I hate it when @brootle is right. I don't mind @mosssified and @nader spending some money on a play and this was a fair play. Get some pornstars and wannabe/has-been influencers make one post on X and see if it brings some of their followers to DESO. A second play was let's get Verified X Users to do the same thing and let's see if we get some activity. Both clearly aren't working.
In the meantime, there's long-pending community rewards including the rewards for test-net activity that has been kept pending when it was supposedly ready end of January. This shows clear lack of respect for the community - it's like they are thinking they will always be here. These losers.
It's not like this will generate more new users. It's just the right thing to do for people who've had your back in tough times. So that they have your back the next time you need them too.
LOL... @HighKey referred @sophiedeelive who got $70K as bounty reward for making "Focus is key." post.
See focus.xyz/earnings/sophiedeelive
And total 0 people joined to @focus via her referral link 🤣 see focus.xyz/bounty/referrals/sophiedeelive
This is the most stupid bounty program I have ever seen in my entire life... And if you confront @mossified and @nader with this, they pretend they never seen it...
So let this sink in... some random account gets $70K for nothing... and you people here keeping community alive since 2021 - you get zero reward.... even more... @nader dumps his $focus bags on you.
how can you tell that they dumped their bags?
It’s sad, but true
90% of any Web3 product is based on "Community." Deso doesn't have it, it doesn't have active social networks, it doesn't have that fun element that we humans need to adapt to something new. Could this reward system have worked? Maybe, but it hasn't. In my opinion, start by promoting what already works. Create a solid, managed, and active Telegram group. Support real projects with real communities like SG and a few others. Support developers building on Deso. Make it fun. Airdrops for participation, a fun website, etc. The cryptocurrency world right now is based more on appearance than on its mechanics. Deso is great as a mechanical product, but its commercial side needs to be exploited. There are so many things that could be done using much less money than is being given away. I think at this point it's safe to say that this launch has failed. The token has only gone down. It's time for the core team to rethink some things. This may work, but some aspects need work
The bounties are top heavy...
actually insane
Crypto dies from a lack of credibility. Bitcoin is king because of credibility. Eth is 2nd place because of credibility. D level influencers = no credibility. Treating your og's right = credibility.
Yeah, I get where you're coming from. The whole influencer stunt doesn't always translate to real growth, especially when the community feels sidelined. Rewarding the people who’ve supported you from the start is just basic respect.
