Hey everyone, if you've been keeping up with the HyperGG development, I am Mr.B. This past week I've been working on making a sophisticated HYPER plugin for Source-based games specifically Counter Strike:GO right now.
To me, here are the two biggest problems with HYPER right now.
1. Difficult to purchase - I mean sure, if you have an account on an exchange, you send them a check, they cash it, your account is credited and you purchase BTC. After that approximately 5-7 day period, you then need to move those BTC to Bittrex to then exchange the BTC to HYPER. Finally once the HYPER is purchased it can be moved to your HYPER wallet or anywhere else. I think one HYPER's main goals should be to make the process of buying HYPER easier and less time consuming on the buyers end. Sure it's no problem if waiting for the process I described isn't a problem but if it could realistically be set-up to allow direct transfer of fiat currency to HYPER, that would be optimal for HYPER's growth.
2. Gamer's don't know about HYPER - Sure you may be a gamer and know about HYPER, but I can say right now the vast majority of gamer's out there have no idea that HYPER exists. While there is still a lot of work to be done in terms of HYPER's infrastructure before it should be a mainstream thing, it would be a good idea to start spreading the word and getting people hyped for what's to come.
These are issues that we've discussed in the past, but I think it's important to talk about them and figure out how to spread the word of HYPER outside of the cryptocommunity. I agree it is really limited as to how HYPER can be purchased. I heard that there has been developments going on to work with a solution to directly make that conversion between a currency like USD to HYPER. I think that is really important. I would bet most people would not really feel comfortable using an exchange especially. The easier the process the better!
I think it's important to get involved with the outside community (aka the real world with people who have never heard of cryptocurrency or have heard of it but don't care). What would be a good way to introduce them to use HYPER? I was thinking of spreading the word at some high schools and colleges eventually. I know that @Crypto_Believer is thinking of creating stickers which would be awesome!!! It would be a great start to just spread those around at events.
If anything, just mentioning it in different forums and gatherings and even during online gaming could be a start.
