GET YOUR IDEA OUT OF THE PAPER AND WIN 3.5 LTC! #LITECOIN Hands-on Campaign - Deadline: August 31 2021

I have a list of ideas and would love to introduce you to some interested in contributing time or money if needed for its success! Again, If I win I’ll donate the prize to the Litecoin Foundation, I’m sure most would. Great idea asking the community for ideas!

LTC I think has a bright future ahead and probably already agreements as they are very confident! I wonder what they have coming up next? LTC is impressive!

Now I see through Flare, LTC and the other three assets, are collaborating with EsportsUploading: A33BC320-CA10-4042-8805-4BD1C58F30CE.png...

Don’t forget the deadline is August 31! :rocket: :rocket: :rocket:

“Crypto Reversi” is finished. All that is left is to publish it online so that others may also play it. I’ll do it in the morning, but you can see a demonstration of it at the following link:

Hello! This is my entry to the competition: a reversi game with a crypto theme.

Seems so easy to win this contest. I wish I could run. :slight_smile:

I had some crazy ideas I definitely want to share. After the deadline, of course.

We are only 2 days to go. Here is what is going to happen:

After the deadline, I will take the compiled list from 2021 #LITECOIN Hands-on Campaign Subscribed Contestants and will kindly ask for the two other fellows to vote on the best well executed idea on pvt message. I will provide then am easy way to vote.

They will not be aware of each other vote, so I think it will be fair enough.

After they vote, I will compile the votes and add my vote only if needed, in case of draw.

Then, I will transfer the LTC and announce the winners.

Some of these ideas are so cool :slightly_smiling_face:

Campaign is over!

The 3 members of the “board” will vote and we will announce the winners son.

We (@Jf7788 and I) have voted on the ideas, had some further discussion to be able to evaluate all propositions and reach an agreement on the winners. First, we would like to thanks all of you who have collaborated on this contest I created, thanks to the people who have kindly promoted and all the subscribed contestants (@istarman, @Shfbdmhsgs, @Adamt, @ifatweasel, @sashatheguru and @fredericomba). I know it’s hard to put effort on ‘something’ that ‘someone’ said will give away money. Thanks for believing on my crazy idea.

Also, thanks for @Jf7788 and our anon donator for truly believing this contest and putting more money on it to help it grow. It was a challenge for me to handle money that is not mime to make this contest work. Again, thanks for believing on my crazy idea.

At last but not at least, we are now announcing the winners on 2021 Litecoin Hands-on Campaign.

Should we do this again?

Maybe it’s a good idea. But I think that it would be better if we actually began to do business using Litecoin. As an example, I think that crowdfunding could help on risky projects that aim to deliver a product that is demanded by many people but the cost to get started is not trivial. The more people that there are to divide the cost, the lower is the individual cost becomes. A lower individual cost encourages people to be more inclined to participate, since the asymmetry in downside and upside becomes more evident.

I’ve been hired to help on the development of a new programming infrastructure and some interesting progress has been made so far. It if had about one thousand people pledging 0.1 LTC every month, it would be enough for the monthly expenses and maybe even leave a bit for savings. The amount of complaints targeted at C and C++ over the decades leads me to believe that it’s easy to find over one thousand people to fund this project that has a real chance to be the one that solves the problems of these past languages without introducing new ones.

Litecoin is suited for doing a crowdfunding operation, since the transactions are public and anyone can easily participate.

I dig your idea, and tried to help the bootstrap of Litecoin Community Crowdfund System. Bootstrap the Litecoin Community Crowdfunding System

There’s money for this purpose (45 LTC if I remember well), but I don’t know why it doesn’t take of.

The effort for this campaign is a lot smaller and made not to create an entire ecosystem, but rather cheep up people.

FIY: I don’t have a pile of money and definitely I am not a whale. I began this campaign by giving 1 LTC and other 2 people helped to reach the final sum.

Well that deadline has passed. Effects? Well no wonder really as those enthusiastic approached do not have much effectif not organiced. Reason being the followership of the Social media supportes are not really into promoting or even resharing.

To make a marketing campaign which deserves its name there are several things needed:
Someone of the @litecoinfoundation must be involved. He/she needs to call onto the social media acount holders in order to organice them. To make a plan you need to know what you have.

Some influential Influencers need to be contacted and some LTC need to be available to pay them. Most effective are campaigns in south east asia campaigners.

There is much more what can be done.

Deadline passed and the winners have got their prizes. I am glad that this campaign made @sashatheguru really involved here and that the winner @fredericomba is also a efficient leader of this community.
I love the foundation, but I think we most not be eclipsed by it. We must do what we want as a community.
Maybe we should change the focus of the campaign and award only one category each year.
For example:
1st year will be awarded the best GIF movie about LTC.
Next year will be awarded the best development effort.
What do you think?

The result we see at the moment. Not really something what I’d call marketing. The litecoin foundation hold shares of a bank, a Creditcard is a nice thing to have and a gimmik hardly anyone else holds. The involvement of one member of the litecoin foundation is just to get a list of all people having social media accounts. From there on someone else can coordinate.

Thank so much @Lite_Diss
As for the competition, my way of seeing it, is to attract a max of designers and ppl with crazy ideas. Graphic/motion design and dev are 2 distincts categories but there should be both each year

@Nickz, as for your constant cristism of the foundation in matter of marketing, we should also take matter in our own hands. While others do, you havent posted yet an article your wrote on a website you would have dedicated for liteccoin like lookintolitecoin.com and show us how efficient you could be in marketing

Meanwhile, here is an animation I designed for and with the litecoin foundation

thx yeah sure I try to give constructive cristism as I point out that there is no one who manages the Social Media Accounts (members of the Forum)

What I critizice is the lack of organization. Nice videos there are what is missing is to get the word out. What good is a nice vid if the people sharing the vid do not have a followership in that area where it is needed?

Look at tether their Marketing is something pretty effective.

That spot was taken due to the lack of getting the word out, thus marketing.

That’s out of scope of this campaign. But I agree we should be more effective. They way of doing this is pretty simple, is to have good press releases, rather than just social media.
