Nice to see more creatives around. However i want to ask what's the difference between Agora and bitcointalk Marketplace section. I know that BTT is the most active space for crypto trades/deals because of forum popularity + other forum features enabling fast and reliable deals. How you plan to compete with BTT forum? I think this is a major question to qualify your service. Do you plan to make ads here? Will never be surprised as we saw another forum promoting itself using promotional campaigns in another forum (here in btt and other forum lunched by Yobit scam exchange).
Never thought about advertising here, it could be an option! I personally don't see it as a competition, more a collaboration, as I assume we are all driven by same values and have the same mission:
allow online payments to be sent directly from one party to another without going through a
financial institution (govt included).
I jump in BTT because I know there are plenty of experienced traders and people around here we could learn from. Especially on how to build trust and how to make a marketplace successful. Community management and moderation best practices are another of those skills we aim to master.
If I need t think abut differentiating pints between SN and BTT, then the majors important ones are;
-
No need to create a SN account: Users can posts anonymously (at a cost)
-
Pay2Post drastically reduce spam posts and automated bots, even with symbolic amount of 1 sat per comment
-
Community moderation offer the benefits to make more visible posts that have been upvoted (with zaps) and less visible posts that have been downvoted (downzap = pay to push visibility down)
-
Different moderation approach that tend to lower visibility of spammy/scummy posts instead of censoring and deleting. Content stay, it just less visible or not visible at all if it has low community reputation.
