a) Exchange Listings: What if an exchange was able to offer every one of their clients a little bit of "free money" and get some in return (say 10% of what is distributed to their clients for performing a service that ByteBall wants) - a little taste of ByteBall for all their clients as a promotion - do you think the Exchange would like that? I do. It would be a Fantastic No-Brainer Promotion that I would jump on in a second (good for them, good for us, good for everyone).
I've been thinking about this too, but I see several possible problems:
-it has to be an exchange with full KYC to prevent double accounts (people are already selling Binance accounts, and Bittrex for example has disabled all unverified accounts).
-you risk airdropping money on old unused accounts, basically just making the exchange richer.
-many people who "trade altcoins" on exchanges don't ever install a wallet on their own. Even if giving more free money to more traders can pump up the price, it doesn't accomplish Tony's goal of getting actual users to really use the wallet.
-you have to trust the exchange, you can't verify how many users they have.
Imagine if we could sign up a couple million new users in a few weeks time by offering this to a few exchanges we feel are worthy.
Reaching millions is the dream! The
Transition Bot currently shows
only 69249 entries, and that includes many people with more than one address. Giving away many millions of dollars worth of Bytes and Blackbytes didn't reach that many people, and yet, this little number of people already lead to a great value.
What if we set up a Smart Contract whereby a Byteballer Invites someone to participate, and gets a 10% refferal fee (or other percentage)?
This has the same problem of abuse: how do you know they're not just referring themselves? I alone have installed at least 7 wallets already!
I think the best advertising for any product is mouth to mouth marketing. Most Byteball users got many bytes for free. Just send some textcoins to people you think might like it, and let Byteball roll!
