I am creating a new blockchain project, I have in the past launched a failed ICO where I had not built a community around my project ( I consider this my immature days as I was less prepared) but right now I have projects revolving around the Blockchain & Cryptocurrency community 2 of them which are custom blockchains, one I am wanting to release within the next month or two and I'm eager to learn from your experiences and gather insights.
Here's what I'd like to discuss:
1. How do you successfully build a community around a blockchain project without revealing too much prematurely before building a strong enough community?
2. What steps have worked for you in fostering engagement and attracting early supporters?
3. When is the right time to start engaging with the community? Should it be during development or closer to launch?
4. How can I establish trust within the community while maintaining security?
5. What communication channels (besides Bitcointalk) have you found effective for community engagement?
