I have some press contacts that would be interested in the Counterparty story after the burn period has ended.

With Wwat press story should we lead?
  • Counterparty and the end of Proof of Burn.
  • Counterparty and creating your own currency without mining
  • Counterparty: Satoshi Nakamoto is back with a new shadowy group

I am curious and seeking new ideas from the community.

From a professional standpoint, I like 2. From a "sensationalism sells" standpoint, 3 sells.
XCP is most differentiated by its proof of burn origins. It is the first ever crypto that did this isn't it?

The other things are stuff other crypto can claim and with limited PR ammunition, I would think it best to go with strongest point. Proof of Burn is so radical, just getting that out there should get a lot of coverage.

Once people find out about proof of burn and they want to dig deeper, then all the other stuff can be presented.

Yes and thank you. So you're looking at #1. The Proof of Burn idea is the first evert for a project of this size. The Proof of Burn story can have radical perspective and the coverage would be interesting. Yes, the bait will bring more eyes to the project and more work with XCP.

Your thoughts are helping here. Good work.

Depends on who the audience is, if it is a general audience. Not familiar with Bitcoin, they might not have a clue as to what proof of burn is.
In which case, describing uses cases like -> trading assets (gold, USD) in a decentralized manner and the betting platform might help.
