This has not yet officially begun. I want feedback from you guys before i begin.
facebook experiment:
I will rent your facebook page to promote vertcoin.
Go to vertcoin.org and download your wallet.
Share the IB Times Article linked below on your facebook page, set to public so I can verify it without being your friend.
http://uk.news.yahoo.com/vertcoin-soaring-cryptocurrency-set-surpass-bitcoin-165058275.htmlMake the first comment on your post as a receive address to receive your vertcoin.
Make the second comment the instructions above so your friends can get free vertcoin.
Three people who do the above will be drawn at random to receive 300 VTC.
Everyone who shares it will receive one VTC. Allow 72 hours for me to catch up.
No new fb pages are eligible. No friend farms will be eligible, i will check each one personally and i know real people from stick figures so don't even try.
All straight up legit. First 1,000 to do the above will qualify and three of them will receive 300 bonus.
Ok feedback welcome. I dont want to go all pt barnum with the marketing but at 200 average friends on facebook that hits 200k people which beats most webiste circs.
Thoughts?
I would be careful about having people post to their friends with instructions on how to get free vert following the above. If you come across as Facebook friend spamming (like Zynga or King) most people tend to ignore it. Anything involving "How to get free x" tends to be ignored by most people. The best bet is to link people to a separate page (or even a post in this topic) that explains how they can earn free vert, start mining, buy vert with USD (by converting BTC), etc. If that post happens to mention near the end people can also share on their FB, great. But I'd avoid "share this for free stuff!" as the main call to action if you want it to have any lasting impression.
