Idea to get more users

Ok! New users board it is then. Should there even be a post count restriction then if we are targeting the new accounts?
[/quote]I can see your point also :) That is why I suggested a bump link thread from the alt-section = Best of both worlds? New crypto users and established ‘well hay maybe I might try FTC’ users.
Set a minimum of 1 weeks membership and 5 x [i]non[/i] ‘bump my stats posts’?.. Or… -

Here’s BobBlast’s Feathercoin giveaway thread:https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=180180.0
[/quote]D2 could bump that thread with a link to the new user thread. 8)

Perhaps have them sign up here as a user as well as a requirement?
That might work too. I’ll send the 500 FTC one we have all the details sorted out.
-
Hmm… Maybe we can give 3 coins per sign up but then also offer like a 250 Feathercoin prize?
How it would work is it would end randomly between a range of 3-5 days, and if the user has made at least 5 legitimate posts and has logged in a day or two before the selected drawing day, they would receive the prize? It gives people a reason to participate for a while after they’ve signed up, and I don’t think a 3 coin sign up is really going to motivate people to make a ton of dummy accounts to “get rich”.
I’ll also donate some coinage to the cause :)
EDIT: Sent you 649 to the donation address, thanks for volunteering to do it d2!
-
Not a problem, just can’t wait to see our forums overtake Litecoin’s in terms of activity :) And glad I could give you that idea!
-
I’d give out coins after they have completed some activism not just a couple post
We want more active based community!!
Cheers -

[/quote]Yeah that would work too along with asyrs+tsunami idea as one…Ok D2 go for it! I’ll send the funds over now…
As for getting banned If they do then we could have a field day with the publicity :D < I really don’t think they would though! 8)
Just post your final plan of action so we all now what the script is…

Yeah we may want to rethink the FTC forum account creation requirement. I think we will get banned or the thread will be removed.
Just saying I can see the possibility of that happening.
So what if people get multiple coins…
Just make it so that each user gets 0.5 FTC then if someone is that eager to get 10 FTC so be it…let them go make 20 accounts lol.

Okay I sent 500 FTC to 6gYgwums4n36Y78gv6n1i3An8h6SLV89S7.

[/quote]Yea, I did kinda expect to get banned since that’s pretty much incentivizing users to leave bitcointalk.

[/quote]OMG 0.5 each? That’s 3500 users with the current pot at 1750! What happened to 5 FTC each? Could we at least bring it up to 2 FTC? That will still be 875 transactions for me to record.
[/quote]Keep it at 1 FTC per account. Too little for spammers to get really excited and enough for new users to get interested. A whole coin :) BTW, the pot is going to last for a long time this way.
-
1 FTC is fine. I think that will incentivize users to setup an account download the client and post an address.
Sounds good. :)
-
Sounds and looks good to me.
Any other input guys?

It’s ALIVE!!! https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=234671
[/quote]Getting spammed. Should have made a self-moderated topic.

Looks great D2 - Nice one for stepping up to this. 8)

Thanks to D2, Smoothie, UKMark and the rest who made this a reality.
-
Thanks to D2 for taking this on and the others who have donated.
This is the type of atmosphere we need. It costs money but it is well worth the end result.
-
Wow 1 day and 7 pages of the thread full.
D2 thanks again for doing this. Lets see how many people join us. :)
