Bitcoin exchange startup: where do I start with marketing?
by
lovegood
on 08/05/2015, 13:09:04 UTC
Hey, my name's Amose, I decided to start my own Bitcoin exchange and run it from my home in the RSA.

It's coming along and I'm starting to think further down the line. Here's the thing: I'm good (somewhat)
at programming but my marketing skills are similar to those of a 70 year old granny, so I basically have
no idea how I'm gonna promote it when it's launched. I want to ask for your help to find a good sources
to get some basic understanding of internet marketing before I launch. Preferably free or very cheap
to get access to. Thanks!

You've already opened thread here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1011386.0

BetVIP.com is the world's first licensed Bitcoin sportsbook platform. Offering the wide array of sports and live in-play
betting that you would expect from a top fiat sportsbook - but exclusively taking, and paying out, bets in bitcoin.

Find out more!

check the given link is not working so put that link in correct format, when i tried to click i got that error,
i think something missing or broken link.

Server not found

Firefox can't find the server at [http.

It's from this contest that I found out about the child milliomaire from Dubai.

Fascinating. My vote's for the lucky little guy.


What about  Christopher Koch?

I love Koch's story.

I believe the coin can be mined according to the initial whitepaper.

They say there'll be no asics, just cpu mining.

Looks like they're going to have special pools for people to mine it. But not yet.

Yes. I bought it. It looks 100x better than any other ICO out there and there is real company behind it. So..

only time will tell the rest.

I thought so too. Have you seen this? Looks like it was fun.

My friend was there and said it was really good.

Re: Recent Court docs show Silk Road and DPR were sunk by a leaky login CAPTCHA

Link to the whole declaration of FBI agent that lead the SR investigation http://ia700603.us.archive.org/21/items/gov.uscourts.nysd.422824/gov.uscourts.nysd.422824.57.0.pdf

TL;DR:
- CAPTCHA on SR site wasn't configured correctly with TOR and leaked the IP of the server
- Server was in Iceland, Icelandic authorities helped the FBI to get server backups etc
- In that backups there were IPs to other backup servers (some USA, some foreign) and FBI got that too
- At that point, Ulbricht was "only" the lead suspect
- They used pen registers (routing only, no contents) to confirm the identity by checking when he was online on the ISP + IPs/ports used and when he was online at the SR forum
- After that they arrested him

wtf is a 'pen register'?

Re: How Average Joe thinks about Bitcoin

The comments at the bottom of this article are hilarious.

Many of them seem to echo this sentiment:
"Bitcoin started by an unknown in 2009 and people are buying into it. I think there is going to be a lot people either very broke or very disappointed in the end. Someone is making money here and it probably isn't the average Joe."

Misinformed? Clearly.
Knee-jerk reaction? Definitely.
Should be dismissed? I'm not sure.

Re: Predictions : Mining of new bitcoins stops tommorow
by

Miners fees make up .3% of the money miners make, meaning that if the fees raised by 100x then miners would still only make a third of what they make now. Which in fantasy land means that miners just gracefully exit and cease to exist, but really means you now have a drop of hash rate and also a group of people with machines that make hashrate that got fucked over by bitcoin and have no wish for it to succeed.

For iOS, breadwallet.

Strongly agree. And I say that as someone who has played around with all of the available iOS wallets. Deterministic plus beautiful and incredibly easy to use interface.

I fail to even understand his example. So when a central bank exists other companies, investment firms and banks are unable to rob you blind? Eh yes they can. He's mixing up arguments, like so many people. Decide what point you want to make and research that.

1 year = 12 months. BTC price is still ~4x higher than last year at the same time.

If you discount the huge mainstream media hype that happened last year, temporarily and artificially inflating the price to $1000, you would be able to make the case for a continuing upward trend over the life of BTC.

If jlaw is basically going to be the reason why bitcoin will make another bull-run, then my mind will be fucking blown and nothing in this world will make sense to me anymore.

Actually, it would make sense.
The hackers sold the pictures for Bitcoin.
Perhaps not the best light to present crypto under, but there's a real direct link between the two.

I much prefer my sweet sweet bitcoin to pics of a pretty girl. She may be famous, but in the end I see girls as pretty every day. I feel sorry for her tbh

I do feel bad for all of them and the feeling of entitlement and lack of empathy from the public at large is just saddening.
