I am a newbie on this forum and I am planning to launch an ICO soon...the project is in the pipeline... So collecting some useful info on how to make my announcement thread engaging...I have read many threads on this forum and found that few announcements are very hot topic, whereas there are many other struggling to be on top....
I think the main drive is always money. So offer some bounty and you surrely get huge attention (not saying this is the best way, it's just how it works).
But much better way is to get attention naturally (if your project is interesting, bringing something new etc. then I bet users going to notice and support it).
