If Fluffy's new Monero project for Globee gets funded and succeeds as they hope, it'll go a long way towards erasing any lingering bad juju anyone may have for his little inadvertent pump & dump prank earlier this year.
I'm gonna pitch in a couple moneroj later today: this kind of thing "more marketing" is exactly what the naysayers have been naysaying for-frikkin-ever that Monero does not have, but NEEDS more of.
So at the very least, this project ought to shut them up a bit LOL
I hate to bring the other side of the coin here but it needs to be considered.
I agree with this analysis, and I am excited in general. And have donated more than I have to any other project so far.
But if the deal goes south, or this fails becaused of any reason it will deliver a SERIOUS blow to the image of Monero. I hope they know what they are doing.
Asking the community for 4500XMR (currently nearly a half mil USD) and then not delivering would be devastating image wise.
