\[CONTEST\] \*\*\* $1000 worth of FTC + 1000 Coin Giveaway -- HELP requested \*\*\*

This is my two cents to the competition idea. One of the most fun competitions i have participated was the Victor Ludus PS Vita competitions, dot2dots in facebook and riddles back when the Vita launched in 2012. The competition was organized trough twitter and included several competitions throughout the launch.
You could riddle or challenge (for example questions about FTC, the lore of cryptos in general, challenge to find some hidden message or detail in a youtube video, dot2dot challenge in Facebook, compare two pictures and find differences and many more) via the official FTC twitter to win 5,10 even 20FTC. These series of competitions could go trough the whole month of June actively and then a bit easier afterwards. In order to participate you would need to follow the official FTCtwitter and reply with the correct answer and hashtag #FTCRiddle/competition or whatever. First one/two/three to do this after the challenge is posted is/are the winner/s and could claim their prize by contacting via PM in twitter. The game could be advertised beforehand in btc-e trollbox, reddit, twitter, forum and other places. Between competitions you could invite people to check out the forum and the community and even join. This could be relatively cheap way to get people interested and new followers, get some publicity among the cryptocurrencies and let some of the newcomers chance to get some FTC.
Cryptorally has done this and gotten seemingly good publicity and followers and they have done this somewhat simple by just challenging people to promote their twitter in trollbox for some LTC. I think the secret is to try to do this in good taste so to speak and not to worry about giving out FTC “cheap”. The idea of this competition is simply raise awareness of FTC and the community and do this in a fun and even in a challenging way. You could even implement some of the other competitions from this thread to twitter after you have gotten some new followers (slogan for FTC, best use of the FTC logo…) To setup this competition you really don’t need anything you already haven’t got. Just your imagination is really the only limit in this. Hope this helps.

edit: after reading the original post again just wanted to clarify that you could obviously use USD or bigger amounts of FTC. This would be simply series of smaller contests. In this contest style it would be easier (or would it?) to use only FTC for prizes. Ideally get a lot of buzz and many different players and winners

I’m watching these!

My Idea:
An e-marathon.
In order to get new featherheads, it has to be something that anyone can participate in without having to jump through hoops. The more complex or demanding the contest, the less likely the average internet-goer will actually care enough to participate. I’ll jot down some random events that must be accomplished to win, but these will just be ideas for thought:
All the legs of the race are kept secret until the day of the contest launch. But there will be plenty of advertising beforehand so we have a bunch of people ready to go.
On the day the contest begins, the first leg of the race will be to post in a thread X (this gets more users to register to the forum, and rewards those who already have an account and can insta-post)
Leg 2: Create an FTC wallet (this also will benefit contributing members who already have an account here. Perhaps post the address in the aforementioned thread X)
Leg 3: Make a pro-FTC tweet/facebook status and screenshot it
Leg 4: Similar to what kagemusha posted, you have to take a picture of a feathercoin logo you put up in a public place where it would be reasonable that X # of people will see it per day.
Leg 5: Tattoo FTC on your neck
Leg 6: make a thread with proof of you completing all the tasks
Again, these are just ideas for what must be completed to win. The marathon aspect of it allows you to essentially get the same benefit of multiple different contests all in one.

Btw… I’m sending everyone coins in the next few days just to say thank you for the ideas!

I’ll tattoo the Feathercoin logo on my body for some FTC. I’ve never gotten a tattoo before but what the heck… I believe in FTC enough to make it permanent.

[/quote]I know this is something that I need to start looking into. In the next few days, I’ll put up a SMF instance and start experimenting with all the different plugins.

1.Make a specific exchange in which you receive BTC and change them for FTC, and offer an additional bonus for larger amount. So E.G. if you exchange 1 BTC you get 100 FTC ( dependable on the current rate of course) and get 1% extra. With 2 BTC you get 2% extra.
2.Create a pool with an top 10 Feathercoin reward. The purpose should be to mine as much as possible during a month or an amount of blocks. At the end of the month a top 10 is created and rewarded. You will attract a lot of new customers , and let the loyal ones focus on Feathercoin
3.And another very important one: I noticed there is a Feathercoin wiki, but not a real Wikipedia page. Wikipedia is consulted a lot for unknown items so there should be one ASAP. I can translate to a Dutch wiki afterwards.

Accepting feedback for 1 more day… let’s get those ideas turned in!

I really like the idea of viral tagging in the real world. I’m going to investigate purchasing some stickers with the FTC logo, and a QR code linking to the feathercoin video animation. Then, we can setup that happy tagging competition for most original image, most inventive, most humorous etc etc. Everybody likes a good ‘lol’!
