Synch, has this been distributed via a paid for press release service?
If not I would like to pledge $500 in BTC for a paid press release that gets delivered to premium financial sites like Wall Street Journal, yahoo finance etc. I know a service that will hit a ton of top sites and get lots of indexing on search engines like google and yahoo.
In the press release we can also embed images and file attachments like pdfs and even a video if we want. We can also link to the a news section of the XC site so people can keep informed (lots of people won't know about bitcointalk).
We haven't got to rush this and can spend time preparing it carefully.
I will cover the cost of the release and send you the BTC in advance. In terms of constructing the release and the content I will leave that to you and the rest of the XC team. I am impressed with how you put everything across. We may need to "dumb it down" slightly though, so it doesn't go too far over everyone's heads. My only input is that in the article we make a small comparison at some point to Bitcoin (something a lot of people know) and highlight the strength of proof of stake, XC anonymity etc. Comparing to things the public know already will be a fruitful approach.
I will discuss the company I would like us to use and anything else over PM.
Please message me.
Hi all
Just to let you know that Mr_Random's very generous donation for a press release is going toward a paid campaign by PRWeb this week.
If you'd like to increase its impact, feel free to donate BTC to 15wMLApFR6Xyxn5QtvHtMy9GSWuTY231oU.
Here's to making XC a household name,
Arlyn
I was just about to ask what the plan was for mr. randoms donation, good to see we're about to turn up the heat and get the word out.
I'll donate $100 more, logging into coinbase now.
Lets get the party started.
Received. Thank you!
If anyone else wants to donate, please see the BTC address in synechist post quoted above. Even a small donation by a handful of peope could make a big impact on pr for rev 2.
Lets tell the world.
