Sorry for my delay in any response. I've had a busy day at work - on top of all the last minute planning for this event. So to address a few thoughts.
I understand the constraints of the operation, I was not trolling and was seriously worried that in your place in Minnesota people will be pissed off from the $1 gift. But you know marketing, especially you know what works at your place, so if you say so I am sure everything will be fine.
The handing out of Vericoin is very secondary to the bigger picture of simply trying to create awareness & interest for the future of digital currencies. I was not aware that you execute such delusional business plan and you are on the mission to "
create awareness & interest for the future of digital currencies". I thought we are having a rational conversation here about a concrete digital currency project vericoin and we aren't on irrational missions to educate human kind about digital currencies. Such ambitious aim like the vericoin community change the world should be outside of the scope of this project, especially in the consolidation phase of vericion when you need to address more pressing issues like the 8.2k price i.e. it is more rational before you educate the world try to get the crypto currency literate audience (who already know what digital currency is) into vericoin.
It's always amaze me how delusional and irrational are the hardcore cheerleader members of this community with missions like yours that aims to educate the world about digital currencies.
So far over the last 6-8 weeks I have been able to get 7 different people to invest money into Vericoin. By having simple conversations over coffee, beer, or just over the internet. One of those 7 people I got to invest in Vericoin got another 2. All together just from me personally, I have gotten 9 other people to invested some $10,000-$15,000 in Vericoin.
Which clearly indicates the solution for vericoin is not what you suggest. I also convinced a few people at the early days to invest to vericoin and I am sure most of the bag holders did the same, and still the coin has been a constant failure and continuously stagnating. What you suggest simply do not work. The simple reason what you say a logical fallacy is, because the state of the coin
primarily doesn't depend on how many people you convince, but depend on what our three wannabe coin developers deliver (or sadly don't deliver in the case of vericoin).
tldr; fuck you, fuck you, Lootz you're cool, and fuck you I'm out!
I hope your mental state was a bit better and you had a more positive attitude at the Minnesota day than this :-))))
