Haven't checked this thread in awhile. I have a few CGB's that I'm holding long-term.
Are there any exciting new developments?
Welcome back, lots going on my friend! Check us out and join in the fun over on Reddit!
http://www.reddit.com/r/CryptogenicBullion/Thanks. I really like the responsiveness of the CGB team. Something that is crucial to investor confidence.
The only concern I have with the coin is the marketing. Does anyone have some unique marketing ideas to garner more attention to CGB? I think it has flown under the radar for too long.
You are right, I saw the potential and right away started getting the community rallied under this document:
http://www.reddit.com/r/GotCrypto/comments/1x7j2w/cgb_open_source_community_development_and/All ideas are appreciated. Right now we are focusing on developing a user base on Reddit as a rallying point to make some real magic happen. In the last month we have multiplied the quality of the services surrounding CGB by many times. It cant all happen at once, but at current pace, prepare to be amazed, and join in!
so how many of the 1,000,000 coins have been mined? where can i see these numbers?
I usually check
http://coinmarketcap.com/ but I think its broken right now. There are currently around 950K in circulation. The volatile inflation period is pretty much complete, leaving CGB ripe for investment.
Progress is definitely being made. Increasing the Reddit membership is important, but I think getting the attention of crypto website, bloggers, and doing promotions to get the attention of the community on Facebook and Twitter are essential.
The rarity of the coin, and deflationary aspects need to be emphasized to long-term investors.
Compiling a list of ideas, and then delegating responsibility to community members who have a background in marketing, design, social media expertise etc. would be a good jumping off point imo. We can create an address for donations that could be distributed to people interesting in contributing their services.
Take advantage of the huge Facebook presence also.
Just my 2 cents.
I am with ya on that. It's important to spread out to as many communities as possible. This is why I have created a framework to facilitate this. The marketing strategy document centralizes all resources needed to help forward our cause as well as a list of communities which we would like to increase presence with. It also includes ideas that we have come up with so far for viral concepts and community resources that need to be developed. All community input is welcome as far as specifics and I will add them to the document. The problem is that we are all volunteers in this effort and our payment is through tips and self satisfaction. We have been pushing a lot of updates and activity to facebook and Twitter lately. Once the wheels really get rolling I have no doubt that funding will be forthcoming as well as the professional talent it supplies. (and I should note that many members have been very generous with their personal financing of various efforts)
