We should come up with a way to start distributing Wyvern to gamers & other interested parties who haven't heard about it yet; get the name and brand out there some more.
Maybe miners could agree to sponsor some kind of airdrop event with proof of interest - require a Steam account, and distribute Wyvern according to hours played, for example.
Thoughts?
I agree that we need a marketing strategy; most gamers don't know Wyvern exists. The airdrop idea is interesting - would that be appealing to gamers?
Another option could be sponsorship of a tournament / player / team in eSports - maybe DOTA / CSGO / League of Legends? Any team / tournament ideas? We'd need to crowdfund the sponsorship and appoint a representative, maybe one of the coin devs.
Those are both interesting sounding ideas. I'm not familiar with airdrops, how do they work?
An airdrop is when coins are given away for free, usually in proportionality to some previous resource or proof of identity - e.g. assigning coins based on held BTC at a certain block, which is easy to prove. That probably doesn't make sense for Wyvern, since we'd want to attract new users and particularly gamers, but maybe something analogous could work - like requiring a Steam login, and distributing proportional to hours played (or just some flat amount for a Steam account). There probably are other options of that sort; that's just the first I thought of.
Of course, this would need to be sponsored by miners - but I think that would be feasible; it's in their incentive to broaden adoption of the currency.
