What would you like to call it then? An award? A certification? A validation? A verification? An accreditation? Something else perhaps?
How much were you paid to give this a platinum thingy?
It's also not a 'thingy'.
As I said before, it's a paid marketing slot. It's not that difficult, really.
How much we charge to our customers is none of your business. If you really want to know, I suggest you create a project yourself, assemble a fantastic team, convince them to follow your vision, create all the marketing material including a website, logo, banners, create a white paper with innovative ideas, get it translated into several languages, create slack channels, forum announcements, Twitter account, Reddit account, and then once you have all that you can submit your project to Coinschedule, we will review it and if we are very impressed we might contact you and offer a paid marketing slot. Then you will know.
