I have a litte big idea for a datacoin promotion.

I thought of a way to rise datacoins degree of knowledge in public and to get people to buy/generate/use some datacoins. But it came to me during a shower...

I think to get people involved in a new coin, you need a really good incentive. And not in Datacoin, but in Bitcoins or Litecoins. I think it should be around 0.1 Bitcoin or more, to motivate people do the task.

So here is the thing...

Set up a giveaway, which will run 3-5 Days. The winner will be drawn from all participants of the giveaway.
To qualify for the giveaway, everyone has to post a twitter post like:

"@datacoin Secure filestorage. New 0.1BTC giveaway: bit.ly/BlaBla" (link to giveaway-post)

Than, that twitterlink, including bitcointalk username and a BTC Adress will be safed in a txt file:

"

http://twitter.com/link-to-post
BTC: 1GBTkDzYCvgo9Xm8VvnB9eahcdSpnE4xnJ
"

and that file need to be uploaded to to the blockchain.
Thaaan, the TXT-ID can be posted in the giveaway thread.
Maybe even require to change the bitcointalk signature until end of the giveaway.

I think it would be a great way to introduce the senddata/getdata feature in the native client...

What do you think?

it will be blockchain spamming, did you think about it?

Why do you say that? As i understand the idea it will be one time upload of all the comments that have been written on that twitter. I like the idea cause we need to do something to promote the features of Datacoin. Not only the name now.

Edit: Well i reread it and indeed all people will have to upload something but will this be so big really? After all we want users to upload stuff no matter what.

Still in case we do it i wouldnt like the idea of bitcoins. I would prefer it to be in Datacoins. And i could participate if someone else wanted...
