of good looks, some travelling and a sense of humour and your pretty much untrollable.
There are two general rules to forums that will help anyone survive, never lash out or attack people no matter what they say because arguing is pointless on the internet, wastes time and the best defense to people trolling you or making you look like a fool is to go along with it and make yourself look like even more of a fool than they can.
Some people think it's funny to make a bobble head of you? I would think it would be flattering, probably use it for advertising. Let's say you would take every meme picture people made of you and would distribute them yourself to advertise the product you are doing, free marketing! As long as you aren't going out of your way to screw people it doesn't really matter what people say.
Edit: PayCon is actually genius btw, because it has the inflation model that PayCoin would have needed to be successful in such that you have even higher inflation but you cannot buy it without knowing that it was built on opensource code without any promises. If you sell you cannot buy it back without paying more, if you own it and are Staking you may not even receive the highest rewards without optimizing your Staking and if you are doing that then you are also developing the Coin, securing it. There is a sweet spot for inflation, to have it moderately high enough that everyone will Stake it but not so high that one person can gain all the advantage or will continually drop the price over time because you want people that will trade it, create volume AND Stake as well. Calling something PayCon as a currency is the whole idea of decentralization in itself, like saying that you don't give a fuck about whether or not people see it as legitimate and it will be a success no matter what people think, got a problem with that? Simple, don't buy it because it's not pretending to be something it's not.
